This repo only supports NativeScript pre-6.0. The latest version of the plugin supporting NS 6+ is availble as part of ProPlugins.

Usage

You need to add xmlns:gv="nativescript-grid-view" to your page tag, and then simply use <gv:GridView/> in order to add the widget to your page. Use <gv:Gridview.itemTemplate/> to specify the template for each cell:

<!-- test-page.xml -->
<Page xmlns="http://schemas.nativescript.org/tns.xsd" xmlns:gv="nativescript-grid-view" loaded="pageLoaded">
  <GridLayout>
    <gv:GridView items="{{ items }}" colWidth="24%" rowHeight="15%" padding="5" itemTap="gridViewItemTap" itemLoading="gridViewItemLoading" loadMoreItems="gridViewLoadMoreItems">
      <gv:GridView.itemTemplate>
        <GridLayout backgroundColor="#33ffff" style="margin: 5">
          <Label text="{{ value }}" verticalAlignment="center"/>
        </GridLayout>
      </gv:GridView.itemTemplate>
    </gv:GridView>
  </GridLayout>
</Page>

// test-page.ts
import { EventData, Observable } from "data/observable";
import { ObservableArray } from "data/observable-array";
import { Page } from "ui/page";

import { GridItemEventData } from "nativescript-grid-view";

let viewModel: Observable;

export function pageLoaded(args: EventData) {
    const page = args.object as Page;
    const items = new ObservableArray();

    for (let loop = 0; loop < 200; loop++) {
        items.push({ value: "test " + loop.toString() });
    }
    viewModel = new Observable();
    viewModel.set("items", items);

    page.bindingContext = viewModel;
}

export function gridViewItemTap(args: GridItemEventData) {
    console.log("tap index " + args.index.toString());
}

export function gridViewItemLoading(args: GridItemEventData) {
    console.log("item loading " + args.index.toString());
}

export function gridViewLoadMoreItems(args: EventData) {
    console.log("load more items");
}

You can also have multiple templates the same way you add them in the builtin ListView control:

<gv:GridView id="gv" row="0" class="{{ cssClass }}" items="{{ items }}" 
                colWidth="{{ colWidth }}" rowHeight="{{ rowHeight }}" itemTemplateSelector="templateSelector"
                itemTap="gridViewItemTap" itemLoading="gridViewItemLoading" loadMoreItems="gridViewLoadMoreItems">
    <gv:GridView.itemTemplates>
        <template key="odd">
            <GridLayout backgroundColor="#33ffff" style="margin: 10 10 0 0">
                <Label text="{{ value }}" verticalAlignment="center"/>
            </GridLayout>
        </template>

        <template key="even">
            <GridLayout backgroundColor="#33ffff" rows="auto, auto" style="margin: 10 10 0 0">
                <Label row="0" text="{{ value }}" verticalAlignment="center"/>
                <Label row="1" text="{{ value }}" verticalAlignment="center"/>
            </GridLayout>
        </template>
    </gv:GridView.itemTemplates>
</gv:GridView>

export function templateSelector(item: any, index: number, items: any) {
    return index % 2 === 0 ? "even" : "odd";
}

Usage in Angular

Import GridViewModule in your NgModule:

import { GridViewModule } from 'nativescript-grid-view/angular';

@NgModule({
    //......
    imports: [
        //......
        GridViewModule,
        //......
    ],
    //......
})

Example Usage

// app.module.ts
import { GridViewModule } from "nativescript-grid-view/angular";

@NgModule({
    bootstrap: [
        AppComponent
    ],
    imports: [
        NativeScriptModule,
        AppRoutingModule,
        GridViewModule,
    ],
    declarations: [
        AppComponent,
        ItemsComponent,
        ItemDetailComponent
    ],
    providers: [
        ItemService
    ],
    schemas: [
        NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA
    ]
})
export class AppModule { }

<!-- my.component.html -->
<GridLayout class="page">
  <GridView [items]="items" colWidth="30%" rowHeight="100">
    <ng-template let-item="item" let-odd="odd">
      <StackLayout margin="10" [nsRouterLink]="['/item', item.id]" borderColor="blue" borderWidth="2" borderRadius="5" verticalAlignment="stretch" class="list-group-item" [class.odd]="odd">
        <Label verticalAlignment="center" [text]="item.name" class="list-group-item-text" textWrap="true"></Label>
      </StackLayout>
    </ng-template>
  </GridView>
</GridLayout>

If you want to use multiple item templates, you can do that very similarly to how you do it for the builtin ListView control.

<GridView row="1" [items]="items" colWidth="33%" rowHeight="100" [itemTemplateSelector]="templateSelector">
    <ng-template nsTemplateKey="Defender" let-item="item" let-odd="odd">
        <StackLayout [nsRouterLink]="['/item', item.id]" borderColor="blue" borderWidth="2" borderRadius="5" verticalAlignment="stretch" class="list-group-item" [class.odd]="odd">
        <Label verticalAlignment="center" [text]="item.name" class="list-group-item-text" textWrap="true"></Label>
        </StackLayout>
    </ng-template>

    <ng-template nsTemplateKey="Goalkeeper" let-item="item" let-odd="odd">
        <StackLayout [nsRouterLink]="['/item', item.id]" borderColor="black" borderWidth="2" borderRadius="5" verticalAlignment="stretch" class="list-group-item" [class.odd]="odd">
        <Label verticalAlignment="center" [text]="item.name" class="list-group-item-text" textWrap="true"></Label>
        </StackLayout>
    </ng-template>

    <ng-template nsTemplateKey="Midfielder" let-item="item" let-odd="odd">
        <StackLayout [nsRouterLink]="['/item', item.id]" borderColor="yellow" borderWidth="2" borderRadius="5" verticalAlignment="stretch" class="list-group-item" [class.odd]="odd">
        <Label verticalAlignment="center" [text]="item.name" class="list-group-item-text" textWrap="true"></Label>
        </StackLayout>
    </ng-template>

    <ng-template nsTemplateKey="Forward" let-item="item" let-odd="odd">
        <StackLayout [nsRouterLink]="['/item', item.id]" borderColor="red" borderWidth="2" borderRadius="5" verticalAlignment="stretch" class="list-group-item" [class.odd]="odd">
        <Label verticalAlignment="center" [text]="item.name" class="list-group-item-text" textWrap="true"></Label>
        </StackLayout>
    </ng-template>
</GridView>

Demos

This repository includes both Angular and plain NativeScript demos. In order to run those execute the following in your shell:

$ git clone https://github.com/peterstaev/nativescript-grid-view
$ cd nativescript-grid-view
$ npm install
$ npm run demo-ios

This will run the plain NativeScript demo project on iOS. If you want to run it on Android simply use the -android instead of the -ios sufix.

If you want to run the Angular demo simply use the demo-ng- prefix instead of demo-.
