Installing

$ npm install react-draggable

If you aren't using browserify/webpack, a UMD version of react-draggable is available. It is updated per-release only.

If you want a UMD version of the latest master revision, you can generate it yourself from master by cloning this repository and running $ make. This will create umd dist files in the dist/ folder.

Details

A <Draggable> element wraps an existing element and extends it with new event handlers and styles. It does not create a wrapper element in the DOM.

Draggable items are moved using CSS Transforms. This allows items to be dragged regardless of their current positioning (relative, absolute, or static). Elements can also be moved between drags without incident.

If the item you are dragging already has a CSS Transform applied, it will be overwritten by <Draggable>. Use an intermediate wrapper (<Draggable><span>...</span></Draggable>) in this case.

Example

/** @jsx React.DOM */
var React = require('react'),
	Draggable = require('react-draggable');

var App = React.createClass({
	handleStart: function (event, ui) {
		console.log('Event: ', event);
		console.log('Position: ', ui.position);
	},

	handleDrag: function (event, ui) {
		console.log('Event: ', event);
        console.log('Position: ', ui.position);
	},

	handleStop: function (event, ui) {
		console.log('Event: ', event);
        console.log('Position: ', ui.position);
	},

	render: function () {
		return (
			// <Draggable/> transparently adds draggable interactivity
			// to whatever element is supplied as `this.props.children`.
			// Only a single element is allowed or an Error will be thrown.
			//
			// The element is moved from its current position using absolute positioning.
			//
			// `axis` determines which axis the draggable can move.
			// - 'both' allows movement horizontally and vertically (default).
			// - 'x' limits movement to horizontal axis.
			// - 'y' limits movement to vertical axis.
			//
			// `handle` specifies a selector to be used as the handle that initiates drag.
			//
			// `cancel` specifies a selector to be used to prevent drag initialization.
			//
			// `grid` specifies the x and y that dragging should snap to.
			//
			// `bounds` specifies movement boundaries. Pass:
			// - 'parent' restricts movement within the node's offsetParent
			//	 (nearest node with position relative or absolute), or
			// - An object with left, top, right, and bottom properties.
			//
			// `zIndex` specifies the zIndex to use while dragging.
			//
			// `onStart` is called when dragging starts.
			//
			// `onDrag` is called while dragging.
			//
			// `onStop` is called when dragging stops.

			<Draggable
				axis="x"
				handle=".handle"
				grid={[25, 25]}
				zIndex={100}
				onStart={this.handleStart}
				onDrag={this.handleDrag}
				onStop={this.handleStop}>
				<div>
					<div className="handle">Drag from here</div>
					<div>Lorem ipsum...</div>
				</div>
			</Draggable>
		);
	}
});

React.renderComponent(<App/>, document.body);
