+### Events
+
+Muuri exposes many [events](https://github.com/haltu/muuri#grid-events) that you can subscribe to. You can get the `Grid` object as follows:
+
+`app.component.html`
+
+```HTML
+<div muuriGrid (gridCreated)="onGridCreated($event)"></div>
+```
+
+`app.component.ts`
+
+```TypeScript
+import Grid from 'muuri';
+
+onGridCreated(grid: Grid) {
+  /**
+   * Now you can do everything you want with the Grid object,
+   * like subcribing to Muuri's events
+   */
+  grid.on('add', function (items) {
+    console.log(items);
