Piling.js
Piling.js currently supports visual piling of images, matrices, and SVG out of the box, but can easily be customized with your own render.
Get Started
Install
bash
npm install piling.js pixi.js
PixiJS is the underlying WebGL rendering engine. It's not pre-bundled in case your application needs to use PixiJS elsewhere.
Optionally, if you want to lay out piles by more than two attributes you have to install UMAP as follows.
bash
npm install umap-js
Quick Start
Let's pile some natural images
```javascript import createPilingJs, { createImageRenderer } from 'piling.js';
// define your items const items = [{ src: 'http://example.com/my-fancy-photo.png' }, ...];
// instantiate a matching the data type of your items const itemRenderer = createImageRenderer();
const piling = createPilingJs( document.getElementById('demo'), // dom element in which piling.js will be rendered { // Mandatory: add the items and corresponding renderer items, itemRenderer, // Optional: configure the view specification columns: 4 } ); ```
Et voilà 🎉
