Drag and Drop Grid Custom View (@zsarnett)

A testing ground and usable version of the Drag and Drop Grid that is being developed for Home Assistant Core Frontend.

Consider Subscribing to my YouTube Channel for updates on the Grid View: https://www.youtube.com/c/ZackBarett

Installation

⚠️ The 2020.12 Release is recommended. Extra code for this was added to this release to make Drag and Drop better!

Installation with hacs

1. Make sure the HACS component is installed and working.

2. Add https://github.com/zsarnett/Custom-Grid-View as a custom repository

3. Add the configuration to your ui-lovelace.yaml

   resources:
     - url: /hacsfiles/Custom-Grid-View/grid-view.js
       type: module

4. Refresh home-assistant.

Manual Installation

1. Download the grid-view.js file Custom Drag and Drop Grid View

2. Place the file in your config/www folder

3. Add a resource to your Lovelace Dashboard

   title: Home
   resources:
     - url: /local/grid-view.js
       type: module

How to use

To change the view to use Drag and Drop Grid, update the Lovelace YAML for that view and add

type: custom:grid-dnd

Example

path: default_view
type: 'custom:grid-dnd'
title: Home
cards: []

⚠️ I recommend copying your view and modifying the copy instead of modifying your existing dashboard

⚠️ Users using YAML mode only will not have a good time :)

Notes

• This is not the finished version

• This version is not the best version

• This view is bound to change and have breaking changes

• This will add a large amount of YAML to your view. layout: {}

• This will add a key to every card.

• Again its not perfect and I will try to update this version as I find better ways.

• I have built the everything that this code is using. ie. Lit-Grid-Layout

  • This means I have complete control over the changes which is good
  • This also means it may not be the best yet. I am still learning even after 2 years of working with Home Assistant. I will try to perfect the code as you all and myself test this view

** PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH ME ON THIS 😄 **

Add any bugs that you find as issues in this repo.
