ADF 12.2.1.1 New Feature - Masonry Layout Custom Size Dashboard

ADF 12.2.1.1 and 12.2.1.2 respectively comes with improvement for Masonry Layout component. Now we can define custom sizes for tiles - 9.4.1 How to Use a masonryLayout Component. This helps to define larger tiles and organize dashboard layout in more accurate way.

I have uploaded working demo app on GitHub, you can download it directly from repository or browse through the code - ADFAltaApp. I will be using this app for ADF Bindings webinar - Live Webinar - Master Class - ADF Bindings Explained.

To access Masonry Layout dashboard with custom tile sizes, go to Employees section and open Profile tab. You should see such dashboard layout (one tile 2x4, one tile 4x2 and two tiles 2x2). All four tiles are defined with custom size:


Masonry Layout is responsive out of the box. On narrow screen tiles will be re-arranged automatically:


Custom tiles for Masonry Layout are defined through CSS. You should create custom style class and set it for Masonry Layout component. I have define custom style class - RedSamuraiDashboard:


Each tile group with custom size must be defined in CSS separately. Width and hight should be proportional. If you define 250px for size 2, this means size for 4 must be 500px:


Masonry Layout tiles are assigned with style class which defines size:


You could have ADF region inside tile, it renders perfectly well:
