Rect Restrict

RectRestrict is simple util to help you restrict your target to some areas(rectangle).

Motivation

Recently in a project of mine, I need to restrict a user-draggable item to several areas.

Users can drag the item to anywhere on the web page, but the item finally needs to be in several areas when it was dropped.

So, I wrote this simple util.

Usage

npm i @gucheen/rect-restrict

import { RectRestrict } from '@gucheen/rect-restrict';

const rectRestrict = new RectRestrict();

rectRestrict.setAreas([
  {
    id: 1,
    top: 50,
    left: 50,
    width: 200,
    heigth: 200,
  },
]);

const result = rectRestrict.check({
  top: 10,
  left: 10,
  width: 20,
  height: 20,
});

console.log(result);

/**
{x: 50, y: 50, left: 50, top: 50, id: 1}
* /

Api

Area

interface Area {
  id?: any;
  x?: number;
  top?: number;
  y?: number;
  left?: number;
  right?: number;
  bottom?: number;
  width: number;
  height: number;
  center?: [number, number];
}
// one of top and y should be provided
// one of left and x should be provided
// id will be returned in check() if it was provided

class RectRestrict({areas}: {areas?: Area[]} = {})

static RectRestrict.optimizeRect(area: Partial<Area>): OptimizeArea

interface OptimizeArea {
  id?: number;
  top: number;
  left: number;
  right: number;
  bottom: number;
  width: number;
  height: number;
  center: [number, number];
}

This static method is used internally to deal with the areas' data.

You may also use it to get formatted data.

RectRestrict.check(target: Area): RestrictPosition

interface RestrictPosition {
  top: number;
  left: number;
  x: number;
  y: number;
  id: any; // the id of area which this postion belongs to
}

Check if the target was in one of the areas.

Return the current position of the target if it is already in one of the areas.

Return the closest position of the closest area otherwise.

The closest position means that the restricted position will be one side or corner of the area.

RectRestrict.getPosInArea(pos: Partial<Area>): Area

Return the area if the given position is in it.

FAQ

1. Is it too simple to cover some more complex demands?

   This lib(util, well) is focused on the specific proposal - restrict a rectangle in others.

2. What if I need to deal with a polygon or circle?

   Refer to a physical engine or game engine to deal with complex problems.
