PHP Widget布局网格

Question

I'm building a webapp which main purpose is displaying widgets on a display. These widgets have an variable size, so not every widget is even high or wide (But they are using standards like for example a grid system). Now I'm looking for the best way to save which widgets are used, and where they are placed. For example by using something like Gridstack the user can drag and place the widgets in an admin panel, but how should I save this? And how can I recall this and put in a empty Bootstrap page for example. Working with the Bootstrap Grid system would be great aswell.

I did some research on Google and here but didn't find any plugins or ways to do this.

I'm using 'Gridster' at the moment which this Gridstack is built off of/inspired by, so it probably won't be able to save for you.

You'll need to do that, either by sending it back via AJAX or storing in local storage. As it looks similar, you should be able to find a 'serialization' function which should wrap it up ready for you to send to your PHP via AJAX.

You may need to scan through the widgets and wrap them up in your own JSON string, such as the row/column/sizex/sizey which is all the grid system really needs to "add" a widget when its first loaded up, so as long as you can feed that back in you should be good to go.
