JavaScript Filtering | Examples

In this example:
A custom navigation menu will filter Ajax Load More between recent work and recent articles.

By utilizing Ajax Load More public and callback JavaScript functions you can create an intuitive filtering engine that adjusts shortcode parameters with the click of a button.

HTML

Filtering is achieved by passing updated shortcode parameters as data attributes to the $.fn.almFilter() function.

<li><a href="#" data-repeater="template_8" data-post-type="portfolio" data-posts-per-page="3" data-scroll="false" data-button-label="More Work">Recent Work</a></li>

<li><a href="#" data-repeater="default" data-post-type="posts" data-posts-per-page="5" data-scroll="true" data-button-label="More Articles">Recent Articles</a></li>

</ul>

Note: Shortcode parameters with underscores must be converted to dashes while using data attribute binding. e.g. post_type will be data-post-type.

JavaScript

$(function() {

var alm_is_animating = false; // Animating flag

$('.alm-filter-nav li').eq(0).addClass('active'); // Set initial active state

// Btn Click Event

$('.alm-filter-nav li a').on('click', function(e){

e.preventDefault();

var el = $(this); // Our selected element

if(!el.hasClass('active') && !alm_is_animating){ // Check for active and !alm_is_animating

alm_is_animating = true;

el.parent().addClass('active').siblings('li').removeClass('active'); // Add active state

var data = el.data(), // Get data values from selected menu item

transition = 'fade', // 'slide' | 'fade' | null

speed = '300'; //in milliseconds

$.fn.almFilter(transition, speed, data); // Run the filter

}

});

$.fn.almFilterComplete = function(){

alm_is_animating = false; // clear animating flag

};

})(jQuery);

The following shortcode was used to create the Filtering example.

[ajax_load_more repeater="template_8" post_type="portfolio" scroll="false" posts_per_page="3" button_label="Load More Work"]
