Pass in box sizes and get back sizes and coordinates for a justified layout

Flickr's Justified Layout

Pass in box sizes and get back sizes and coordinates for a nice justified layout like that seen all over Flickr. The explore page is a great example. Here's another example using the fullWidthBreakoutRowCadence option on Flickr's album page.

It converts this:

[0.5, 1.5, 1, 1.8, 0.4, 0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 1.7, 2, 2.1]

Into this:

{
    "containerHeight": 1269,
    "widowCount": 0,
    "boxes": [
        {
            "aspectRatio": 0.5,
            "top": 10,
            "width": 170,
            "height": 340,
            "left": 10
        },
        {
            "aspectRatio": 1.5,
            "top": 10,
            "width": 510,
            "height": 340,
            "left": 190
        },
        ...
    ]
}

Which gives you everything you need to make something like this:

Install

npm install justified-layout

Easy Usage

var layoutGeometry = require('justified-layout')([1.33, 1, 0.65] [, config])
