How to use responsive twitter bootstrap & masonry together

27 September 2012

Getting twitter bootstrap’s responsive layout and masonry to play alongside each other is pretty simple. Assuming you are not using the fluid container (container-fluid) here’s the code:

Javascript:

$(document).ready(function () {

        $("#posts").masonry({
            itemSelector: '.post',
            isAnimated: true,
            columnWidth: function( containerWidth ) {

                // do nothing for browsers with no media query support
                // .container will always be 940px
                if($(".container").width() == 940) {
                    return 240;
                }

                var width = $(window).width();
                var col = 300;

                if(width < 1200 && width >= 980) {
                    col = 240;
                }
                else if(width < 980 && width >= 768) {
                    col = 186;
                }

                return col;
            }
        });
});
