Supported Events

The Layout Reorderer fires the following events (for more information about events, see Events):

Event	Type	Description	Parameters	Parameter Description
`onShowKeyboardDropWarning`	default	This event fires before a drop warning is displayed.	`item, kbDropWarning`	`item`: The item being moved. `kbDropWarning`: The DOM element that contains the drop warning, and that will be displayd.
`onSelect`	default	This event fires when an item is selected by the user.	`item`	`item`: The item being selected.
`onBeginMove`	"preventable"	This event fires just before a request to move is processed. Because the event is preventable, listeners may prevent the move from happening.	`item`	`item`: The item being moved.
`onMove`	default	This event fires just before an item is actually moved.	`item, requestedPosition`	`item`: The item being moved. `requestedPosition`: An object describing the position that the user is trying to move the item into: requestedPosition = { element, // the drop target position // the position, relative to the drop target, // that a dragged item should be dropped. // One of BEFORE, AFTER, INSIDE, or REPLACE }
`afterMove`	default	This event fires after an item has successfully been moved. For more information, see Talking to the Server Using The afterMove Event This event replaces the `afterMoveCallbackUrl` option, which was deprecated at version 1.1.2.	`item, requestedPosition, movables`	`item`: The item being moved. `requestedPosition`: An object describing the position that the user is trying to move the item into: requestedPosition = { element, // the drop target position // the position, relative to the drop target, // that a dragged item should be dropped. // One of BEFORE, AFTER, INSIDE, or REPLACE } `movables`: A list of all of the movable elements.
`onHover`	default	This event fires when the cursor moves over top of an item, and when the cursor moves away from an item. The default listener either adds or removes the hover class (`styles.hover`) to/from the item.	`item, state`	`item`: The item being moved. `state`: A boolean indicating whether the cursor is moving to (`true`) or away from (`false`) the item.
`onRefresh`	default	This event fires any time the order of the items changes, or when the `refresh()` function is called.	none

Options

Selectors

The selectors option is an object containing CSS-based selectors for various parts of the Layout Reorderer. Supported selectors are:

Name	Description	Default	Examples
`columns`	Identifies the DOM elements contained within the Layout Reorderer container that are themselves column containers, that is a container element that corresponds to a single column in the layout.	`".flc-reorderer-column"`	selectors: { columns: "#column1,#column2,#column3" }
`modules`	Identifies the DOM elements contained within the Layout Reorderer container that are considered to be modules within the columns. Note that modules are assumed to be movable, unless they are identified by the `lockedModules` selector (see below).	`".flc-reorderer-module"`	selectors: { modules: "div" }
`lockedModules`	Identifies the modules that should not be movable.	none	selectors: { lockedModules: ".locked" }
`grabHandle`	If present, identifies a single element within a module that the user must click on to drag the module.	"" (empty string)	selectors: { grabHandle: ".title-bar" }
`dropWarning`	Identifies a single element within the DOM that can be shown to display a warning when the user tries to move module where it can't be moved. It is assumed that this element contains whatever drop warning text and mark-up the implementor desires.	`".flc-reorderer-dropWarning"`	selectors: { dropWarning: "#drop-warning" }

General options

Name	Description	Values	Default
`selectors`	JavaScript object defining CSS-style selectors for important DOM elements. See Selectors for more information.	The object must be a list of objects containing any subset of the following keys: dropWarning movables selectables dropTargets grabHandle stylisticOffset	selectors: { dropWarning: ".flc-reorderer-dropWarning", movables: ".flc-reorderer-movable", selectables: ".flc-reorderer-movable", dropTargets: ".flc-reorderer-movable", grabHandle: "", stylisticOffset: "" }
`listeners`	JavaScript object containing listeners to be attached to the supported events.	Keys in the object are event names, values are functions or arrays of functions.	See Supported Events
`styles`	an object containing CSS class names for styling the Reorderer.	The object may contain any of the keys defined in the default class names (shown to the right). Any class names not provided will revert to the default.	styles: { defaultStyle: "fl-reorderer-movable-default", selected: "fl-reorderer-movable-selected", dragging: "fl-reorderer-movable-dragging", mouseDrag: "fl-reorderer-movable-dragging", hover: "fl-reorderer-movable-hover", dropMarker: "fl-reorderer-dropMarker", avatar: "fl-reorderer-avatar" }
`keysets`	an object containing sets of keycodes to use for directional navigation, and for the modifier key used for moving a movable item.	The object must be a list of objects containing the following keys: `modifier` : a function that returns `true` or `false`, indicating whether or not the required modifier(s) are activated `up` `down` `right` `left`	fluid.reorderer.defaultKeysets = [{ modifier : function (evt) { return evt.ctrlKey; }, up : fluid.reorderer.keys.UP, down : fluid.reorderer.keys.DOWN, right : fluid.reorderer.keys.RIGHT, left : fluid.reorderer.keys.LEFT }, { modifier : function (evt) { return evt.ctrlKey; }, up : fluid.reorderer.keys.i, down : fluid.reorderer.keys.m, right : fluid.reorderer.keys.k, left : fluid.reorderer.keys.j }];
`selectablesTabindex`	Normally injected automatically from the `layoutHandler`	String IoC expression	selectablesTabindex: "{that}.layoutHandler.options.selectablesTabindex"
`avatarCreator`	a function that returns a valid DOM node to be used as the dragging avatar		The item being dragged will be cloned
`disableWrap`	This option is used to disable wrapping of elements within the container.	boolean	`false`
`mergePolicy`	an object describing how user options should be merged in with defaults For information on options merging, see Options Merging		mergePolicy: { keysets: "replace", "selectors.selectables": "selectors.movables", "selectors.dropTargets": "selectors.movables" }
