Drag/Swipe To Scroll Plugin With jQuery - dragScroll.js

Yet another jQuery based drag to scroll plugin which allows users to move content in a scrollable area horizontally or vertically using mouse drag (desktop) or touch swipe events (mobile).

How to use it:

1. Add your long content to a scrollable container. In this example, we're going to apply a panning functionality to an image.

<div class="drag-box">

  <!-- draggable content -->
  <div class="drag">
    <img src="https://source.unsplash.com/KZc9h88nwpM/1600x900">
  </div>
  
</div>

.drag-box{
  width: 400px;
  height: 300px;
  overflow: hidden;
}

2. Load the JavaScript file jquery.dragscroll.min.js after loading jQuery library.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js" 
        integrity="sha384-nvAa0+6Qg9clwYCGGPpDQLVpLNn0fRaROjHqs13t4Ggj3Ez50XnGQqc/r8MhnRDZ" 
        crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.dragscroll.min.js"></script>

3. Attach the plugin to the draggable content and done.

$(function(){
  $('.drag').dragscroll();
});

4. Limit the direction of scrolling: horizontal or vertical. Default: both.

$('.drag').dragScroll({
  direction: 'scrollLeft'
});

$('.drag').dragscroll({
  direction: 'scrollTop'
});

5. Trigger functions on start/end/move.

$('.drag').dragScroll({
  onStart: function($this) {
    console.log($this);
  },
  onMove: function($this) {
    console.log($this);
  },
  onEnd: function($this) {
    console.log($this);
  }
});
