API

Props	Type	Default	Description
areaSelector	string	null	Selector of the element considered as the "inside" area.
dragImage	element or object or string	null	The image used when the element is dragging.
dragClassName	string	null	A class name that will be assigned to the dragged element.
animate	boolean	false	A flag to enable animation back.
animateOptions	object	{ duration: .2, timingFunction: 'ease' }	Optional options for the animation back (see Animation Options).
dragHandleCentered	boolean	false	A flag to handle the dragged element by its center.
onDropOutside	function	null	Callback triggered when the dragged element is dropped outside the area.
onDropInside	function	null	Callback triggered when the dragged element is dropped inside the area
onDragCancel	function	null	Callback triggered when the drag is cancelled (Esc key)

Area Selector

You can define the DOM element which will be treated as the "inside" area by passing the selector of this element.

When dropping the dragged element, the action reconciles the boundaries of this element with the boundaries of the area to assert inside/outside stuff.

When pressing the Escape key, wherever the dragged element is, it is put back to its original position.

Drag Image

By default, the action clones the target element and sets its opacity to 0.7.

Alternately, you may use the dragImage prop to customize the image displayed during the drag.

The dragImage prop may be:

A DOM element such a <img> or a <template>:

<main>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="area">
            <div
                id="target"
                use:useDropOutside={{
                    areaSelector: '.area',
                    dragImage: document.querySelector('#drag-image'),
                }}
                class="target"
            >
                Drag me outside the white area
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</main>
<img id="drag-image" src="./assets/drag-image.png" alt="Dragging image" width="48" height="48"/>

An object with 3 properties:

Props	Description
src	Path of the image.
width	Width of the image (optional).
height	Height of the image (optional).

<main>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="area">
            <div
                id="target"
                use:useDropOutside={{
                    areaSelector: '.area',
                    dragImage: {
                        src: './assets/drag-image.png',
                        width: 48,
                        height: 48
                    },
                }}
                class="target"
            >
                Drag me outside the white area
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</main>

A string as path of the image:

<main>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="area">
            <div
                id="target"
                use:useDropOutside={{
                    areaSelector: '.area',
                    dragImage: './assets/drag-image.png',
                }}
                class="target"
            >
                Drag me outside the white area
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</main>

Drag styles

You may assign a class to the dragged element to customize its display, whether it is a clone of the target element or it is an image, by using the dragClassName prop.

The class declaration will be parsed and set to the style attribute of the dragged element to avoid priority issues. Thus, you are guaranteed your custom styles override the previous values.

Please note the class has to be global

<main>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="area">
            <div
                id="target"
                use:useDropOutside={{
                    areaSelector: '.area',
                    dragClassName: 'custom-drag',
                }}
                class="target"
            >
                Drag me outside the white area
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</main>

<style>
    .target {
        background-color: black;
    }
    
    :global(.custom-drag) {
        opacity: .5;
        background-color: red;
    }
</style>

Animation

By default, when the dragged element is dropped inside the area or if the drag is cancelled, the dragged element is plainly removed.

When setting the animate to true, when those events happen, the dragged element is smoothly moved back to its original position.

Animation Options

The animation can be configured through the animateOptions prop:

Argument	Type	Default	Description
duration	number	.2	Duration of the animation (in seconds).
timingFunction	string	'ease'	Function that defines the animation effect (see animation-timing-function).

Center Drag Handle

In some cases, usually when you customize the dragged element, through the dragImage or the dragClassName prop, you may want to center the dragged element under the pointer when moving to avoid weird behaviours.
Same regarding the position the dragged element has to move back when it is dropped.

The dragHandleCentered prop allows to control the way the dragged element is handled:

• If true, the center point the dragged element will be used.
• If false, the top left point of the dragged element will be used.

Callbacks

All callbacks are triggered with the following arguments:

Argument	Description
[0]	Dragged element.
[1]	Element considered as the "inside" area.

const _onDropOutside = (node, area) => {
  console.log(`You\'ve just dropped #${node.id} outside the #${area.id}`)
}

const _onDropInside = (node, area) => {
  console.log(`You\'ve just dropped #${node.id} inside the #${area.id}`)
}

const _onDragCancel = (node, area) => {
  console.log(`You\'ve just cancelled the drag of #${node.id} against #${area.id} boundaries`)
}

Recipes

Switching Container

You may use the action to implement a classic drag and drop container switch using the onDropInside callback:

<script>
    import { useDropOutside } from '@untemps/svelte-use-drop-outside'
    
    const _onDropInside = (node, area) => {
        area.appendChild(node)
    }
</script>

<main>
    <div class="container">
        <div id="origin-area" class="area">
          <div
            id="target"
            use:useDropOutside={{
                areaSelector: '#destination-area',
                onDropInside: _onDropInside,
            }}
            class="target"
          >
            Drag me into the second area
          </div>
        </div>
        <div id="destination-area" class="area"></div>
    </div>
</main>

<style>
    main {
        display: flex;
        align-items: center;
        justify-content: center;
        height: 100%;
        padding: 1rem;
        background-color: #617899;
    }
    
    .container {
        max-width: 640px;
        display: flex;
        flex-direction: row;
        align-items: center;
        gap: 3rem;
    }
    
    .area {
        width: 300px;
        height: 300px;
        display: flex;
        align-items: center;
        justify-content: center;
        background-color: white;
        box-shadow: 0 0 5px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    }
    
    .target {
        width: 10rem;
        background-color: black;
        color: white;
        text-align: center;
        display: flex;
        align-items: center;
        justify-content: center;
        padding: 1rem;
    }
</style>
