# RubaXa:Sortable Meteor demo |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This demo showcases the two-way integration between the reorderable list |
||||||
|
widget [Sortable](https://github.com/RubaXa/Sortable/) and Meteor.js. Meteor |
||||||
|
Mongo collections are updated when items are added, removed or reordered, and |
||||||
|
the order is persisted. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It also shows list grouping and control over what lists can give or receive |
||||||
|
elements. You can only drag elements from the list to the left onto the list |
||||||
|
to the right. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Usage |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The example uses the local package from the checkout, so it needs to wire |
||||||
|
up some files (`package.js` and `package.json`). This is done by the handy |
||||||
|
run script: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Windows |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
git clone git@github.com:RubaXa/Sortable.git |
||||||
|
cd Sortable |
||||||
|
git checkout dev |
||||||
|
cd meteor\example |
||||||
|
run.bat |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Elsewhere |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
git clone git@github.com:RubaXa/Sortable.git |
||||||
|
cd Sortable |
||||||
|
git checkout dev |
||||||
|
meteor/example./run.sh |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

### Differential |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Differential wrote [a blog post on reorderable lists with |
||||||
|
Meteor](differential.com/blog/sortable-lists-in-meteor-using-jquery-ui) and |
||||||
|
[jQuery UI Sortable](http://jqueryui.com/sortable/). It served as inspiration |
||||||
|
for integrating [rubaxa:sortable](rubaxa.github.io/Sortable/), |
||||||
|
which uses the HTML5 native drag&drop API (not without [its |
||||||
|
limitations](https://github.com/RubaXa/Sortable/issues/106)). |
||||||
|
The reordering method used by the Differential example can lead to data loss |
||||||
|
though, because it calculates the new order of a dropped element as the |
||||||
|
arithmetic mean of the elements before and after it. This [runs into limitations |
||||||
|
of floating point precision](http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/266451/maintain-ordered-collection-by-updating-as-few-order-fields-as-possible) |
||||||
|
in JavaScript after <50 reorderings. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Todos animated |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
http://todos-dnd-animated.meteor.com/ ([source](https://github.com/nleush/meteor-todos-sortable-animation)) |
||||||
|
is based on old Meteor Blaze (back then Spark) API, and won't work with current versions. |
||||||
|
It does showcase some neat features, such as animation when collection elements |
||||||
|
are reordered by another client. It uses jQuery UI Sortable as well, which lacks |
||||||
|
some features vs. rubaxa:Sortable, e.g. text selection within the item. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## TODO |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Animation |
||||||
|
* Indication that an item is being edited |
