switch widget

[lorenzopub]

hi troolee,

currently i'm using gridstack to build a dashboard. i will be interested to have an optional drag&drop functionnality for the entire grid to be able to switch 2 widgets , each one taking the size and positionning of the other one like this :

initial state of the grid :
[1] [2] [..3..] [4]
[...5..] [6] [..7..]

i would like to switch [..3..] and [6]

as a result of the drag and drop 👍

[1] [2] [..6..] [4]
[...5..] [3] [..7..]

cheers
lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo, I think I can do this.

[lorenzopub]

great !

I cannot promise it will be done right now, but it in 0.2.4 it will.

Right now I'm improving performance and stability of the library.

no problem.

i'm thinking that with this optional functionnality for the drag & drop, the behavior of the widget resizing should be also a little bit different.

the resizing of a widget should alterate the size of the widget close to it instead of moving it accordingly.

initial state of the grid :
[1] [2] [..3..] [4]
[...5..] [6] [..7..]

if i you would like to reduce widget [3] on the left & on the right,
grid should be in that state :
[1] [2..] [3] [..4]
[...5..] [6] [..7..]

+1 Switching positions would be a great feature (especially when the widgets are of different size and placed apart)
