Packery is a JavaScript library and jQuery plugin that creates gapless, draggable grid layouts using a bin-packing algorithm. It fills empty gaps in layouts and supports draggable items, making it suitable for dashboards and masonry-style galleries.

Use cases

• build a draggable dashboard grid
• create a gapless masonry image gallery
• fill gaps in a grid layout with bin-packing
• let users drag and rearrange grid items
• stamp elements in place within a layout
• fit items into specific spots in a grid

When to choose

• you need gapless packing of variable-size items in the browser
• you want draggable grid items with a mature, battle-tested library
• you want a jQuery plugin or vanilla JS layout library

When to avoid

• you need a modern framework-native layout solution (e.g., React/Vue components)
• you need CSS-only grid layouts without drag support
• you need active feature development - the project is in maintenance mode
