vuedraggable
Advanced tools
vuedraggable is a Vue.js component that allows you to create draggable and sortable lists with ease. It is based on the Sortable.js library and provides a simple way to implement drag-and-drop functionality in your Vue applications.
Basic Draggable List
This code sample demonstrates a basic draggable list using vuedraggable. The list items can be dragged and reordered.
<template>
<draggable v-model="items">
<div v-for="item in items" :key="item.id">{{ item.name }}</div>
</draggable>
</template>
<script>
import draggable from 'vuedraggable';
export default {
components: { draggable },
data() {
return {
items: [
{ id: 1, name: 'Item 1' },
{ id: 2, name: 'Item 2' },
{ id: 3, name: 'Item 3' }
]
};
}
};
</script>Draggable with Handle
This code sample shows how to use a handle for dragging items. Only the handle (represented by '::') can be used to drag the items.
<template>
<draggable v-model="items" handle=".handle">
<div v-for="item in items" :key="item.id">
<span class="handle">::</span> {{ item.name }}
</div>
</draggable>
</template>
<script>
import draggable from 'vuedraggable';
export default {
components: { draggable },
data() {
return {
items: [
{ id: 1, name: 'Item 1' },
{ id: 2, name: 'Item 2' },
{ id: 3, name: 'Item 3' }
]
};
}
};
</script>Nested Draggable Lists
This code sample demonstrates how to create nested draggable lists. Both parent and child items can be dragged and reordered independently.
<template>
<draggable v-model="parentItems">
<div v-for="parent in parentItems" :key="parent.id">
<div>{{ parent.name }}</div>
<draggable v-model="parent.children">
<div v-for="child in parent.children" :key="child.id">{{ child.name }}</div>
</draggable>
</div>
</draggable>
</template>
<script>
import draggable from 'vuedraggable';
export default {
components: { draggable },
data() {
return {
parentItems: [
{ id: 1, name: 'Parent 1', children: [
{ id: 11, name: 'Child 1' },
{ id: 12, name: 'Child 2' }
]},
{ id: 2, name: 'Parent 2', children: [
{ id: 21, name: 'Child 3' },
{ id: 22, name: 'Child 4' }
]}
]
};
}
};
</script>vue-slicksort is a set of higher-order components for building sortable interfaces. It is inspired by react-sortable-hoc and provides similar functionality to vuedraggable, but with a different API and additional features like horizontal sorting and grid layouts.
vue-draggable-resizable is a Vue component that allows you to create draggable and resizable elements. While it focuses more on resizable functionality, it also provides drag-and-drop capabilities similar to vuedraggable.
vue-grid-layout is a grid layout system for Vue.js, heavily inspired by React's Grid Layout. It allows for draggable and resizable grid items, making it suitable for creating complex, responsive layouts. It offers more advanced layout capabilities compared to vuedraggable.
Vue component (Vue.js 2.0) or directive (Vue.js 1.0) allowing drag-and-drop and synchronization with view model array.
Based on and offering all features of Sortable.js
Use draggable component:
<draggable v-model="myArray" :options="{group:'people'}" @start="drag=true" @end="drag=false">
<div v-for="element in myArray">{{element.name}}</div>
</draggable>
.vue file:
import draggable from 'vuedraggable'
...
export default {
components: {
draggable,
},
...
transition-group:<draggable v-model="myArray">
<transition-group>
<div v-for="element in myArray" :key="element.id">
{{element.name}}
</div>
</transition-group>
</draggable>
Draggable component should directly wrap the draggable elements, or a transition-component containing the draggable elements.
<draggable v-model='myList'>
computed: {
myList: {
get() {
return this.$store.state.myList
},
set(value) {
this.$store.commit('updateList', value)
}
}
}
Type: Array
Required: false
Default: null
Input array to draggable component. Typically same array as referenced by inner element v-for directive.
This is the preferred way to use Vue.draggable as it is compatible with Vuex.
It should not be used directly but only though the v-model directive:
<draggable v-model="myArray">
Type: Array
Required: false
Default: null
Altenative to the value prop, list is an array to be synchronized with drag-and-drop.
The main diference is that list prop is updated by draggable component using splice method, whereas value is immutable.
Do not use in conjunction with value prop.
Type: Object
Required: false
Option used to initialize the sortable object see: sortable option documentation
Note that all the method starting by "on" will be ignored as draggable component expose the same API via events.
Type: String
Default: 'div'
HTML node type of the element that draggable component create as outer element for the included slot.
Type: Function
Required: false
Default: (original) => { return original;}
Function called on the source component to clone element when clone option is true. The unique argument is the viewModel element to be cloned and the returned value is its cloned version.
By default vue.draggable reuses the viewModel element, so you have to use this hook if you want to clone or deep clone it.
Type: Function
Required: false
Default: null
If not null this function will be called in a similar way as Sortable onMove callback. Returning false will cancel the drag operation.
function onMoveCallback(evt, originalEvent){
...
// return false; — for cancel
}
evt object has same property as Sortable onMove event, and 3 additional properties:
draggedContext: context linked to dragged element
index: dragged element indexelement: dragged element underlying view model elementfutureIndex: potential index of the dragged element if the drop operation is acceptedrelatedContext: context linked to current drag operation
index: target element indexelement: target element view model elementlist: target listcomponent: target VueComponentHTML:
<draggable :list="list" :move="checkMove">
javascript:
checkMove: function(evt){
return (evt.draggedContext.element.name!=='apple');
}
See complete example: Cancel.html, cancel.js
Support for Sortable events:
start, add, remove, update, end, choose, sort, filter, clone
Events are called whenever onStart, onAdd, onRemove, onUpdate, onEnd, onChoose, onSort, onClone are fired by Sortable.js with the same argument.
See here for reference
Note that SortableJS OnMove callback is mapped with the move prop
HTML:
<draggable :list="list" @end="onEnd">
change event
change event is triggered when list prop is not null and the corresponding array is altered due to drag-and-drop operation.
This event is called with one argument containing one of the following properties:
added: contains information of an element added to the array
newIndex: the index of the added elementelement: the added elementremoved: contains information of an element removed from to the array
oldIndex: the index of the element before removeelement: the removed elementmoved: contains information of an element moved within the array
newIndex: the current index of the moved elementoldIndex: the old index of the moved elementelement: the moved elementDrag operation with empty list:
To be able to drag items on an empty draggable component, set a min-height more than 0 on the draggable component or the transition-group if any and ensure the transition group has display: block; otherwise height won't work.
