Touch Drag and Drop Custom Events

Installation

npm install --save touch-dnd-custom-events

Usage

import setupTouchDNDCustomEvents from 'touch-dnd-custom-events'

setupTouchDNDCustomEvents()

Once the initial setup function is called (setupTouchDNDCustomEvents()), touch events (touchstart on draggable html elements, touchmove during a drag, touchend during a drag) are intercepted and dispatch custom drag and drop events with the same datatransfer interface as html 5 drag and drop events (see https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/interaction.html#datatransfer for details).

The custom event names are as follows.

• touchdragstart (equivalent of html5 dragstart)
• touchdrag (equivalent of html5 drag)
• touchdragenter (equivalent of html5 dragenter)
• touchdragleave (equivalent of html5 dragleave)
• touchdragover (equivalent of html5 dragover)
• touchdrop (equivalent of html5 drop)
• touchdragend (equivalent of html5 dragend)

Because these custom events have the same interface as html5 drag and drop events, they can be treated the same way as a normal html 5 drag and drop event.
