哇，瀑布流，是的，不错，不错，真的不错，很好玩的样子，于是自己想玩玩啊，来吧，就玩起。
循序渐进，我这里采用原生的js代码来书写。为了方便大家运行代码，我就全部样式和CSS都写在html里面了，当然还需要图片，我会打包。
来上代码。

分析：
1. 核心就是waterfall方法，计算当前容器的offsetWith，和定义好的单位元素的宽度以及定义的margin来计算列数，再通过当前索引
2. minColumnIndex来计算当前高度最小的列，然后取改列已经存有的高度作为top的值，用 index * 单位元素的宽度 + margin作为 left的值
3.头部定义媒体查询，做到初始化的时候，自动调整，当然，在resize的时候可以动态重新计算，我这里没有这么做
4. 设置了几个 1300,100， 900， 600几个值，用来点击测试。
