Sortable plugin for Aurelia powered by Oribella

Installation

Install via JSPM

jspm install npm:oribella-aurelia-sortable

or NPM

npm install oribella-aurelia-sortable

Load the plugin

export function configure(aurelia) {
  aurelia.use
    .standardConfiguration()
    .developmentLogging()
    .plugin("oribella-aurelia-sortable");

  aurelia.start().then(a => a.setRoot());
}

Use the plugin

sortable, sortable-item will be available as global custom attributes.

To get started you need to bind the sortable, sortable-item attributes in conjunction with the repeat attribute.

<div sortable="items.bind: images">
  <div repeat.for="image of images" sortable-item="item.bind image"></div>
</div>

This will enable the plugin to keep track of and move around the items.

However you might want to add a class to the element that is currently moved around. Add a binding:

<!-- Other bindings omitted -->
<div sortable="sorting-class.bind: 'some-fancy-placeholder'">
</div>

Default sortingClass='oa-sorting'

It could then be used in the sortable-item like this:

<!-- Other bindings omitted -->
<div sortable-item="item.bind: image" class="${image.sortingClass}">
</div>

If you have variable dimensions on the sortable-item you can add a binding so the placeholder gets the same size as the dragging element by:

<!-- Other bindings omitted -->
<div sortable-item="css.bind: item.style;">
</div>

If the sortable custom attribute is in an area that is scrollable you have to bind either a selector or an Element or document:

<!-- Other bindings omitted -->
<div sortable="scroll.bind: '.page-host'">
</div>

Default scroll=sortable

so it can auto scroll when needed. If you want you may even do a manual scroll when it's auto scrolling or combine them by first auto scrolling then manual scrolling and it should still behave as intended. If you are not happy with the sensitivity or scroll speed for the auto scroll you can set it with below bindings:

<!-- Other bindings omitted -->
<div sortable="scroll-sensitivity.bind: 20; scroll-speed.bind: 20">
</div>

Default scrollSpeed=10 - how many pixels it will scroll for each frame

Default scrollSensitivity=10 - how many pixels from the scroll bounding threshold until it starts auto scrolling.

If you have a vertical or horizontal list you can lock the sortable axis movement with:

<!-- Other bindings omitted -->
<!-- Lock to horizontal movement -->
<div sortable="axis: 'x'">
</div>
<!-- Lock to vertical movement -->
<div sortable="axis: 'y'">
</div>

Default axis='' - sets the allowed axis movement.

To make sure that the dragging of a sortable item always is on top of other elements make sure to bind:

<!-- Other bindings omitted -->
<div sortable="drag-z-index.bind: 120">
</div>

Default dragZIndex=1 - z-index of the dragging sortable item.

To be able to have a sortable where you might be editing the sortable items you can control this by:

<!-- Other bindings omitted -->
<div sortable="disallowed-drag-tag-names.bind: 'DIV'">
</div>

Default disallowedDragTagNames=['INPUT', 'SELECT', 'TEXTAREA'] - element tags that disallows start dragging.

If that is insufficient:

<!-- Other bindings omitted -->
<div sortable="allow-drag.call: allowDrag($event);">
</div>

Default allowDrag

@bindable allowDrag = args => {
  if(this.disallowedDragTagNames.indexOf(args.event.target.tagName) !== -1) {
    return false;
  }
  if(args.event.target.isContentEditable) {
    return false;
  }
  return true;
};

where $event has event and item properties.

event - the native DOM event

item - the sortable-item view-model

Control whether a sortable item is allowed to move:

<!-- Other bindings omitted -->
<div sortable="allow-move.call: allowMove($event);">
</div>

Default allowMove

@bindable allowMove = () => { return true; };

where $event has an item property.

item - the sortable-item view-model

If you need it you can also bind moved which will be called after an item has been sorted

<!-- Other bindings omitted -->
<div sortable="moved.call: moved($event);">
</div>

where $event has fromIx and toIx properties.

fromIx - the from index in the sortable

toIx - the to index in the sortable
