Getting started

HTML

Include the Masonry .js file in your site.

<script src="/path/to/masonry.pkgd.min.js"></script>

Masonry works on a container grid element with a group of child items.

<div class="grid">
  <div class="grid-item">...</div>
  <div class="grid-item grid-item--width2">...</div>
  <div class="grid-item">...</div>
  ...
</div>

CSS

All sizing of items is handled by your CSS.

.grid-item { width: 200px; }
.grid-item--width2 { width: 400px; }

Initialize with jQuery

You can use Masonry as a jQuery plugin: $('selector').masonry().

$('.grid').masonry({
  // options
  itemSelector: '.grid-item',
  columnWidth: 200
});

Initialize with Vanilla JavaScript

You can use Masonry with vanilla JS: new Masonry( elem, options ). The Masonry() constructor accepts two arguments: the container element and an options object.

var elem = document.querySelector('.grid');
var msnry = new Masonry( elem, {
  // options
  itemSelector: '.grid-item',
  columnWidth: 200
});

// element argument can be a selector string
//   for an individual element
var msnry = new Masonry( '.grid', {
  // options
});

Initialize in HTML

You can initialize Masonry in HTML, without writing any JavaScript. Add data-masonry attribute to the container element. Options can be set in its value.

<div class="grid" data-masonry='{ "itemSelector": ".grid-item", "columnWidth": 200 }'>

Edit this demo on CodePen

HTML initialization was previously done with a class of js-masonry and setting options in data-masonry-options in Masonry v3. Masonry v4 is backwards compatible with this code.

<div class="grid js-masonry"
  data-masonry-options='{ "itemSelector": ".grid-item", "columnWidth": 200 }'>
