angular2-draggable is an angular (ver >= 4.x) directive that makes the DOM element draggable. (Note that: It's different from drag-and-drop)

  • Provide (movingOffset) event emitter: emit position offset when moving
  • Provide (endOffset) event emitter: emit position offset when stop moving

• 2018.03.09: 1.3.0

  • Provide [position] option: to set initial position offset.

• 2018.02.08: 1.2.1

• 2017.07.05: Publish UMD bundle

npm install angular2-draggable --save

• SystemJS: For example: angular quickstart. You need to modify systemjs.config.js file just like:

{
  map: {
    // ...

    // angular2-draggable
    'angular2-draggable':                   'npm:angular2-draggable',
  },
  packages: {
    // other packages ...

    //angular2-draggable
    'angular2-draggable': {
      defaultExtension: 'js',
      main: 'bundles/angular2-draggable.umd.min.js'
    }
  }
}

Please refer to the demo page.

1. Firstly, import AngularDraggableModule in your app module (or any other proper angular module):

   import { AngularDraggableModule } from 'angular2-draggable';
   
   @NgModule({
     imports: [
       ...,
       AngularDraggableModule
     ],
     ...
   })
   export class AppModule { }

2. Then: use ngDraggable directive to make the DOM element draggable.

   • Simple example:

     • html:

     <div ngDraggable>Drag me!</div>

   • Use [handle] to move parent element:

     • html:

     <div ngDraggable [handle]="DemoHandle" class="card">
       <div #DemoHandle class="card-header">I'm handle. Drag me!</div>
       <div class="card-block">You can't drag this block now!</div>
     </div>

ngDraggable directive support following input porperties:

• ngDraggable: boolean. You can toggle the draggable capability by setting true/false to ngDraggable

• handle: HTMLElement. Use template variable to refer to the handle element. Then only the handle element is draggable.

• zIndex: string. Use it to set z-index property when element is not moving.

• zIndexMoving: string. Use it to set z-index property when element is moving.

• bounds: HTMLElemnt. Use it to set the boundary.

• inBounds: boolean, default is false. Use it make element stay in the bounds.

• outOfBounds: { top: boolean; bottom: boolean; right: boolean; left: boolean }, default are false. Set it to allow element get out of bounds from the direction. Refer to demo

• position: IPosition: { x: number, y: number }, default is { x:0, y:0 }. Use it to set initial position offset.

When ngDraggable is enabled on some element, ng-draggable class is automatically assigned to it. You can use it to customize the pointer style. For example:

.ng-draggable {
  cursor: move;
}

1. Support started and stopped events. The nativeElement of the host would be emitted.
2. Support edge events only when [bounds] is set. It would emit the result of the boundary check.
3. (movingOffset) event emitter: emit position offset when moving
4. (endOffset) event emitter: emit position offset when stop moving

• Simple example:
  • html:

  <div ngDraggable
    (started)="onDragBegin($event)"
    (stopped)="onDragEnd($event)"
    (movingOffset)="onMoving($event)"
    (endOffset)="onMoveEnd($event)">
    Drag me!
  </div>
