`bash

`

If you aren't using browserify/webpack, a
UMD version of react-draggable is available. It is updated per-release only.
This bundle is also what is loaded when installing from npm. It expects external React and ReactDOM.

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.

The default export is . At the .DraggableCore property is .
Here's how to use it:

`js
// ES6
import Draggable from 'react-draggable'; // The default
import {DraggableCore} from 'react-draggable'; //
import Draggable, {DraggableCore} from 'react-draggable'; // Both at the same time

// CommonJS
let Draggable = require('react-draggable');
let DraggableCore = Draggable.DraggableCore;
`





A 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 . Use
an intermediate wrapper (...) in this case.

eventLogger = (e: MouseEvent, data: Object) => {
console.log('Event: ', e);
console.log('Data: ', data);

The component transparently adds draggability to its children.

Note: Only a single child is allowed or an Error will be thrown.

For the component to correctly attach itself to its child, the child element must provide support
for the following props:
- style is used to give the transform css to the child.
- className is used to apply the proper classes to the object being dragged.
- onMouseDown, onMouseUp, onTouchStart, and onTouchEnd are used to keep track of dragging state.

React.DOM elements support the above properties by default, so you may use those elements as children without
any changes. If you wish to use a React component you created, you'll need to be sure to
transfer prop.

#### Props:

`js
//
// Types:
//
type DraggableEventHandler = (e: Event, data: DraggableData) => void | false;
type DraggableData = {
node: HTMLElement,
// lastX + deltaX === x
x: number, y: number,
deltaX: number, deltaY: number,
lastX: number, lastY: number
};

//
// Props:
//
{
// If set to true, will allow dragging on non left-button clicks.
allowAnyClick: boolean,

// Determines which axis the draggable can move. This only affects
// flushing to the DOM. Callbacks will still include all values.
// Accepted values:
// - both allows movement horizontally and vertically (default).
// - x limits movement to horizontal axis.
// - y limits movement to vertical axis.
// - 'none' stops all movement.
axis: string,

// Specifies movement boundaries. Accepted values:
// - parent restricts movement within the node's offsetParent
// (nearest node with position relative or absolute), or
// - a selector, restricts movement within the targeted node
// - An object with left, top, right, and bottom properties.
// These indicate how far in each direction the draggable
// can be moved.
bounds: {left?: number, top?: number, right?: number, bottom?: number} | string,

// Specifies a selector to be used to prevent drag initialization. The string is passed to
// Element.matches, so it's possible to use multiple selectors like .first, .second.
// Example: '.body'
cancel: string,

// Class names for draggable UI.
// Default to 'react-draggable', 'react-draggable-dragging', and 'react-draggable-dragged'
defaultClassName: string,
defaultClassNameDragging: string,
defaultClassNameDragged: string,

// Specifies the x and y that the dragged item should start at.
// This is generally not necessary to use (you can use absolute or relative
// positioning of the child directly), but can be helpful for uniformity in
// your callbacks and with css transforms.
defaultPosition: {x: number, y: number},

// If true, will not call any drag handlers.
disabled: boolean,

// Specifies the x and y that dragging should snap to.
grid: [number, number],

// Specifies a selector to be used as the handle that initiates drag.
// Example: '.handle'
handle: string,

// If desired, you can provide your own offsetParent for drag calculations.
// By default, we use the Draggable's offsetParent. This can be useful for elements
// with odd display types or floats.
offsetParent: HTMLElement,

// Called whenever the user mouses down. Called regardless of handle or
// disabled status.
onMouseDown: (e: MouseEvent) => void,

// Called when dragging starts. If false is returned any handler,
// the action will cancel.
onStart: DraggableEventHandler,

// Called while dragging.
onDrag: DraggableEventHandler,

// Called when dragging stops.
onStop: DraggableEventHandler,

// If running in React Strict mode, ReactDOM.findDOMNode() is deprecated.
// Unfortunately, in order for to work properly, we need raw access
// to the underlying DOM node. If you want to avoid the warning, pass a nodeRef
// as in this example:
//
// function MyComponent() {
// const nodeRef = React.useRef(null);
// return (
//
//

Example Target

//
// );
// }
//
// This can be used for arbitrarily nested components, so long as the ref ends up
// pointing to the actual child DOM node and not a custom component.
//
// For rich components, you need to both forward the ref and props to the underlying DOM
// element. Props must be forwarded so that DOM event handlers can be attached.
// For example:
//
// const Component1 = React.forwardRef(function (props, ref) {
// return

Nested component

;
// });
//
// const nodeRef = React.useRef(null);
//
//
//
//
// Thanks to react-transition-group for the inspiration.
//
// nodeRef is also available on .
nodeRef: React.Ref,

// Much like React form elements, if this property is present, the item
// becomes 'controlled' and is not responsive to user input. Use position
// if you need to have direct control of the element.
position: {x: number, y: number}

// A position offset to start with. Useful for giving an initial position
// to the element. Differs from defaultPosition in that it does not
// affect the position returned in draggable callbacks, and in that it
// accepts strings, like {x: '10%', y: '10%'}.
positionOffset: {x: number | string, y: number | string},

// Specifies the scale of the canvas your are dragging this element on. This allows
// you to, for example, get the correct drag deltas while you are zoomed in or out via
// a transform or matrix in the parent of this element.
scale: number
}
`


Note that sending className, style, or transform as properties will error - set them on the child element
directly.

Controlled vs. Uncontrolled

is a 'batteries-included' component that manages its own state. If you want to completely
control the lifecycle of the component, use .

For some users, they may want the nice state management that provides, but occasionally want
to programmatically reposition their components. allows this customization via a system that
is similar to how React handles form components.

If the prop position: {x: number, y: number} is defined, the will ignore its internal state and use
the provided position instead. Alternatively, you can seed the position using defaultPosition. Technically, since
works only on position deltas, you could also seed the initial position using CSS top/left.

We make one modification to the React philosophy here - we still allow dragging while a component is controlled.
We then expect you to use at least an onDrag or onStop handler to synchronize state.

To disable dragging while controlled, send the prop disabled={true} - at this point the will operate
like a completely static component.





For users that require absolute control, a element is available. This is useful as an abstraction
over touch and mouse events, but with full control. has no internal state.

See React-Resizable and
React-Grid-Layout for some usage examples.

is a useful building block for other libraries that simply want to abstract browser-specific
quirks and receive callbacks when a user attempts to move an element. It does not set styles or transforms
on itself and thus must have callbacks attached to be useful.

$3

takes a limited subset of options:

`js
{
allowAnyClick: boolean,
cancel: string,
disabled: boolean,
enableUserSelectHack: boolean,
offsetParent: HTMLElement,
grid: [number, number],
handle: string,
onStart: DraggableEventHandler,
onDrag: DraggableEventHandler,
onStop: DraggableEventHandler,
onMouseDown: (e: MouseEvent) => void,
scale: number
}
`

Note that there is no start position. simply calls drag handlers with the below parameters,
indicating its position (as inferred from the underlying MouseEvent) and deltas. It is up to the parent
to set actual positions on .

Drag callbacks (onStart, onDrag, onStop) are called with the same arguments as .
