## What it is
Bricks.js is a fast, dependency-free JavaScript library that generates masonry layouts for fixed-width elements in the browser. It positions grid items responsively across configurable breakpoints and exposes a small API with resize handling and events.

## Use cases
- create a masonry image gallery layout
- lay out fixed-width cards in a pinterest-style grid
- reposition grid items responsively on window resize
- handle dynamically added grid items in a masonry layout
- replace heavier masonry libraries with a minimal fast option

## When to avoid
- you need variable-width or CSS-grid-based layouts
- you need a maintained project with active releases
- you need a full CSS framework or React components

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: frontend, web-development, web-design
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: masonry, layout, grid, packing, javascript, nodejs
