Usage
=====

This guide contains Javascript usage, see :ref:`Markup Guide` and :ref:`Themes` for Html and CSS usage.

In html file there are two nested div elements with class name *.rs-container* and *.rs-pt3d* which serve as the base container.

.. code-block:: html
   :linenos:

    <div class="rs-container">
      <div class="rs-pt3d">
      ...
      </div>
    </div>

To bootstrap the app in javascript, query *.rs-pt3d* element and pass it as an input argument to PhotoWheel constructor:

.. code-block:: javascript
 :linenos:

  var el = document.querySelector('.rs-pt3d');
  var pt3d = new PhotoTile(el);

A second object argument filled with :ref:`configuration options<Configurations>` can be passed to the constructor:

.. code-block:: javascript
 :linenos:

  var pt3d = new PhotoTile(el, {
    columns:25,
    rows:4,
    doubleItemCount:8,
    flipItemCount:10,
    categoryMenu:{
      horizontal:true
    }
  });

    console.log(e.detail);
  });

  // Trigger when a category finished loading

    console.log(e.detail);
  });
