Configuring Shuffle

Here are the options you can change, as well as their defaults. The Shuffle.options property contains all the defaults.

No options need to be specified, but itemSelector should be used. Other common options to change are speed and sizer.

Options

buffer [number]

Default: 0

Useful for percentage based heights when they might not always be exactly the same (in pixels).

columnThreshold [number]

Default: 0.01

Reading the width of elements isn't precise enough and can cause columns to jump between values.

columnWidth [number | (containerWidth: number) => number]

Default: 0

A static number or function that returns a number which determines how wide the columns are (in pixels).

delimiter [string | null]

Default: null

Set a delimiter to parse the data-groups attribute with using String.prototype.split(), instead of using JSON.parse(). For example, if your HTML was data-groups="nature,city", you could set delimiter: ','.

easing [string]

Default: 'cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.0, 0.2, 1)'

CSS easing function to use.

filterMode [Shuffle.FilterMode]

Default: Shuffle.FilterMode.ANY

Affects using an array with filter. e.g. filter(['one', 'two']). With "any", the element passes the test if any of its groups are in the array. With "all", the element only passes if all groups are in the array.

group [string]

Default: Shuffle.ALL_ITEMS ("all")

Initial filter group.

gutterWidth [number | (containerWidth: number) => number]

Default: 0

A static number or function that determines how wide the gutters between columns are (in pixels).

initialSort [SortOptions | null]

Default: null

Shuffle can be initialized with a sort object. It is the same object given to the sort method.

isCentered [boolean]

Default: false

Whether to center grid items in the row with the leftover space.

isRTL [boolean]

Default: false

Whether to align grid items to the right in the row.

itemSelector [string]

Default: '*'

Query selector to find Shuffle items. e.g. '.picture-item'.

roundTransforms [boolean]

Default: true

Whether to round pixel values used in translate(x, y). This usually avoids blurriness.

sizer [HTMLElement | string | null]

Default: null

Element or selector string. Use an element to determine the size of columns and gutters.

speed [number]

Default: 250

Transition/animation speed (milliseconds).

staggerAmount [number]

Default: 15

Transition delay offset for each item in milliseconds.

staggerAmountMax [number]

Default: 150

Maximum stagger delay in milliseconds. This caps the stagger amount so that it does not exceed the given value. Since the transition delay is incremented for each item in the grid, this is useful for large grids of items.

useTransforms [boolean]

Default: false

Whether to use absolute positioning instead of transforms.

Sorting object

by [(element: HTMLElement) => any]

Default: null

Sorting function which gives you the element each shuffle item is using by default.

Returning undefined from the by function will reset the order to DOM order.

compare [(a: Shuffle.ShuffleItem, b: Shuffle.ShuffleItem) => number]

Default: null

Instead of using the simple by function, you can use the compare function provide a completely custom sorting function.

tip

See Advanced sorting for usage.

key [keyof Shuffle.ShuffleItem]

Default: 'element'

Determines which property of the ShuffleItem instance is passed to the by function.

randomize [boolean]

Default: false

If true, this will skip the sorting and return a randomized order in the array.

reverse [boolean]

Default: false

Use array.reverse() to reverse the results of your sort.
