Note: Read the API tab to find all available options and advanced customization

Draggable basic example

By adding mdbDraggable directive you can make your custom element draggable.

Drag me!

<div mdbDraggable class="draggable shadow-1-strong">
  <p>Drag me!</p>
</div>
.draggable {
  display: flex;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: white;
}

.draggable-dragging {
  box-shadow: 0 5px 15px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.21) !important;
}

Custom container

If you want to have your draggable component in a container, just add boundaryElement directive with selector to your component.

Drag me!

<section
  #draggableContainer
  class="border p-4 mb-4"
  style="height: 400px; overflow: hidden;"
>
  <div mdbDraggable class="draggable shadow-1-strong" [boundaryElement]="draggableContainer">
    <p>Drag me!</p>
  </div>
</section>
.draggable {
  display: flex;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: white;
}

.draggable-dragging {
  box-shadow: 0 5px 15px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.21) !important;
}

Blocked axis

Thanks to [lockAxis] input you can disable x or y axis.

Drag me!

Drag me!

<div mdbDraggable class="draggable shadow-1-strong" [lockAxis]="'x'">
  <p>Drag me!</p>
</div>
<div mdbDraggable class="draggable shadow-1-strong" [lockAxis]="'y'">
  <p>Drag me!</p>
</div>
.draggable {
  display: flex;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: white;
}

.draggable-dragging {
  box-shadow: 0 5px 15px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.21) !important;
}

Delay

You can set deley of starting dragging by adding [delay] input with miliseconds value.

Drag me after one second!

<div mdbDraggable [delay]="1000" class="draggable shadow-1-strong">
  <p>Drag me after one second!</p>
</div>
.draggable {
  display: flex;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: white;
}

.draggable-dragging {
  box-shadow: 0 5px 15px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.21) !important;
}

Disabled

You can set your draggable element as disabled by adding [disabled] with true value.

Disabled

<div mdbDraggable [disabled]="true" class="draggable shadow-1-strong">
  <p>Disabled</p>
</div>
.draggable {
  display: flex;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: white;
}

.draggable-dragging {
  box-shadow: 0 5px 15px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.21) !important;
}

Custom drag button

By adding [handle] input with element or element selector you can set drag handler of your element. Note that drag handler has to be inside an element.

Drag only on button!

<div mdbDraggable [handle]="handle" class="draggable shadow-1-strong">
  <i #handle class="fas fa-arrows-alt draggable-drag-ico"></i>
  <p>Drag only on button!</p>
</div>
.draggable {
  display: flex;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: white;
  position: relative;
}

.draggable-dragging {
  box-shadow: 0 5px 15px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.21) !important;
}

.draggable-drag-ico {
  position: absolute;
  top: 10px;
  right: 10px;
  font-size: 1.5rem;
  color: grey;
}

Scrolling option

When your draggable element is inside a scrollable container your component will scroll its while you will be near the edge.

Drag!

<div mdbDraggable [autoScroll]="true" class="draggable shadow-1-strong">
  <p>Drag!</p>
</div>
.draggable {
  display: flex;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: white;
  position: relative;
}

.draggable-dragging {
  box-shadow: 0 5px 15px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.21) !important;
}

.draggable-drag-ico {
  position: absolute;
  top: 10px;
  right: 10px;
  font-size: 1.5rem;
  color: grey;
}

Sortable basic example

By adding mdbSortableContainer directive you can add sortable functionality to the items in a container. Note, only elements with mdbDraggable directive name will be able to sort.

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4
Item 5
<div mdbSortableContainer class="sortable-list" (itemDrop)="onDrop($event)">
  <div mdbDraggable *ngFor="let item of items" class="sortable-item">{{ item.name }}</div>
</div>
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { moveItemsInContainer, MdbDropEvent } from 'mdb-angular-drag-and-drop';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})
export class AppComponent {
  items = [
    { name: 'Item 1' },
    { name: 'Item 2' },
    { name: 'Item 3' },
    { name: 'Item 4' },
    { name: 'Item 5' }
  ];

  onDrop(event: MdbDropEvent) {
    moveItemsInContainer(this.items, event.previousIndex, event.newIndex);
  }
};
.sortable-list {
  width: 500px;
  max-width: 100%;
  border: solid 1px #ccc;
  min-height: 60px;
  display: block;
  background: #fff;
  border-radius: 4px;
}

.sortable-item {
  padding: 20px 10px;
  border-bottom: solid 1px #ccc;
  color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87);
  background: #fff;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: space-between;
  user-select: none;
}

.sortable-item:last-child {
  border: none;
}

.draggable-helper {
  box-shadow: 0 5px 15px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.21) !important;
}

Horizontal example

Sortable list will create no matter how rotated it is.

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4
Item 5
<div mdbSortableContainer class="sortable-list d-flex" (itemDrop)="onDrop($event)">
  <div mdbDraggable *ngFor="let item of items" class="sortable-item">{{ item.name }}</div>
</div>
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { moveItemsInContainer, MdbDropEvent } from 'mdb-angular-drag-and-drop';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})
export class AppComponent {
  items = [
    { name: 'Item 1' },
    { name: 'Item 2' },
    { name: 'Item 3' },
    { name: 'Item 4' },
    { name: 'Item 5' }
  ];

  onDrop(event: MdbDropEvent) {
    moveItemsInContainer(this.items, event.previousIndex, event.newIndex);
  }
};
.sortable-list {
  width: 500px;
  max-width: 100%;
  border: solid 1px #ccc;
  min-height: 60px;
  display: block;
  background: #fff;
  border-radius: 4px;
}

.sortable-item {
  padding: 20px 10px;
  width: 100%;
  border-bottom: none;
  border-left: 1px solid #ccc;
  border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
  color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87);
  background: #fff;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: space-between;
  user-select: none;
}

.sortable-item:last-child {
  border: none;
}

.draggable-helper {
  box-shadow: 0 5px 15px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.21) !important;
}

Grid example

Sortable list works with grid as well.

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4
Item 5
Item 6
Item 7
Item 8
Item 9
Item 10
Item 11

</div>
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { moveItemsInContainer, MdbDropEvent } from 'mdb-angular-drag-and-drop';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})
export class AppComponent {
  items = [
    { name: 'Item 1' },
    { name: 'Item 2' },
    { name: 'Item 3' },

    { name: 'Item 10' },
    { name: 'Item 11' },
    { name: 'Item 12' },
  ];

  onDrop(event: MdbDropEvent) {
    moveItemsInContainer(this.items, event.previousIndex, event.newIndex);
  }
};
.sortable-list {
  width: 500px;
  max-width: 100%;
  min-height: 60px;
