jQuery UI  is a web-based technology and consists of GUI widgets, visual effects, and themes implemented using the jQuery, JavaScript Library. jQuery UI is the best tool for building UI interfaces for the webpages. It can also be used to build highly interactive web applications or can be used to add widgets easily.

In this article, we will learn how to use the jQuery UI Sortable grid Option. Using this option, we can snap the sorting element or helper to a grid, every x, and y pixels. The default value of this option is false.

Syntax:

The grid option takes an array value and the syntax is as follows.

$( ".selector" ).sortable({
    grid: [ 20, 10 ]
});

Get the grid option

var grid = $( ".selector" ).sortable( "option", "grid" );

Set the grid option

$( ".selector" ).sortable( "option", "grid", [ 20, 10 ] );
