I am trying to create a graph view using containers. So if: [A's -> B's -> C's] the view would show an objects c inside of Bs which are inside of As.
Something like this:
I think a masonry view is perfect for this but I can't get the nesting to work right.
Fiddle of what I have so far: http://jsfiddle.net/paulocoelho/5SxQ5/4/
I don't get why they are not alining. I also tried using CSS's column-count and column-gap but found the rendering to be extremely buggy.
Fiddle code coz I must...
var $container = $('.container');
$container.masonry({
/*columnWidth: 200,*/
itemSelector: '.eWrapper'
});
Consider this.
Remove itemSelector
property - if the one is set Masonry
will use not only children items but all descendants that match that selector. So, for the first container (motherContainer
) Masonry
would try to layout ALL .wrapper
elements, include those in nested .container
elements.
And the key point - call Masonry
on the reverted array of .container
elements. From the innermost to the outermost, because Masonry changes children elements' height leaving gaps in the parent container.
var $container = $('.container');
$($container.get().reverse()).masonry({});
Just give it a try. Here is a jsfiddle.
I also added C elements.
