Add / remove support for the TileLayout component
I would like to see the ability to dynamically add and remove items for the TileLayout component, ideally using drag & drop. My use case would be to have a TileLayout dashboard area to which I would like to drag & drop new items from a side toolbar. Additionally items should be removable from the dashboard area.

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.

Hello,

 

Was the final solution of this just to use setOptions?

If so is there a different feature request to add support to add/remove tiles without using setOptions (and without destroying the component and re-initializing).

See my comment on this forum post.

 

Thanks!

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,

It is resizing with the browser because it is based on a bootstrap responsive grid.

Resize your browser at tablet size and phone size and see how it behaves.

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,

Alex,

As far as my comment regarding resizing is concerned, look at https://www.kidoju.com/en/s/5f9ab7405bd2d0012eb571f9 which is developed with Kendo UI. It does not use TileLayout. Move the panels around. Resize the window to mobile phone size and check the responsiveness using a bootstrap grid.

I wish I could replace my layout solution with TileLayout but in the current state of the widget, it is not suitable.

Hi, Alex

Check https://dojo.telerik.com/ohUcoter

1) First change the values in the textboxes and see how first and second change with MVVM

2) Try to add or remove a tile: all bindings are lost because of setOptions (this is what I mean by stating below "using setOptions as shown below is not ideal with MVVM bindings").

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 Alex Hajigeorgieva

Bind the content of tiles (that is A and B) in your example, not the button click event.

Consider form fields in your tiles (possibly with an edit button in the header).

Then if you want to add/remove tiles things get tricky.

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.

Ideally also:

  1. layout should use a responsive grid to resize properly on mobile devices, and
  2. there should be a persistence mechanism to load/save layout as user preferences (using setOptions as shown below is not ideal with MVVM bindings)

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.

step 2: drag item 3 to item 2. with reorderable: true

Error : "kendo.all.js:171577 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'order' of undefined".

Please check it in dojo link.

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

remove function ??

Hi Ron, I too put in a ticket for this.  I have code that adds an item. I took it from kendo.all.js  _initContainers function.  I am currently working on removing it and will post something once I work it out,  This is not production code so excuse the mess!

 

 var t2 = $("#tilelayout").data("kendoTileLayout")
        var containerSettings = {
           
            bodyTemplate: $("#first").html(),
            header: { text: 'Some Header' },
            order :2,
            colSpan: 1,
            rowSpan: 1,
           

        }
        var id = kendo.guid();
        var container = $('<div></div>').addClass("k-tilelayout-item k-card").attr('id', id);
        var headerSettings = containerSettings.header;

         if (headerSettings && (headerSettings.template || headerSettings.text)) {
            header = $('<div></div>').addClass("k-tilelayout-item-header k-card-header ");
            if (t2.options.reorderable) { //that.options.reorderable
                header.addClass("k-cursor-grab");
            }
            if (headerSettings.text) {
                headerContent = '<h5 class=\'' + "k-card-title" + '\'>' + headerSettings.text + '</h5> <span class="removeItem glyphicon glyphicon-remove-circle"></span>';
            }
            header.append(headerContent || kendo.template(headerSettings.template)({}));
            header.appendTo(container);
        }
        body = $('<div></div>').addClass("k-tilelayout-item-body k-card-body");
        body.append(kendo.template(containerSettings.bodyTemplate)({}));
        body.appendTo(container);
        container.appendTo(t2.element); //that.element
        t2._addContainer(container, containerSettings, 2, id); //that._addContainer(container, containerSettings, i, id);
