Get Started

Download

1. Download this git repo as zip or tar.gz file.
2. NPM npm install flexbin
3. Bower (TODO)

Import

Use flexbin.css in your HTML:

<link href="path/to/flexbin.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" />

or import flexbin.scss in your SaSS project:

@import "path/to/flexbin.scss";

Markup

HTML markup is very simple:

<div class="flexbin">
    <a href="product/1.html">
        <img src="images/1.jpg" />
    </a>
    <a href="product/2.html">
        <img src="images/2.jpg" />
    </a>
    <a href="product/3.html">
        <img src="images/3.jpg" />
    </a>
    ...
</div>

If you want extra space surround Flexbin gallery, use "flexbin-margin" class:

<div class="flexbin flexbin-margin">
    <a href="product/1.html">
        <img src="images/1.jpg" />
    </a>
    <a href="product/2.html">
        <img src="images/2.jpg" />
    </a>
    <a href="product/3.html">
        <img src="images/3.jpg" />
    </a>
    ...
</div>
