mixitup

mixitup.Mixer

Overview

The mixitup.Mixer class is used to hold discreet, user-configured instances of MixItUp on a provided container element.

Mixer instances are returned whenever the mixitup() factory function is called, which expose a range of methods enabling API-based filtering, sorting, insertion, removal and more.

    });

changeLayout()

Version added: 2.0.0

.changeLayout(containerClassName [, animate] [, callback])

     });

dataset()

Version added: 3.0.0

.dataset(dataset [, animate] [, callback])

Updates the contents and order of the container to reflect the provided dataset, if the dataset API is in use.

The dataset API is designed for use in API-driven JavaScript applications, and can be used instead of DOM-based methods such as .filter(), .sort(), .insert(), etc. When used, insertion, removal, sorting and pagination can be achieved purely via changes to your data model, without the uglyness of having to interact with or query the DOM directly.

	Type	Name	Description
Param	`Array.<object>`	`dataset`	An array of objects, each one representing the underlying data model of a target to be rendered.
Param	`boolean`	`[animate]`	An optional boolean dictating whether the operation should animate, or occur syncronously with no animation. `true` by default.
Param	`function`	`[callback]`	An optional callback function to be invoked after the operation has completed.
Returns	`Promise.<mixitup.State>`	A promise resolving with the current state object.

Example 1: Rendering a dataset

var myDataset = [
    {id: 1, ...},
    {id: 2, ...},
    {id: 3, ...}
];

mixer.dataset(myDataset)
    .then(function(state) {
        console.log(state.totalShow === 3); // true

var newDataset = myDataset.slice().reverse();

mixer.dataset(newDataset)
    .then(function(state) {
        console.log(state.activeDataset[0] === myDataset[2]); // true
    });

Example 3: Removing an item from the dataset

console.log(myDataset.length); // 3

// Create a new dataset with the last item removed.

var newDataset = myDataset.slice().pop();

mixer.dataset(newDataset)
    .then(function(state) {
        console.log(state.totalShow === 2); // true
    });

        console.log(state.activeSort.attribute === 'published-date'); // true
    });

Example 2: Performing simultaneous sorting, insertion, and removal

console.log(mixer.getState().totalShow); // 6

// NB: When inserting via `multimix()`, an object should be provided as the value
// for the `insert` portion of the command, allowing for a collection of elements
// and an insertion index to be specified.

mixer.multimix({
    sort: 'published-date:desc', // Sort the container, including any new elements
    insert: {
        collection: [newElementReferenceA, newElementReferenceB], // Add 2 new elements at index 5
        index: 5
    },
    remove: existingElementReference // Remove 1 existing element
})
    .then(function(state) {
        console.log(state.activeSort.attribute === 'published-date'); // true

Returns	`void`

Example 1: Updating animation options

mixer.configure({
    animation: {
        effects: 'fade translateX(-100%)',
        duration: 300
    }
});

Example 2: Removing a callback after it has been set

    mixer.configure({
        callbacks: {
            onMixEnd: null

});

getState()

Version added: 2.0.0

.getState();

Returns an object containing information about the current state of the mixer. See the State Object documentation for more information.

NB: State objects are immutable and should therefore be regenerated after any operation.

	Type	Name	Description
Returns	`mixitup.State`	An object reflecting the current state of the mixer.

Example: Retrieving a state object

var state = mixer.getState();

console.log(state.totalShow + 'targets are currently shown');

forceRefresh()

Version added: 2.1.2

.forceRefresh()

Forces the re-indexing all targets within the container.

This should only be used if some other piece of code in your application has manipulated the contents of your container, which should be avoided.

If you need to add or remove target elements from the container, use the built-in .insert() or .remove() methods, and MixItUp will keep itself up to date.

	Type	Name	Description
Returns	`void`

Example: Force refreshing the mixer after external DOM manipulation

console.log(mixer.getState().totalShow); // 3

// An element is removed from the container via some external DOM manipulation code:

containerEl.removeChild(containerEl.firstElementChild);

// The mixer does not know that the number of targets has changed:

console.log(mixer.getState().totalShow); // 3

mixer.forceRefresh();

// After forceRefresh, the mixer is in sync again:

console.log(mixer.getState().totalShow); // 2

forceRender()

Version added: 3.2.1

.forceRender()

Forces the re-rendering of all targets when using the Dataset API.

By default, targets are only re-rendered when data.dirtyCheck is enabled, and an item’s data has changed when dataset() is called.

The forceRender() method allows for the re-rendering of all targets in response to some arbitrary event, such as the changing of the target render function.

Targets are rendered against their existing data.

	Type	Name	Description
Returns	`void`

Example: Force render targets after changing the target render function

console.log(container.innerHTML); // ... <span class="mix">Foo</span> ...

mixer.configure({
    render: {
        target: (item) => `<a href="/${item.slug}/" class="mix">${item.title}</a>`
    }
});

mixer.forceRender();

console.log(container.innerHTML); // ... <a href="/foo/" class="mix">Foo</a> ...

destroy()

Version added: 2.0.0

.destroy([cleanUp])

Removes mixitup functionality from the container, unbinds all control event handlers, and deletes the mixer instance from MixItUp’s internal cache.

This should be performed whenever a mixer’s container is removed from the DOM, such as during a page change in a single page application, or React’s componentWillUnmount().

	Type	Name	Description
Param	`boolean`	`[cleanUp]`	An optional boolean dictating whether or not to clean up any inline `display: none;` styling applied to hidden targets.
Returns	`void`

Example: Destroying the mixer before removing its container element

mixer.destroy();

containerEl.parentElement.removeChild(containerEl);
