Angular 2 Drag-and-Drop without dependencies.
Follow me 
Some of these APIs and Components are not final and are subject to change!
The library uses ng-packagr to transpile into the Angular Package Format:
- Bundles library in
FESM2015,FESM5, andUMDformats - The npm package can be consumed by
Angular CLI,Webpack, orSystemJS - Creates type definitions (
.d.ts) - Generates Ahead-of-Time metadata (
.metadata.json) - Auto-discovers and bundles secondary entry points such as
@my/foo,@my/foo/testing,@my/foo/bar
npm install ng2-dnd --saveIf you use SystemJS to load your files, you might have to update your config:
System.config({
map: {
'ng2-dnd': 'node_modules/ng2-dnd/bundles/ng2-dnd.umd.js'
}
});- Import the
style.cssinto your web page fromnode_modules/ng2-dnd/bundles/style.css
Import DndModule.forRoot() in the NgModule of your application.
The forRoot method is a convention for modules that provide a singleton service.
import {BrowserModule} from "@angular/platform-browser";
import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';
import {DndModule} from 'ng2-dnd';
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
DndModule.forRoot()
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}If you have multiple NgModules and you use one as a shared NgModule (that you import in all of your other NgModules),
don't forget that you can use it to export the DndModule that you imported in order to avoid having to import it multiple times.
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
DndModule
],
exports: [BrowserModule, DndModule],
})
export class SharedModule {
}import {Component} from '@angular/core';
@Component({

</div>`
})
export class SimpleDndComponent {
simpleDrop: any = null;
}import {Component} from '@angular/core';

})
export class SimpleDndHandleComponent {

}You can use property dropZones (actually an array) to specify in which place you would like to drop the draggable element:
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'zone-dnd',
template: `
<h4>Restricted Drag-and-Drop with zones</h4>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3">
<div class="panel panel-primary">
<div class="panel-heading">Available to drag</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="panel panel-default" dnd-draggable [dragEnabled]="true" [dropZones]="['zone1']">
<div class="panel-body">
<div>Drag Me</div>
<div>Zone 1 only</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="panel panel-success">
<div class="panel-heading">Available to drag</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="panel panel-default" dnd-draggable [dragEnabled]="true" [dropZones]="['zone1', 'zone2']">
<div class="panel-body">
<div>Drag Me</div>
<div>Zone 1 & 2</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3">
<div dnd-droppable class="panel panel-info" [dropZones]="['zone1']" (onDropSuccess)="restrictedDrop1=$event">
<div class="panel-heading">Zone 1</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<div *ngIf="restrictedDrop1">Item was dropped here</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3">
<div dnd-droppable class="panel panel-warning" [dropZones]="['zone2']" (onDropSuccess)="restrictedDrop2=$event">
<div class="panel-heading">Zone 2</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<div *ngIf="restrictedDrop2">Item was dropped here</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>`
})
export class ZoneDndComponent {
restrictedDrop1: any = null;
restrictedDrop2: any = null;
}You can transfer data from draggable to droppable component via dragData property of Draggable component:
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'custom-data-dnd',
template: `
<h4>Transfer custom data in Drag-and-Drop</h4>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3">
<div class="panel panel-success">
<div class="panel-heading">Available to drag</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="panel panel-default" dnd-draggable [dragEnabled]="true" [dragData]="transferData">
<div class="panel-body">
<div>Drag Me</div>
<div>{{transferData | json}}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3">
<div dnd-droppable class="panel panel-info" (onDropSuccess)="transferDataSuccess($event)">
<div class="panel-heading">Place to drop (Items:{{receivedData.length}})</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<div [hidden]="!receivedData.length > 0" *ngFor="let data of receivedData">{{data | json}}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>`
})
export class CustomDataDndComponent {
transferData: Object = {id: 1, msg: 'Hello'};
receivedData: Array<any> = [];
transferDataSuccess($event: any) {
this.receivedData.push($event);
}
}For use-cases when a static set of dropZones is not possible, a custom function can be used to dynamically determine whether an item can be dropped or not. To achieve that, set the allowDrop property to this boolean function.
In the following example, we have two containers that only accept numbers that are multiples of a user-input base integer. dropZones are not helpful here because they are static, whereas the user input is dynamic.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'custom-function-dnd',
template: `
<h4>Use a custom function to determine where dropping is allowed</h4>
<div class="row">

export class CustomFunctionDndComponent {
