Categorize, sort, and filter a responsive grid of items
- Uses CSS Transitions!
- Responsive
- Filter items by groups
- Items can have multiple groups
- Sort elements
- Advanced filtering method (like searching)
Settings you can change (these are the defaults)
var options = {
group : 'all' // Which category to show
speed : 800, // Speed of the transition (in milliseconds). 800 = .8 seconds
easing : 'ease-out' // css easing function to use
};
$('#grid').shuffle(options);The easing function is one of default, linear, ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out, or cubic-bezier.
The html structure. The only real important thing here is the 'data-groups' attribute. It has to be a valid JSON array of strings.
<div id="grid">
<div class="item" data-groups='["photography"]' data-date-created="2010-09-14" data-title="Baseball">
<img src="img/baseball.png" />
<div class="item-details">
<a href="#">Photography</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="item" data-groups='["wallpaper", "3d"]' data-date-created="2011-08-14" data-title="Tennis">
<img src="img/tennis-ball.png" />
<div class="item-details">
<a href="#">3D Render, Wallpaper</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="item" data-groups='["3d", "wallpaper"]' data-date-created="2009-05-27" data-title="iMac">
<img src="img/imac.png" />
<div class="item-details">
<a href="#">3D Render, Wallpaper</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="item" data-groups='["graphics"]' data-date-created="2012-05-14" data-title="Master Chief">
<img src="img/master-chief.png" />
<div class="item-details">
<a href="#">Graphic Design</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>Shuffle takes the width, margin-top, and marigin-right from the .item.
#grid .item {
width: 230px;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
}Say you have this markup for your options
<ul class="filter-options">
<li data-group="all" class="active">Most Recent</li>
<li data-group="wallpaper">Wallpapers</li>
<li data-group="graphics">Graphic Design</li>
<li data-group="photography">Photography</li>
<li data-group="3d">3D Renders</li>
</ul>And when you click on a li, you want the plugin to shuffle. Here's an example:
$(document).ready(function(){
// Set up button clicks
$('.filter-options li').on('click', function() {
var $this = $(this),
$grid = $('#grid');
// Hide current label, show current label in title
$('.filter-options .active').removeClass('active');
$this.addClass('active');
// Filter elements
$grid.shuffle($this.data('group'));
});
// instantiate the plugin
$('#grid').shuffle({
group : 'all',
speed : 800,
easing : 'ease-out'
});
});These events will be triggered at their respective times: shrink.shuffle, shrunk.shuffle, filter.shuffle, filtered.shuffle, and sorted.shuffle.
You can order the elements based off a function you supply. In the example above, each item has a data-date-created and data-title attribute. The filter buttons have a data-sort attribute with the value of the item’s attribute. Then, with some JavaScript, we can get the correct attribute and provide a function to sort by.
<li data-sort="title">Title</li><div class="item" data-title="Baseball">…</div>// Sorting options
$('.sort-options li').on('click', function() {
var $this = $(this),
$grid = $('#grid'),
sort = $this.data('sort'),
opts = {};
// Hide current label, show current label in title
$('.sort-options .active').removeClass('active');
$this.addClass('active');
// We're given the element wrapped in jQuery
if (sort === 'date-created') {
opts = {
by: function($el) {
return $el.data('date-created');
}
}
} else if (sort === 'title') {
opts = {
by: function($el) {
return $el.data('title').toLowerCase();
}
}
}
// Filter elements
$grid.shuffle('sort', opts);
});The opts parameter can contain two properties. reverse, a boolean which will reverse the array. by is a function that is passed the element wrapped in jQuery. In the case above, we’re returning the value of the data-date-created or data-title attributes.
Calling sort with an empty object will reset the elements to DOM order.
By passing a function to shuffle, you can customize the filtering to your hearts content. Shuffle will iterate over each item in the container and give your function the element wrapped in jQuery and the shuffle instance. Return true to keep the element or false to hide it.
// Filters elements with a data-title attribute with less than 10 characters
$('#grid').shuffle(function($el, shuffle) {
return $el.data('title').length < 10;
});// Advanced filtering
$('.filter .search').on('keyup change', function() {
var val = this.value.toLowerCase();
$('#grid').shuffle(function($el, shuffle) {
// Only search elements in the current group
if (shuffle.group !== 'all' && $.inArray(shuffle.group, $el.data('groups')) === -1) {
return false;
}
// Get the text inside our element and search for the value in the input
var text = $.trim($el.text()).toLowerCase();
return text.indexOf(val) != -1;
});

- Modernizr
A custom Modernizr build has been included with the plugin. If you already have Modernizr on your site, you may delete it. If you don't know what Modernizr is, leave it!

- Firefox
- IE 7+
- Opera
- Safari
Browsers that don't support CSS transitions and transforms cough IE <= 9 cough will see a less cool, javascript based version of the effect.
