Getting Started

angular2-draggable has angular directives that make the DOM element draggable and resizable.

  • ngDraggable

    • v16.x requires Angular >= 16
    • v2.x requires Angular >= 6
    • v1.5.0 requires Angular >= 4 && < 6
  • ngResizable

    • provided since v2.0, requires Angular >= 6

CHANGELOG

Installation

npm install angular2-draggable --save

Draggable

Please refer to the demo page.

  1. Firstly, import AngularDraggableModule in your app module (or any other proper angular module):

    import { AngularDraggableModule } from 'angular2-draggable';
    
    @NgModule({
      imports: [
        ...,
        AngularDraggableModule
      ],
      ...
    })
    export class AppModule { }
  2. Then: use ngDraggable directive to make the DOM element draggable.

    • Simple example:

      • html:
      <div ngDraggable>Drag me!</div>
    • Use [handle] to move parent element:

      • html:
      <div ngDraggable [handle]="DemoHandle" class="card">
        <div #DemoHandle class="card-header">I'm handle. Drag me!</div>
        <div class="card-block">You can't drag this block now!</div>
      </div>

Resizable

Please refer to the demo page.

Besides of importing AngularDraggableModule, you need to import resizable.min.css in your project. If you use angular-cli, you can add this in angular.json:

"styles": [
    ...
+   "node_modules/angular2-draggable/css/resizable.min.css"
]

Then you can use ngResizable directive to make the element resizable:

<div ngResizable> I'm now resizable </div>

<div [ngResizable]="false"> Resizable is disabled now </div>

<div ngResizable [rzHandles]="'n,e,s,w,se,sw,ne,nw'"> Each side is resizable </div>

Well you can use both directives concurrently if you wish:

<div ngDraggable ngResizable> I'm now draggable and resizable </div>

API

Directive:

  • ngDraggable directive support following input porperties:

    Input Type Default Description
    ngDraggable boolean true You can toggle the draggable capability by setting true or false
    handle HTMLElement null Use template variable to refer to the handle element. Then only the handle element is draggable
    zIndex string null Use it to set z-index property when element is not moving
    zIndexMoving string null Use it to set z-index property when element is moving
    bounds HTMLElemnt null Use it to set the boundary
    inBounds boolean false Use it make element stay in the bounds
    outOfBounds { top: boolean; bottom: boolean; right: boolean; left: boolean } false Set it to allow element get out of bounds from the direction. Refer to demo
    position { x: number, y: number } { x:0, y:0 } Use it to set position offset
    gridSize number 1 Use it for snapping to grid. Refer to demo
    preventDefaultEvent boolean false Whether to prevent default mouse event
    scale number 1 Set it when parent element has CSS transform scale
    lockAxis 'x' | 'y' null Restrict dragging to a specific axis by locking another one
  • ngResizable directive support following input porperties:

    Input Type Default Description
    ngResizable boolean true You can toggle the resizable capability by setting true or false
    rzHandles string "e,s,se" Which handles can be used for resizing. Optional types in "n,e,s,w,se,sw,ne,nw" or "all"
    rzAspectRatio boolean | number false boolean: Whether the element should be constrained to a specific aspect ratio. number: Force the element to maintain a specific aspect ratio during resizing (width/height)
    rzContainment Selector | string | Element null Constrains resizing to within the bounds of the specified element or region. It accepts an HTMLElement, 'parent' or a valid CSS selector string such as '#id'
    rzGrid number | number[] 1 Snaps the resizing element to a grid, every x and y pixels. Array values: [x, y]
    rzMinWidth number 1 The minimum width the resizable should be allowed to resize to.
    rzMaxWidth number 1 The maximum width the resizable should be allowed to resize to.
    rzMinHeight number 1 The minimum height the resizable should be allowed to resize to.
    rzMaxHeight number 1 The maximum height the resizable should be allowed to resize to.
    preventDefaultEvent boolean false Whether to prevent default mouse event.
    rzScale number 1 Set it when parent element has CSS transform scale

CSS:

  • When ngDraggable is enabled on some element, ng-draggable and ng-dragging class is automatically toggled on it. You can use it to customize the pointer style. For example:

    .ng-draggable {
      cursor: grab;
    }
    
    .ng-dragging {
      cursor: grabbing;
    }
  • When ngResizable is enabled on some element, ng-resizable class is automatically assigned to it. And handle elements will be created with ng-resizable-handle. You can customize the handle style.

Events

  • ngDraggable directive:

    Output $event Description
    started nativeElement of host emitted when start dragging
    stopped nativeElement of host emitted when stop dragging
    edge { top: boolean, right: boolean, bottom: boolean, left: boolean } emitted after [bounds] is set
    movingOffset { x: number, y: number } emit position offset when moving
    endOffset { x: number, y: number } emit position offset when stop moving

    Simple example:

    <div ngDraggable
      (started)="onDragBegin($event)"
      (stopped)="onDragEnd($event)"
      (movingOffset)="onMoving($event)"
      (endOffset)="onMoveEnd($event)">
      Drag me!
    </div>
  • ngResizable directive:

    Output $event description
    rzStart IResizeEvent emitted when start resizing
    rzResizing IResizeEvent emitted when resizing
    rzStop IResizeEvent emitted when stop resizing
    export interface IResizeEvent {
      host: any;
      handle: any;
      size: {
        width: number;
        height: number;
      };
      position: {
        top: number;
        left: number;
      };
      direction: {
        n: boolean;
        s: boolean;
        w: boolean;
        e: boolean;
      };
    }

    Simple example:

    <div ngResizable
      (rzStart)="onResizeStart($event)"
      (rzResizing)="onResizing($event)"
      (rzStop)="onResizeStop($event)">
      Resizable
    </div>
