This example shows how to use the Drop Target events to code your application.
First we need to create the HTML for the example.
``` {{>drop-code-source-html}} ```Now we give the HTML some CSS to make them visible.
``` {{>drop-code-source-css}} ```Now we need to create our YUI instance and tell it to load the dd-drop and dd-constrain modules.
Now that we have a YUI instance with the dd-drop module, we need to instantiate the Drag instance on each Drag Node.
In this example we are using the data config option of the drag to associate data with this Drag instance.
So we have set up an object literal containing information about our drag items.
``` var data = { 'drag1': { color: 'white', size: 'x-small', price: '$5.00' }, 'drag2': { color: 'blue', size: 'small', price: '$6.00' }, 'drag3': { color: 'green', size: 'medium', price: '$7.00' }, 'drag4': { color: 'red', size: 'large', price: '$10.00' }, 'drag5': { color: 'purple', size: 'x-large', price: '$15.00' } }; ```Now we walk through the nodes and create a drag instance from each of them.
``` YUI().use('dd-drop', 'dd-constrain', function(Y) { //Data to attach to each drag object var data = { 'drag1': { color: 'white', size: 'x-small', price: '$5.00' }, 'drag2': { color: 'blue', size: 'small', price: '$6.00' }, 'drag3': { color: 'green', size: 'medium', price: '$7.00' }, 'drag4': { color: 'red', size: 'large', price: '$10.00' }, 'drag5': { color: 'purple', size: 'x-large', price: '$15.00' } }; //Get all the divs with the class drag var drags = Y.Node.all('#play div.drag'); //Walk through each one drags.each(function(v, k) { //scope a local var for the data var thisData = {}; //Using Y.mix to break this data from the data above Y.mix(thisData, data[v.get('id')]); //Create the new Drag Instance var dd = new Y.DD.Drag({ //Give it the node node: v, //Set the dragMode to intersect dragMode: 'intersect', //Attach the data here. data: thisData }).plug(Y.Plugin.DDConstrained, { //Keep it inside the work area constrain2node: '#play' }); //Prevent the default end event (this moves the node back to its start position) dd.on('drag:end', function(e) { e.preventDefault(); }); }); }); ```Here we set up the Drop Target and assign a listener to it.
``` var drop = new Y.DD.Drop({ node: '#drop' }); //Listen for a drop:hit on this target drop.on('drop:hit', function(e) { //Now we get the drag instance that triggered the drop hit var drag = e.drag; //get the data from it var data = drag.get('data'); //Do something with the data var out = ['id: ' + drag.get('node').get('id')]; Y.each(data, function(v, k) { out[out.length] = k + ': ' + v; }); var str = 'Dropped: ' + out.join(', ') + '
'; this.get('node').set('innerHTML', str); }); ```
