# mixitup.Mixer ## Overview The `mixitup.Mixer` class is used to hold discreet, user-configured instances of MixItUp on a provided container element. Mixer instances are returned whenever the `mixitup()` factory function is called, which expose a range of methods enabling API-based filtering, sorting, insertion, removal and more. ### Contents - [show()](#show) - [hide()](#hide) - [isMixing()](#isMixing) - [filter()](#filter) - [toggleOn()](#toggleOn) - [toggleOff()](#toggleOff) - [sort()](#sort) - [changeLayout()](#changeLayout) - [dataset()](#dataset) - [multimix()](#multimix) - [insert()](#insert) - [insertBefore()](#insertBefore) - [insertAfter()](#insertAfter) - [prepend()](#prepend) - [append()](#append) - [remove()](#remove) - [getConfig()](#getConfig) - [configure()](#configure) - [getState()](#getState) - [forceRefresh()](#forceRefresh) - [forceRender()](#forceRender) - [destroy()](#destroy)

The dataset API is designed for use in API-driven JavaScript applications, and can be used instead of DOM-based methods such as `.filter()`, `.sort()`, `.insert()`, etc. When used, insertion, removal, sorting and pagination can be achieved purely via changes to your data model, without the uglyness of having to interact with or query the DOM directly. | |Type | Name | Description |---|--- | --- | --- |Param |`Array.` | `dataset` | An array of objects, each one representing the underlying data model of a target to be rendered. |Param |`boolean` | `[animate]` | An optional boolean dictating whether the operation should animate, or occur syncronously with no animation. `true` by default. |Param |`function` | `[callback]` | An optional callback function to be invoked after the operation has completed. |Returns |`Promise.` | A promise resolving with the current state object. ###### Example 1: Rendering a dataset ```js var myDataset = [ {id: 1, ...}, {id: 2, ...}, {id: 3, ...} ]; mixer.dataset(myDataset) .then(function(state) { console.log(state.totalShow === 3); // true }); ``` ###### Example 2: Sorting a dataset ```js // Create a new dataset in reverse order var newDataset = myDataset.slice().reverse(); mixer.dataset(newDataset) .then(function(state) { console.log(state.activeDataset[0] === myDataset[2]); // true }); ``` ###### Example 3: Removing an item from the dataset ```js console.log(myDataset.length); // 3 // Create a new dataset with the last item removed. var newDataset = myDataset.slice().pop(); mixer.dataset(newDataset) .then(function(state) { console.log(state.totalShow === 2); // true }); ```

insert()

*Version added: 2.0.0* `.insert(newElements [, index] [, animate], [, callback])` Inserts one or more new target elements into the container at a specified index. To be indexed as targets, new elements must match the `selectors.target` selector (`'.mix'` by default). | |Type | Name | Description |---|--- | --- | --- |Param |`HTMLElement, Array., string` | `newElements` | A reference to a single element to insert, an array-like collection of elements, or an HTML string representing a single element. |Param |`number` | `index` | The index at which to insert the new element(s). `0` by default. |Param |`boolean` | `[animate]` | An optional boolean dictating whether the operation should animate, or occur syncronously with no animation. `true` by default. |Param |`function` | `[callback]` | An optional callback function to be invoked after the operation has completed. |Returns |`Promise.` | A promise resolving with the current state object. ###### Example 1: Inserting a single element via reference ```js console.log(mixer.getState().totalShow); // 0 // Create a new element var newElement = document.createElement('div'); newElement.classList.add('mix'); mixer.insert(newElement) .then(function(state) { console.log(state.totalShow === 1); // true }); ``` ###### Example 2: Inserting a single element via HTML string ```js console.log(mixer.getState().totalShow); // 1 // Create a new element via reference var newElementHtml = '
'; // Create and insert the new element at index 1 mixer.insert(newElementHtml, 1) .then(function(state) { console.log(state.totalShow === 2); // true console.log(state.show[1].outerHTML === newElementHtml); // true }); ``` ###### Example 3: Inserting multiple elements via reference ```js console.log(mixer.getState().totalShow); // 2 // Create an array of new elements to insert. var newElement1 = document.createElement('div'); var newElement2 = document.createElement('div'); newElement1.classList.add('mix'); newElement2.classList.add('mix'); var newElementsCollection = [newElement1, newElement2]; // Insert the new elements starting at index 1 mixer.insert(newElementsCollection, 1) .then(function(state) { console.log(state.totalShow === 4); // true console.log(state.show[1] === newElement1); // true console.log(state.show[2] === newElement2); // true }); ``` ###### Example 4: Inserting a jQuery collection object containing one or more elements ```js console.log(mixer.getState().totalShow); // 4 var $newElement = $('
'); // Insert the new elements starting at index 3 mixer.insert($newElement, 3) .then(function(state) { console.log(state.totalShow === 5); // true console.log(state.show[3] === $newElement[0]); // true }); ```

forceRefresh()

*Version added: 2.1.2* `.forceRefresh()` Forces the re-indexing all targets within the container. This should only be used if some other piece of code in your application has manipulated the contents of your container, which should be avoided.

Foo ... mixer.configure({ render: { target: (item) => `${item.title}` } }); mixer.forceRender(); console.log(container.innerHTML); // ... Foo ... ```

destroy()

*Version added: 2.0.0* `.destroy([cleanUp])` Removes mixitup functionality from the container, unbinds all control event handlers, and deletes the mixer instance from MixItUp's internal cache. This should be performed whenever a mixer's container is removed from the DOM, such as during a page change in a single page application, or React's `componentWillUnmount()`. | |Type | Name | Description |---|--- | --- | --- |Param |`boolean` | `[cleanUp]` | An optional boolean dictating whether or not to clean up any inline `display: none;` styling applied to hidden targets. |Returns |`void` | ###### Example: Destroying the mixer before removing its container element ```js mixer.destroy(); containerEl.parentElement.removeChild(containerEl); ```
