Vue Grid Layout is a grid layout system for Vue.js, similar to Gridster. It allows users to create draggable and resizable grid layouts with responsive breakpoints. This library is particularly useful for building dashboards, drag-and-drop interfaces, or any application requiring a flexible grid system.

Pros

• Easy integration with Vue.js projects
• Supports responsive layouts with breakpoints
• Provides draggable and resizable grid items
• Offers a wide range of customization options

Cons

• Limited documentation for advanced use cases
• May have performance issues with a large number of grid items
• Requires additional setup for server-side rendering
• Some users report occasional bugs with drag-and-drop functionality

Code Examples

1. Basic grid layout setup:

<template>
  <grid-layout
    :layout="layout"
    :col-num="12"
    :row-height="30"
    :is-draggable="true"
    :is-resizable="true"
    :vertical-compact="true"
    :use-css-transforms="true"
  >
    <grid-item v-for="item in layout"
               :key="item.i"
               :x="item.x"
               :y="item.y"
               :w="item.w"
               :h="item.h"
               :i="item.i">
      {{ item.i }}
    </grid-item>
  </grid-layout>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      layout: [
        { x: 0, y: 0, w: 2, h: 2, i: '0' },
        { x: 2, y: 0, w: 2, h: 4, i: '1' },
        { x: 4, y: 0, w: 2, h: 5, i: '2' }
      ]
    }
  }
}
</script>

2. Responsive layout with breakpoints:

<template>
  <grid-layout
    :layout="layout"
    :col-num="12"
    :row-height="30"
    :responsive="true"
    :breakpoints="{ lg: 1200, md: 996, sm: 768, xs: 480, xxs: 0 }"
    :cols="{ lg: 12, md: 10, sm: 6, xs: 4, xxs: 2 }"
  >
    <!-- Grid items here -->
  </grid-layout>
</template>

3. Handling layout changes:

<template>
  <grid-layout
    :layout="layout"
    @layout-updated="onLayoutUpdated"
  >
    <!-- Grid items here -->
  </grid-layout>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  methods: {
    onLayoutUpdated(newLayout) {
      console.log('Layout updated:', newLayout);
      // Handle the updated layout
    }
  }
}
</script>

Getting Started

1. Install the package:

   npm install vue-grid-layout
   

2. Import and use in your Vue.js component:

   <template>
     <grid-layout :layout="layout" :col-num="12" :row-height="30">
       <grid-item v-for="item in layout" :key="item.i" :x="item.x" :y="item.y" :w="item.w" :h="item.h" :i="item.i">
         {{ item.i }}
       </grid-item>
     </grid-layout>
   </template>
   
   <script>
   import { GridLayout, GridItem } from 'vue-grid-layout';
   
   export default {
     components: {
       GridLayout,
       GridItem
     },
     data() {
       return {
         layout: [
           { x: 0, y: 0, w: 2, h: 2, i: '0' },
           { x: 2, y: 0, w:
