Group

// string

  revertDrag: true | false,
}

SortableEvent

event.from; // previous list
event.to; // list of currently placed drag element
event.node; // dragged element
event.clone; // cloned element, all dnd operations are based on cloned element and do not alter the source dom(dragEl).
event.target; // drop element
event.oldIndex; // old index within parent. `-1`: element added from another list to the current list
event.newIndex; // new index within parent. `-1`: element has been removed from the current list
event.event; // TouchEvent | MouseEvent
event.pullMode; // Pull mode if dragging into another sortable.
event.relative; // Position of the drop element relative to the drag element after swap is complete.
event.revertDrag; // revert draged element to initial position after moving to a another list on `{ pull: 'clone', revertDrag: true }`.
event.backToOrigin; // dragged element go back to the original list on `pull: 'clone'`.

Methods

let sortable = new Sortable(el);

// Manually clear all the state of the component, using this method the component will not be draggable
sortable.destroy();

// Get or set the option value, depending on whether the `value` is passed in
sortable.option(key, value?);

Static Methods & Properties

import Sortable from 'sortable-dnd';

Sortable.create(el: HTMLElement, options: SortableOptions); // Create new instance

Sortable.get(el: HTMLElement); // Get the Sortable instance of an element

Sortable.dragged; // The element being dragged

Utils

import Sortable from 'sortable-dnd';
const { on, off, css, index, closest, getRect, toggleClass } = Sortable.utils;

// attach an event handler function
on(el: HTMLElement, event: String, fn: Function);

// remove an event handler
off(el: HTMLElement, event: String, fn: Function);

// set one CSS properties
