m_drag

m_drag

no dependancy, minimum but strong drag lib for both dom and virtual dom support

Install

• NodeJS:

npm install -S m_drag

• Browser:

• download dist/m_drag.js file into your folder

• included m_drag.js in your html, no dependancy

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/m_drag.js"></script>

Usage

use with DOM

// create any div, or exists...
var clip = document.createElement('div')
clip.style.cssText = "position:absolute; z-index:999; border:1px dotted red"
document.body.appendChild(clip)

var clipDrag = m_drag({});	// param can be empty or some options {...}

document.body.onmousedown = 
clipDrag(
	'clip',	// a name for the dragInstance
	function(e, data){ 	// when mouse move
		clip.style.left = data.ox + 'px'
		clip.style.top = data.oy + 'px'
		clip.style.width = -data.dx + 'px'
		clip.style.height = -data.dy + 'px'
	},
	function(e, data){	// when mouse up
		console.log('drag complete..')
	}	
)

This way you can do any thing using javascript, like boundary check, etc.

use with V-DOM(e.g. mithril)

m('div.draggable', 
	{onmousedown: 
		clipDrag(
			'clip2', 
			{ onmousedown:function(){ m.redraw.strategy('none') } }, // hook down event, prevent mithril auto-redraw system
			function(evt, data){  /*do some thing with mousemove...*/ },		// when move
			function(evt, data){  /*do some thing with mouseup...*/ }		// when up
		)
	}
)

API

m_drag([options]) => downHandler

create drag root factory, return a function that can be handler for mousedown etc.

options is js object, can be following key:

• revertOnFail: boolean(default true), when move event return false, m_drag will stop drag then, if this option is true, will revert to previous data
• touch: boolean(default auto detect), if false, will force using mouse event instead of touch event through the browser has touchmove event. useful in phantom etc.

{downHandler}( name, [userdata], moveFunc, upFunc )

the handler function returned from m_drag, which can be using as handler for onmousedown/touchstart or anything you want to trigger a drag

• name: string, save internally to back reference, this will allow you to get drag status at any time, make 2 drag interact etc.
• userdata: object, that can pass in customer key&val, can accessable using data.user in moveFunc and upFunc function
• moveFunc: function, with 3 parameters( evt, data, root )
  • evt is mousemove/touchmove event object
  • data is object, as below

  {
  	ox: number	// mouse position (pageX) when dragstart (e.g. mousedown)
  	oy: number	// mouse position (pageY) when dragstart (e.g. mousedown)
  	dx: number	// mouse position difference with ox when move occur (e.g. mousemove)
  	dy: number	// mouse position difference with oy when move occur (e.g. mousemove)
  	pageX: number	// pageX from the event
  	pageY: number	// pageY from the event
  	user: object	// user data passed with param `userdata`, see above; if omit, this will be {}
  }
  

• upFunc: function, parameters same as moveFunc

{downHandler}.destroy()

destroy the drag instance, and remove all event listener

Tests

Using ptest to test with phantomjs, run pre-recorded action, make snapshot, and then compare with right snapshot image.

If the two image is same, test passed, else test failed.

ptest is another lib that still WIP, will open source at some later time.
