jQuery masonry layout complete event not working

Question

I have followed the documentation exactly and the layout complete event isn't working. Example can be seen here:

http://jsfiddle.net/9464buy5/

<div id="items">
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
    <div class="item"></div>
</div>

#items {
    width: 500px;
}
.item { 
    background: #ff0000;
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    margin-bottom:20px;
}

$(document).ready(function() {
    var $container = $('#items');
    $container.masonry({
        itemSelector: '.item',
        columnWidth: 220,
        gutter: 20
    });

    $container.masonry('on', 'layoutComplete', function(msnryInstance, laidOutItems) {
        alert("");
    });
});

Anyone know if this a known bug or have I done something wrong?

Answer 1

Ah I've sorted it using the non jquery method. You have to call the following function after initialisation to trigger the event:

msnry.layout();

e.g

var container = document.querySelector('.masonry');
var msnry = new Masonry( container, {
    itemSelector: '.item',
    columnWidth: 220,
    gutter: 20
});

msnry.on( 'layoutComplete', function( msnryInstance, laidOutItems ) {
    alert("");
});

msnry.layout();
