I'm creating a management application with some element on the page. Those element can be dragged around. but in the page you have 2 seperate places where it could be dragged.
So is there a way you can set more then one class in the containment option of the jQuery draggeble?
Thanks
set the ui containment options like following:
containment:'selector_1, selector_2,...'
Per containment
:
Multiple types supported:
Selector: The draggable element will be contained to the bounding box of the first element found by the selector. If no element is
found, no containment will be set.
Element: The draggable element will be contained to the bounding box of this element.
String: Possible values: "parent", "document", "window".
Array: An array defining a bounding box in the form [ x1, y1, x2, y2 ].
Via https://api.jqueryui.com/draggable/#option-containment - @Vaindil mentioned this
The following is a "creative" answer regarding 'multiple containment selectors' not being directly supported by jQuery UI sortable
. This is an "idea" which may help; in practice it did for my app:
You could set containment
using Selector or Element (see above) mode with a higher-level parent element; meaning not just the actual 'parent' but maybe something a few DOM elements higher. (If you're using sortable
, you can connect the two.) Then use the draggable
method over
to determine if you're on a dropzone.
You can also instantiate droppable
on each dropzone. Here's some code that can help you determine what element you're over --- whereas this is highlighting all dropzone targets with a light-yellow bg class ('highlight') and the specific dropzone hovered with a bright-yellow bg class ('current-target'). Maybe you can use something like this to show the user where they're allowed to drop.
function droppable_on_deactivate_out() {
$('.dropzone').removeClass('target');
this.$dragElm.removeClass('over-outermost-parent');
this.$sortableElm.sortable('option', {
connectWith: this.activateConnectWith,
axis: 'y',
tolerance: 'pointer'
});
$(this).off('mousemove.droppableNamespace mouseout.droppableNamespace'); // Cleanup listeners
self.showGrid.tbody.animate({scrollTop: this.scrollBackTo}, 250);
}
$('.draggable').draggable({
// Or you could instantiate `sortable` instead of this `draggable` fn
});
$('#outermost-parent').droppable({
accept: '.draggable',
activate: function (droppableActivateEvent, ui) {
this.$dragElm = $(ui.draggable.context);
this.activateConnectWith = this.$dragElm.sortable('option', 'connectWith');
},
deactivate: droppable_on_deactivate_out,
over: function () {
$(this).on('mousemove.droppableNamespace', function (mousemoveEvent) {
$(mousemoveEvent.target)
.addClass('current-target')
.on('mouseout.droppableNamespace', function () {
$(this)
.removeClass('current-target')
.off('mousemove.droppableNamespace mouseout.droppableNamespace'); // Cleanup listeners
});
});
$('.dropzone').addClass('target');
this.$dragElm
.addClass('over-outermost-parent'); // Indicate something on UI
.sortable('option', {
connectWith: '#outermost-parent',
axis: false,
tolerance: 'intersect'
});
},
out: droppable_on_deactivate_out
});
Thus related to your containment
question, depending on where the mouse/drag is (what it is over) you can alter the UI or the draggable
option axis
(etc) on-the-fly. Try some creative solutions like this; I hope it helps!
