What is @4tw/cypress-drag-drop?

@4tw/cypress-drag-drop is a Cypress plugin that allows you to easily simulate drag-and-drop interactions in your end-to-end tests. This can be particularly useful for testing applications with complex UI interactions that involve dragging and dropping elements.

What are @4tw/cypress-drag-drop's main functionalities?

Basic Drag and Drop

This feature allows you to drag an element with the ID 'drag-element' and drop it onto an element with the ID 'drop-target'.

cy.get('#drag-element').drag('#drop-target');

Drag and Drop with Offset

This feature allows you to drag an element with the ID 'drag-element' and drop it onto an element with the ID 'drop-target' with specific offsets for the X and Y coordinates.

cy.get('#drag-element').drag('#drop-target', { offsetX: 10, offsetY: 20 });

Drag and Drop with Force

This feature allows you to force the drag-and-drop action even if the element is not visible or interactable.

cy.get('#drag-element').drag('#drop-target', { force: true });

README

cypress-drag-drop

A cypress child command for drag'n'drop support.

Setup

Install using npm:

npm install --save-dev @4tw/cypress-drag-drop

or yarn

yarn add --dev @4tw/cypress-drag-drop

Before Cypress is loaded (usually in your commands.js) put the following line:

require('@4tw/cypress-drag-drop')

Or, if you are using ES module syntax:

import '@4tw/cypress-drag-drop'

This will register the drag command.

If you're using TypeScript, the following configuration in a tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": ["cypress", "@4tw/cypress-drag-drop"]
  }
}

Usage

drag

The drag command is a child command. The command only accepts elements. As the drop target simply pass a selector as string.

In your cypress spec use the command as follows:

describe('Dragtest', () => {
  it('should dragndrop', () => {
    cy.visit('/yourpage')

    cy.get('.sourceitem').drag('.targetitem')
  })
})

The command also accepts all the common options.

describe('Dragtest', () => {
  it('should dragndrop', () => {
    cy.visit('/yourpage')

    cy.get('.sourceitem').drag('.targetitem', options)
  })
})

move

The move command is a child command. The command only accepts elements. Define x and y as an object parameter to move the element in x- and y-position relative to the elements current position.

In your cypress spec use the command as follows:

describe('Dragtest', () => {
  it('should dragndrop', () => {
    cy.visit('/yourpage')

    cy.get('.sourceitem').move({ x: 100, y: 100 })
  })
})

The command also accepts all the common options.

describe('Dragtest', () => {
  it('should dragndrop', () => {
    cy.visit('/yourpage')

    cy.get('.sourceitem').move({ x: 100, y: 100, ...options })
  })
})

Options

position

Decide at which position the element should be grabbed, moved and dropped.

Possible values are topLeft, top, topRight, left, center, right, bottomLeft, bottom, and bottomRight.

The default position is top.

See https://docs.cypress.io/api/commands/trigger.html#Arguments for more information.

force

Force the drag'n'drop interaction. Meaning that the grabbing, moving and dropping is forced. See https://docs.cypress.io/guides/core-concepts/interacting-with-elements.html#Forcing for more information.

other options

You can also use other options defined by default by Cypress, like: ctrlKey, log, timeout...

See https://docs.cypress.io/api/commands/click.html#Arguments for more information.

Development

The plugin itself is implemented in the index.js file.

Testing

The tests can be run using cypress:

yarn test

The test fixtures are under src/examples/. Using the setExample cypress command the fixture is loaded and ready to run tests on. The first attribute in the setExample command is the name of the fixture which needs to be the filename of the component.

cy.setExample('NameOfTheComponent')

Release

Release a new version of this package:
