I was always thinking about how I can make the forms in K2 even nicer, than they are. And what if we can add a context video to certain standard applications? I will show you how you can easily achieve that.
I have been a fan of ReactJs for some time so far. I like the idea, that, as well as in K2, you can also create reusable components, even though the framework allows more customizations. K2 cannot be used to build single page applications, but nobody said it is not allowed to use ReactJs to create nice UI or layouts. In this post I will show you, how you can use ReactJs to build a masonry layout for images, stored in a SmartObject.

The code consists of 2 blocks, which need to be placed on the form. Please, refer to the following article on How to add JavaScript on Smartforms, if you have any question. The current approached was tested by me on K2 Cloud and it works.
Recently I had an internal discussion within my team, that K2 Smartforms has a limited number of icons, that a user can use with the out-of-the-box controls, like buttons or data labels. We all agreed, that we need more. However, even if we have 1000 icons to be used with buttons, some other customers will always require more or something totally different.
