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 2.5KB (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+ (though we're working on IE8.)

Upcoming

IE8 support: without media queries, they aren't needed anyway.
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.

How to contribute

We use Gulp to add polyfills and minify the script in the dist/ folder. To make changes to the script itself, please edit src/salvattore.js and send us a pull request.
