ngx-drag-drop

This project is currently under development!

NgxDragDrop

Port of angular-drag-drop-lists but without the lists :wink:

This has dropzones though :+1: The idea is that the directive does not handle lists internally so the dndDropzone can be general purpose.

For touch support please use this polyfill.

Usage

npm install ngx-drag-drop

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

import { DndModule, DndDropEvent } from 'ngx-drag-drop';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    
    DndModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { 
  
  draggable = {
    // note that data is handled with JSON.stringify/JSON.parse
    // only set simple data or POJO's as methods will be lost 
    data: "myDragData",
    effectAllowed: "all",
    disable: false,
    handle: false
  };
  
  onDragStart(event:DragEvent) {

    console.log("drag started", JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
  }
  
  onDragEnd(event:DragEvent) {
    
    console.log("drag ended", JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
  }
  
  onDraggableCopied(event:DragEvent) {
    
    console.log("draggable copied", JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
  }
  
  onDraggableLinked(event:DragEvent) {
      
    console.log("draggable linked", JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
  }
    
  onDraggableMoved(event:DragEvent) {
    
    console.log("draggable moved", JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
  }
      
  onDragCanceled(event:DragEvent) {
    
    console.log("drag cancelled", JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
  }
  
  onDragover(event:DragEvent) {
    
    console.log("dragover", JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
  }
  
  onDrop(event:DndDropEvent) {
  
    console.log("dropped", JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
  }
}

    // optionally pass a placeholder to indicate the drop position
    dndPlaceholder: Element | null;
    
    // set the class applied to the dropzone

    // emits on successful drop
    readonly dndDrop: EventEmitter<DndDropEvent>;
}

Why?

Native drag and drop API's 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.
