CementJS is a jQuery plugin, which will allow you to quickly present a list of elements under a grid layout. It is a Masonry alternative.

Unlike Masonry, CementJS create a real grid : every row has the same height, and every column has the same width. This doesn't mean your elements can't span over several columns and/or rows.

Installation

1. Download cement.min.js (or its unminified version)
2. Include jQuery : <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
3. Include CementJS : <script src="cement.min.js"></script>

Basic usage

For a basic usage, you need to wrap your elements in a container :

<section id="container">
	<article>...</article>
	<article>...</article>
	<article>...</article>
</section>

Then, initialize CementJS :

$('#container').cement();

That's all. CementJS will automatically calculate your elements position, trying to take as less space as possible.

Span over columns and rows

If you want an element to span over 2 columns, use this HTML :

<article data-w="2">...</article>

In the same manner, you can span over rows (or combine both) :

<article data-w="2" data-h="3">...</article>

Both data attributes are initialized to 1 if they're not specified
