项目要实现瀑布流布局，本想用css实现的，无奈css根本无法满足需求，无论是flex布局还是grid布局，还有最终的column-count，都满足不了，瀑布流的特点是同宽不同高，项目要求最新的数据在前面，每列颜色相同，列数可变化，还有分页加载数据，折腾了一番css后，决定还是选择js来实现，先来看看效果图：

写成了vue3的composable组合式函数,代码如下：

小编已经将组件发布到npmjs库，也可以直接安装使用：

npm i usewaterfalllayout --save-dev

/**
 * @method useWaterFallLayout - 瀑布流布局组件
 * @param {Ref<HTMLElement | null>} containerRef -容器元素的 Ref
 * @param { string } itemSelector -要处理的子元素 选择器
 * @returns {Object} -初始化属性与方法
 * {
    init,               function - 初始化瀑布流布局
    column,             number - 瀑布流列数
    rowSpacing,         number - 瀑布流行间距
    columnSpacing,      number - 瀑布流列间距
    oddColumnBgColor,   string - 奇数列背景色
    evenColumnBgColor,  string - 偶数列背景色
    getItems            function - 获取瀑布流布局子元素
 * }
 *
 * @example:
 <template>
    <div
        ref="containerRef"
        class="w-100%"
    >
        <div
            class="item-selector"
            v-for="(item, index) in data"
            :key="item.id"
        >{{index}}</div>
    </div>
 </template>
 <script lang="ts" setup>
    const containerRef = ref<HTMLElement | null>(null)
    const { init, column, rowSpacing } = useWaterFallLayout(containerRef, '.item-selector')

    //指定列数
    column.value = 3

    //指定行距
    rowSpacing.value = 2

    //数据加载
    const data = ref([])
    const loading = ref(false)

    const getList = ()=>{
        loading.value = true
        getData().then((res)=>{
            const list = res?.list || []
            data.value.push(...list)
            init()
            loading.value = false
        }).catch((err)=>{
            loading.value = false
        })
