H5 drag and drop API for drag and drop sorting

This time I will bring you the H5 drag-and-drop API for drag-and-drop sorting. What are the precautions for drag-and-drop sorting using the H5 drag-and-drop API? The following is a practical case, let’s take a look.

Preface

HTML5 provides a direct drag-and-drop API, which greatly facilitates us to achieve the drag-and-drop effect. We don’t need to write a lot of js, just Various drag-and-drop functions can be implemented by listening to the drag-and-drop events of elements.

If you want to drag and drop an element, you must set the element's draggable

attribute to true. When this attribute is false, dragging and dropping will not be allowed. Both the img element and the a element have the draggable attribute set to true by default, so they can be dragged and dropped directly. If you do not want to drag and drop these two elements, just set the attribute to false.

Drag and drop events

Drag and drop events are generated by different elements. When an element is dragged and dropped, it may pass through many elements before finally reaching the element you want to place. Here, I temporarily call the dragged element the source object, the passed element the process object, and the arrived element the target object. Different objects generate different drag and drop events.

Source object:

1. dragstart: The source object starts dragging and dropping.

2. drag: During the drag and drop process of the source object.

3. dragend: Drag and drop of the source object ends.

Process object:

1. dragenter: The source object begins to enter the scope of the process object.

2. dragover: The source object moves within the scope of the process object.

3. dragleave: The source object leaves the scope of the procedure object.

Target object:

1. drop: The source object is dragged and dropped into the target object.

a元素
b元素
c元素

dataTransfer object

Provides a data transfer object dataTransfer in all drag and drop events, used to transfer between the source object and the target object Pass data. Next, let's get to know the methods and properties of this object to understand how it transfers data.

setData()

This method stores data into the dataTransfer object. Receives two parameters. The first one represents the

string indicating the type of data to be stored. Currently, the following types are supported:

1. text/plain: text text.

2. text/html: HTML text.

3. text/xml: XML text.

4. text/uri-list: URL list, each URL is one line.

The second parameter is the data to be stored. For example:

event.dataTransfer.setData('text/plain','Hello World');

getData()

This method reads data from the dataTransfer object. The parameter is the data type specified in setData. For example:

event.dataTransfer.getData('text/plain');

clearData()

This method clears the data stored in the dataTransfer object. The parameter is optional and is the data type. If the parameter is empty, all types of data will be cleared. For example:

event.dataTransfer.clearData();

setDragImage()

This method sets the drag and drop icon by using the img element. Receives three parameters, the first is the icon element, the second is the X-axis displacement of the icon element from the mouse pointer, and the third is the Y-axis displacement of the icon element from the mouse pointer. For example:

var source = document.getElementById('source'),
    icon = document.createElement('img');
icon.src = 'img.png';
source.addEventListener('dragstart',function(ev){
    ev.dataTransfer.setDragImage(icon,-10,-10)
},false)

effectAllowed and dropEffect properties

These two properties are combined to set the visual effect of drag and drop.

It is worth noting: IE does not support dataTransfer objects. Yes, it is not supported regardless of IE version.

Implement drag-and-drop sorting

We are already familiar with the use of drag-and-drop API. Let’s implement a simple drag-and-drop sorting, which is also common in projects. . Let’s sort out the idea first:

1. In a list, each element can be dragged and dropped. Then you must first set the draggable attribute to true for each element.

2. Listen to the dragstart event of each element and style the source object to distinguish it.

3. 监听每个元素的 dragenter 事件，当源对象进入到当前元素里，就把源对象添加到该元素之前。这样子后面的元素就会被源对象挤下去了，实现了排序的效果。

4. 但是会发现，源对象无法排到最后一个去，只能在倒数第二。这时就要监听 dragleave 事件，当过程对象是最后一个元素时，源对象离开了过程对象，这时就把源对象添加到最后去。

主要代码如下：

var source = document.querySelectorAll('.list'),
    dragElement = null;
for(var i = 0; i < source.length; i++){
    source[i].addEventListener('dragstart',function(ev){
        dragElement = this;
    },false);
    source[i].addEventListener('dragenter', function(ev){
        if(dragElement != this){
            this.parentNode.insertBefore(dragElement,this);
        }
    }, false)
    source[i].addEventListener('dragleave', function(ev){
        if(dragElement != this){
            if(this == this.parentNode.lastElementChild || this == this.parentNode.lastChild){
                this.parentNode.appendChild(dragElement);
            }
        }
    }, false)
};
document.ondragover = function(e){e.preventDefault();}
document.ondrop = function(e){e.preventDefault();}

兼容

主要是在IE中的兼容不太好，不过至少在IE10中能兼容上面的拖动排序。

而且在我简单的试验中发现，就是在 IE 中元素不设置 height 的时候，不会触发 dragleave 事件。

更重要的一点是在 ios 和安卓上，完全不兼容。不过还好，有一个插件能让它在移动端完美兼容。  

插件地址：ios-html5-drag-drop-shim    

只需要在原有的代码中引入该插件，即可在移动端上实现拖动了。
