Hello Alexa,

At present the option to add and remove tiles is to use the setOptions() method. Feel free to submit a feature request for it as there is no such for it. If it gains popularity and we see the value in it we will consider including it I the RoadMap.

Hi Jack,

If there is anything specific that you would like to see when resizing or reordering on a mobile device, please share it in the feedback portal dedicated for responsiveness:

https://feedback.telerik.com/kendo-jquery-ui/1497744-resizing-for-tilelayout-on-mobile

As the current thread has diverged from the initial idea - add/remove support. It would be great if we could keep the threads concise. 

Best regards,

Hello,  Jacques,

The example you have sent looks exactly like our Sortable panels demo, I do not see any resizing options:

https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/sortable/sortable-panels

For the MVVM bindings, thank you for the Dojo, I will address this with the developer who is currently working on the method so we can have a solution which involves MVVM templates as well.

Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention and clarifying the use case.

Kind Regards,

Hi, Jack,

I am not entirely certain what is the expected configuration.

Are you referring to similar to the following:

// HTML
'bodyTemplate': viewModel.first

// model
first:  kendo.template($('#first').html()),

https://dojo.telerik.com/@bubblemaster/EKOmETOK

If not, please share a runnable example with the problematic behaviour so we can take it into account whilst we are working on this item.

Hello, Jack,

I created a separate feature request for resizing on mobiles here:

https://feedback.telerik.com/kendo-jquery-ui/1497744-resizing-for-tilelayout-on-mobile

In regards to the second point, can you please share a specific scenario in which you have encountered an issue with MVVM and setOptions(). I created this MVVM example using the same methods as shown below and they seem to work well:

https://dojo.telerik.com/OWaTADAx

Look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi, Duy,

Thank you for getting in touch.

I modified the function by removing the order property from the tiles before passing them to the setOptions() method:

https://dojo.telerik.com/uBEhEwag/2

 $("#remove").click(function (e) {
              e.preventDefault();
              var layout = $("#tilelayout").getKendoTileLayout();
              var options = layout.getOptions();
              if(options.containers.length){
                options.containers.splice(1,1);
                var containers = options.containers.map(function(container){
                	delete container.order;
                        return container;
                });
                layout.setOptions({containers: containers});
              }
            });

Give this a try and let me know in case you see any issues with it. We did discover a bug related with the ordering and setOptions() so it could be related to it. The bug is now fixed since 2020 R2 SP1. 

Let us know what your findings are.

Hi,

Currently, to add/remove a tile dynamically, you can use the setOptions() method. In one case, you push the new tile in the containers array and in the other, splice the array
