Dependencies
Latest version available for each version of Angular
| ng2-dragula | Angular | | ---------- |---------| | 2.1.1 | <= 9.x | | current | 16.x.x |
Install
You can get it on npm.
npm install ng2-dragula
# or
yarn add ng2-dragula
Setup
1. Important: add the following line to your polyfills.ts
:
(window as any).global = window;
This is a temporary workaround for
#849, while upstream
dragula still relies on global
.
2. Add DragulaModule.forRoot()
to your application module.
import { DragulaModule } from 'ng2-dragula';
@NgModule({
imports: [
...,
DragulaModule.forRoot()
],
})
export class AppModule { }
On any child modules (like lazy loaded route modules), just use DragulaModule
.
3. Add the CSS to your project
You'll also need to add Dragula's CSS stylesheet dragula.css
to your
application (e.g. in styles.scss
). The following is slightly better than
node_modules/dragula/dist/dragula.css
(it includes pointer-events: none
(#508) and
this fix),
but you may wish to make your own modifications.
/* in-flight clone */
.gu-mirror {
position: fixed !important;
margin: 0 !important;
z-index: 9999 !important;
opacity: 0.8;
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=80)";
filter: alpha(opacity=80);
pointer-events: none;
}
/* high-performance display:none; helper */
.gu-hide {
left: -9999px !important;
}
/* added to mirrorContainer (default = body) while dragging */
.gu-unselectable {
-webkit-user-select: none !important;
-moz-user-select: none !important;
-ms-user-select: none !important;
user-select: none !important;
}
/* added to the source element while its mirror is dragged */
.gu-transit {
opacity: 0.2;
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=20)";
filter: alpha(opacity=20);
}
Then you're ready to go
Here's a super quick sample to get you started:
@Component({
selector: "sample",
template:`
<div>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="container" dragula="DRAGULA_FACTS">
<div>You can move these elements between these two containers</div>
<div>Moving them anywhere else isn't quite possible</div>
<div>There's also the possibility of moving elements around in the same container, changing their position</div>
</div>
<div class="container" dragula="DRAGULA_FACTS">
<div>This is the default use case. You only need to specify the containers you want to use</div>
<div>More interactive use cases lie ahead</div>
<div>Make sure to check out the <a href="https://github.com/bevacqua/dragula#readme">documentation on GitHub!</a></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
`
})
class Sample {}
Usage
This package isn't very different from dragula
itself. I'll mark the
differences here, but please refer to the documentation for
dragula if you need to learn more about
dragula
itself.
Directive
There's a dragula
directive that makes a container's direct children
draggable. You must supply a string. Both syntaxes, dragula="VAMPIRES"
or
[dragula]="'VAMPIRES'"
, work equally well.
<ul dragula="VAMPIRES">
<li>Dracula</li>
<li>Kurz</li>
<li>Vladislav</li>
<li>Deacon</li>
</ul>
Grouping containers
You can group containers together by giving them the same group name. When you do, the children of each container can be dragged to any container in the same group.
<div dragula="VAMPIRES">
<!-- vamps in here -->
</div>
<div dragula="VAMPIRES">
<!-- vamps in here -->
</div>
<div dragula="ZOMBIES">
<!-- but zombies in here! -->
</div>
If you want to make sure you are using the same type string in different places,
use the [dragula]
syntax to pass a string variable from your component:
<div [dragula]="Vampires"></div>
<div [dragula]="Vampires"></div>
class MyComponent {
Vampires = "VAMPIRES";
}
Saving changes to arrays with [(dragulaModel)]
If your container's children are rendered using ngFor
, you may wish to read what your users have done. If you provide the same array to the [(dragulaModel)]
attribute on the container element, any changes will be synced back to the array.
NOTE: v2 changes the behaviour of [dragulaModel]. It no longer mutates the arrays you give it, but will shallow clone them and give you the results. Use two-way binding with [(dragulaModel)]="..."
, or use the DragulaService dropModel
and removeModel
events to save the new models produced.
<ul dragula="VAMPIRES" [(dragulaModel)]="vampires">
<li *ngFor="let vamp of vampires">
{{ vamp.name }} likes {{ vamp.favouriteColor }}
</li>
</ul>
You do not, of course, have to sync the changes back. The [(dragulaModel)]
syntax is equivalent to:
<ul dragula="VAMPIRES" [dragulaModel]="vampires" (dragulaModelChange)="vampires = $event">
...
</ul>
Note: DO NOT put any other elements inside the container. The library relies on having the index of a DOM element inside a container mapping directly to their associated items in the array. Everything will be messed up if you do this.
On top of the normal Dragula events, when [(dragulaModel)]
is provided, there are two extra events: dropModel
and removeModel
. Further details are available under Events
Drake options
If you need to configure the drake
(there's exactly one drake
per group
), you can use the DragulaService
.
import { DragulaService } from 'ng2-dragula';
class ConfigExample {
constructor(private dragulaService: DragulaService) {
dragulaService.createGroup("VAMPIRES", {
removeOnSpill: true
});
}
}
See below for more info on options.
DragulaService
This service exposes a few different methods with which you can interact with dragula
.
dragulaService.createGroup(name, options)
NOTE: formerly known as setOptions()
Creates a group named name
, with an
options object.
dragulaService.find(name: string)
Returns a Group
named name
, if there is one. A Group
contains the following
properties.
name
is the name that identifies the groupdrake
is the rawdrake
instance itselfoptions
is the options object used to create the drake. Modifying it won't do anything useful.
dragulaService.destroy(name)
Destroys a Group
named name
and its associated drake
instance. Silently
returns if the group does not exist.
