NgxDragDrop

Demo / StackBlitz Issue Template

npm install ngx-drag-drop --save

Angular directives for declarative drag and drop using the HTML5 Drag-And-Drop API

  • sortable lists by using placeholder element (vertical and horizontal)
  • nestable
  • dropzones optionally support external/native draggables (img, txt, file)
  • conditional drag/drop
  • typed drag/drop
  • utilize EffectAllowed
  • custom CSS classes
  • touch support by using a polyfill
  • AOT compatible

Port of angular-drag-drop-lists but without the lists 😉

This has dropzones though 👍 The idea is that the directive does not handle lists internally so the dndDropzone can be general purpose.

Usage

app.component.html

<!--a draggable element-->
<div [dndDraggable]="draggable.data"
     [dndEffectAllowed]="draggable.effectAllowed"
     [dndDisableIf]="draggable.disable"
     (dndStart)="onDragStart($event)"
     (dndCopied)="onDraggableCopied($event)"
     (dndLinked)="onDraggableLinked($event)"
     (dndMoved)="onDraggableMoved($event)"
     (dndCanceled)="onDragCanceled($event)"
     (dndEnd)="onDragEnd($event)">
      
    <!--if [dndHandle] is used inside dndDraggable drag can only start from the handle-->
    <div *ngIf="draggable.handle"
         dndHandle>HANDLE
    </div>
    
    draggable ({{draggable.effectAllowed}}) <span [hidden]="!draggable.disable">DISABLED</span>
    
    <!--optionally select a child element as drag image-->
    <div dndDragImageRef>DRAG_IMAGE</div>
    
</div>

<!--a dropzone-->
<!--to allow dropping content that is not [dndDraggable] set dndAllowExternal to true-->
<section dndDropzone
         (dndDragover)="onDragover($event)"
         (dndDrop)="onDrop($event)">
      
    dropzone 
    
    <!--optional placeholder element for dropzone-->
    <!--will be removed from DOM on init-->
    <div style="border: 1px orangered solid; border-radius: 5px; padding: 15px;"
         dndPlaceholderRef>
        placeholder
    </div>

</section>

Touch support

Install the mobile-drag-drop module available on npm.

Add the following lines to your js code

import { polyfill } from 'mobile-drag-drop';
// optional import of scroll behaviour
import { scrollBehaviourDragImageTranslateOverride } from "mobile-drag-drop/scroll-behaviour";

polyfill( {
  // use this to make use of the scroll behaviour
  dragImageTranslateOverride: scrollBehaviourDragImageTranslateOverride
} );

// workaround to make scroll prevent work in iOS Safari > 10
try {
  window.addEventListener( "touchmove", function() { }, { passive: false } );
}
catch(e){}

For more info on the polyfill check it out on GitHub https://github.com/timruffles/mobile-drag-drop

Known issues

Firefox

Why?

HTML Drag-And-Drop API implementations are not behaving the same way across browsers.

The directives contained in this module enable declarative drag and drop that "just works" across browsers in a consistent way.
