@bufferapp/dragme

A super lightweight module for dragging elements using CSS3 Transforms. The goal of this module is to be a minimal way to make certain elements draggable on a page, i.e. modal windows.

Dragme makes use of some modern JS APIs – make sure to polyfill it depending on the browser support wanted:

• Element.classList
• Object.assign()
• Element.closest()

Install

npm install @bufferapp/dragme

Usage

const dragMe = new DragMe(document.querySelector('#draggable-component'));

Prevent dragging on certain elements:

const dragMe = new DragMe(document.querySelector('#draggable-component'), {
  cancel: 'textarea, .button',
});

Cleanup bindings to disable a DragMe instance:

dragMe.cleanup();

Listen to when dragging starts and stops using callbacks:

const dragMe = new DragMe(document.querySelector('#draggable-component'), {
  onDragStart: () => console.log('Started dragging'),
  onDragEnd: () => console.log('Stopped dragging'),
});

Roadmap

• Use requestAnimationFrame for smoother movement