DragulaOptions
Refer to the documentation for dragula to learn more about the native options.
All of the native options work with ng2-dragula. However, there is one addition:
copyItem: <T>(item: T) => T
When you have:
[(dragulaModel)]
copy
istrue
or a function that returns true
... ng2-dragula will have to create a clone of the JS object you picked up. In
previous versions of ng2-dragula
, there was a terribly buggy,
one-size-fits-all clone function. From v2 onwards, you MUST provide your own
copyItem
function.
If you have a simple object with no nested values, it could be as simple as:
{
copy: ...,
copyItem: (item: MyType) => ({ ...item })
}
There is a complete example using a Person
class on the demo page.
Events
Whenever a drake
instance is created with the dragula
directive, there are
several events you can subscribe to via DragulaService
. Each event emits
a typed object, which you can use to get information about what happened.
Refer to the Drake events documentation for more information about the different events available. Each event follows this format:
Event named: 'drag'
Native dragula:
Use: drake.on('drag', listener)
Listener arguments: (el, source)
ng2-dragula:
Method: DragulaService.drag(groupName?: string): Observable<...>
Observable of: { name: string; el: Element; source: Element; }
Each supports an optional parameter, groupName?: string
, which filters events
to the group you're interested in. This is usually better than getting all
groups in one observable.
The sample below illustrates how you can use destructuring to pull values from the event, and unsubscribe when your component is destroyed.
<div dragula="VAMPIRES"></div>
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs';
import { DragulaService } from 'ng2-dragula';
export class MyComponent {
// RxJS Subscription is an excellent API for managing many unsubscribe calls.
// See note below about unsubscribing.
subs = new Subscription();
constructor(private dragulaService: DragulaService) {
// These will get events limited to the VAMPIRES group.
this.subs.add(this.dragulaService.drag("VAMPIRES")
.subscribe(({ name, el, source }) => {
// ...
})
);
this.subs.add(this.dragulaService.drop("VAMPIRES")
.subscribe(({ name, el, target, source, sibling }) => {
// ...
})
);
// some events have lots of properties, just pick the ones you need
this.subs.add(this.dragulaService.dropModel("VAMPIRES")
// WHOA
// .subscribe(({ name, el, target, source, sibling, sourceModel, targetModel, item }) => {
.subscribe(({ sourceModel, targetModel, item }) => {
// ...
})
);
// You can also get all events, not limited to a particular group
this.subs.add(this.dragulaService.drop()
.subscribe(({ name, el, target, source, sibling }) => {
// ...
})
);
}
ngOnDestroy() {
// destroy all the subscriptions at once
this.subs.unsubscribe();
}
}
NOTE: You should always unsubscribe each time you listen to an event. This
is especially true for a component, which should tear itself down completely in
ngOnDestroy
, including any subscriptions. It might not be necessary if you
have a global singleton service (which is never destroyed) doing the
subscribing.
You can also engineer your use of events to avoid subscribing in the first place:
import { merge } from 'rxjs';
import { mapTo, startWith } from 'rxjs/operators';
dragStart$ = this.dragulaService.drag("VAMPIRES").pipe(mapTo(true));
dragEnd$ = this.dragulaService.dragend("VAMPIRES").pipe(mapTo(false));
isDragging$ = merge(dragStart$, dragEnd$).pipe(startWith(false));
// html: [class.dragging]="isDragging$ | async"
Special Events for ng2-dragula
The dropModel(name?: string)
and removeModel(name?: string)
events are only active when you have supplied [dragulaModel]
.
| Event Name | Listener Arguments | Event Description | | :-------------- | :-------------------------: | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | dropModel | { type, el, target, source, item, sourceModel, targetModel, sourceIndex, targetIndex } | same as normal drop, but with updated models + the item that was dropped | | removeModel | { type, el, container, source, item, sourceModel, sourceIndex } | same as normal remove, but with updated model + the item that got removed |
Classic Blunders
There are a number of very common issues filed against this repo. You will be mocked terribly if you file a bug and it turns out you made one of these blunders and it wasn't a bug at all.
1. Do not put [dragula]
or [(dragulaModel)]
on the same element as *ngFor
.
WRONG:
<div class="container">
<div *ngFor="let x of list"
dragula="WRONG" [(dragulaModel)]="list">...</div>
</div>
RIGHT:
<div class="container" dragula="RIGHT" [(dragulaModel)]="list">
<div *ngFor="let x of list">...</div>
</div>
2. Do not add any child elements that aren't meant to be draggable
WRONG:
<div class="container" dragula="WRONG" [(dragulaModel)]="list">
<h2>WRONG: This header will mess up everything, and you will
get really weird bugs on drop</h2>
<div *ngFor="let x of list">...</div>
</div>
RIGHT:
<h2>This header will not be draggable or affect drags at all.</h2>
<div class="container" dragula="RIGHT" [(dragulaModel)]="list">
<div *ngFor="let x of list">...</div>
</div>
Alternatives
There are hundreds of other libraries that do this. Some notable ones:
- @angular-skyhook, specifically with the sortable. Also by me (@cormacrelf).
- @angular/cdk/drag-drop -- no documentation yet, but will presumably be well-supported.
Development
- You must use Yarn >= 1.3. It includes the 'workspaces' feature.
