Salvattore

![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/Join Chat.svg)

Salvattore is a library agnostic JS script that will help you organize your HTML elements according to the number of columns you specify, like jQuery Masonry.

Features

No requirements: Salvattore is a standalone script, it will work right away after being referenced in your HTML page.
Extremely lightweight: about 2.7KB (minified and gzipped.)
CSS-driven configuration: the number of columns is defined in CSS and the styling is left to the user.
Media queries ready: the same parameters can be used inside media queries for better results on different devices.
Wide browser support: modern browsers and IE9+

Upcoming

Balanced columns: to keep all columns about the same height.

Methods

Methods can be called on the globally exposed salvattore object for advanced usage.

var grid = document.querySelector('#grid');
var item = document.createElement('article');

salvattore.appendElements(grid, [item]);
item.outerHTML = 'I’ve been appended!';

Method	Argument	Description
appendElements	grid : DOM object, elements: Array of DOM objects	Adds elements to the end of a grid.
prependElements	grid : DOM object, elements: Array of DOM objects	Adds elements to a beginning of a grid. Adds multiple elements one by one before each other, so note the order.
registerGrid	grid : DOM object	Adds a new grid to salvattore. Which is initialized automatically then.
recreateColumns	grid : DOM object	Removes all the columns from the grid, and adds them again.
rescanMediaQueries		Checks stylesheets and selectors for media queries again. Recreates the columns for all grids afterwards.
