React Masonry Mixin

Introduction:

A React.js Masonry mixin. (Also available as a component - you should use that instead!)

Live demo:

hearsay.me (web) hearsay.me (github)

Usage:

• The mixin is now bundled with Masonry, so no additional dependencies needed!

• ~~You will have to use Masonry as a script dependency, as there is no complete npm module available at the moment.~~

• You can optionally include Masonry as a script tag <script src='//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/masonry/3.1.5/masonry.pkgd.min.js' />

• To use the mixin

• require the mixin and inject React

• pass a reference and a masonry options object

• make sure you use the same reference as ref in your component

• if you need to - access the masonry object through this.masonry in your component

• example code

var React = require('react');
var MasonryMixin = require('react-masonry-mixin')(React);
 
var masonryOptions = {
    transitionDuration: 0
};
 
var SomeComponent = React.createClass({

    mixins: [MasonryMixin(React)('masonryContainer', masonryOptions)],
 
    render: function () {
        var childElements = this.props.elements.map(function(element){
           return (
                <div className="someclass">
                    {element.name}
                </div>
            );
        });
        
        return (
            <div ref="masonryContainer">
                {childElements}
            </div>
        );
    }
});

module.exports = SomeComponent;
