Mobile-friendly Drag And Drop Plugin With jQuery - draganddrop.js

draganddrop.js is a jQuery drag and drop plugin that enables sortable and draggable functionalities on any DOM elements without requiring the jQuery UI library. Supports single element, nested elements and grouped list. Compatible with touch and desktop devices.

How to use it:

1. Just load the following files in the document and the draganddrop.js library is ready for use.

<link href="draganddrop.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="draganddrop.js"></script>

2. Enable the draggable functionality on an DOM element you specify.

<div class="element">
  ...
</div>
$('.element').draggable();

3. Enable the sortable and draggable functionalities on an html list.

<ul class="demo">
  <li>Item 1</li>
  <li>Item 2
    <ul>
      <li>Item 2.1</li>
      <li>Item 2.2
        <ul>
          <li>Item 2.2.1</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Item 3
    <ul>
      <li>Item 3.1</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>
$('.demo').draggable();
$('.demo').sortable();

4. Possible options to customize the sortable functionality.

$('.demo').sortable({
  handle: false, // handle selector
  container: container_type,
  container_type: container_type,
  same_depth: false,
  nodes: node_type,
  nodes_type: node_type,
  placeholder_class: null,
  auto_container_class: 'sortable_container',
  autocreate: false, // creates nested containers within nodes
  group: false, // is grouped
  scroll: false, // is scrolled
  update: null // callback
});

5. Possible options to customize the draggable functionality.

$('.demo').draggable({
  handle: false,
  delegate: false, // selector of delegate element
  revert: false,
  placeholder: false,
  droptarget: false,
  container: false,
  scroll: false,
  //callbacks
  update: null,
  drop: null
});

6. API methods.

// disable the Draggable functionality
$('#drag').draggable('destroy');

// returns an object representing the structure of the nested list
$('#list').sortable('serialize');

// disable the Sortable functionality
$('#list').sortable('destroy');
