svg.draggy.js Version Downloads

A JavaScript library for dragging SVG things.

Usage

Include this library after including svg.js in your html document. Here you can see a demo.

To make an element draggable, just do:

var draw = new SVG('svg-container').size(400, 400);
var rect = draw.rect(100, 100);
 
rect.draggy();

Yes indeed, that's it! Now the rect is draggable. ✨

Events

There are four different events available you can llisten to: beforedrag, dragstart, dragmove and dragend. This is how you assign them:

The event object has some custom data added by this library:

  • event.detail.delta is an object containing:

    • x and y: The element coordinates.
    • movedX and movedY: The element total movement values (available only in dragmove event).
  • event.detail.event is an object containing the original event

dragstart

rect.on('dragstart', function(event) {
    // Do something
});

beforedrag

rect.on('beforedrag', function(event) {
    // Do something
});

dragmove

rect.on('dragmove', function(event) {
    // Do something
});

Constraint

The drag functionality can be limited within a given box. You can pass the the constraint values as an object:

rect.draggy({
    minX: 10,
    minY: 15,
    maxX: 200,
    maxY: 100
});

For more dynamic constraints a function can be passed as well:

rect.draggy(function(x, y) {
    return { x: x < 1000, y: y < 300 };
});

With this you can also easily achieve some snapping functionality:

var snapRange = 50;
rect.draggy(function (x, y, elem) {
    var res = {};
 
    res.x = x - (% snapRange);
    res.y = y - (% snapRange);
 
    return res;
});

Remove

The draggable functionality can be removed with the fixed() method:

rect.fixed();

Viewbox

This plugin is viewBox aware but there is only one thing that you need to keep in mind. If you work with a viewBox on the parent element you need to set the width and height attributes to have the same aspect ratio. So let's say you are using viewbox='0 0 150 100' you have to make sure the aspect ratio of width and height is the same:

var draw = SVG('paper').attr('viewBox', '0 0 150 100').size(600, 400);
