Quick intro and examples

Directives

ngx-dnd provides a base set of directives to enable drag-and-drop. By default all children of a ngxDroppable element may be dragged and dropped. Add the ngxDraggable to restrict drag-and-drop to the parent container.

<div class="ngx-dnd-container" ngxDroppable>
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable>Item 1</div>
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable>Item 2</div>
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable>Item 3</div>
</div>

Give multiple containers the same dropZone name to allow drag-and-drop between these containers.

<div class="ngx-dnd-container" ngxDroppable="example">
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable>Item 1a</div>
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable>Item 2a</div>
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable>Item 3a</div>
</div>
<div class="ngx-dnd-container" ngxDroppable="example">
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable>Item 1b</div>
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable>Item 2b</div>
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable>Item 3b</div>
</div>

ngxDraggable items can be restricted to specific containers:

<div class="ngx-dnd-container" ngxDroppable>
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable="['example-target']">Item 1a</div>
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable="['example-target']">Item 2a</div>
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable="['example-target']">Item 3a</div>
</div>
<div class="ngx-dnd-container" ngxDroppable="example-target">
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable>Item 1b</div>
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable>Item 2b</div>
  <div class="ngx-dnd-item" ngxDraggable>Item 3b</div>
</div>

Components

ngx-dnd provides a set of components that encapsulates the directives mentioned and adds capability for data driven structures.

<ngx-dnd-container
  [model]="orderableLists">
</ngx-dnd-container>

orderableLists = [
  [
    "Item 1a",
    "Item 2a",
    "Item 3a"
  ],
  [
    "Item 1b",
    "Item 2b",
    "Item 3b"
  ]
]

Including nested containers:

<ngx-dnd-container
  [model]="nestedLists">
</ngx-dnd-container>

nestedLists = [
  {
    "label": "Item 1",
    "children": []
  },
  {
    "label": "Item 2",
    "children": [
      {
        "label": "Item 2a",
        "children": []
      },
      {
        "label": "Item 2b",
        "children": []
      },
      {
        "label": "Item 2c",
        "children": []
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "label": "Item 3",
    "children": [
      {
        "label": "Item 3a",
        "children": []
      },
      {
        "label": "Item 3b",
        "children": []
      },
      {
        "label": "Item 3c",
        "children": []
      }
    ]
  }
]
