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
