# Sortable
Sortable is a minimalist JavaScript library for reorderable drag-and-drop lists.

Demo: http://rubaxa.github.io/Sortable/


## Features

 * Supports touch devices and [modern](http://caniuse.com/#search=drag) browsers
 * Can drag from one list to another or within the same list
 * CSS animation when moving items
 * Supports drag handles *and selectable text* (better than voidberg's html5sortable)
 * Smart auto-scrolling
 * Built using native HTML5 drag and drop API
 * Supports [AngularJS](#ng) and and any CSS library, e.g. [Bootstrap](#bs)
 * Simple API
 * No jQuery


### Usage
```html
<ul id="items">
	<li>item 1</li>
	<li>item 2</li>
	<li>item 3</li>
</ul>
```

```js
var el = document.getElementById('items');
var sortable = Sortable.create(el);
```

You can use any element for the list and its elements, not just `ul`/`li`. Here is an [example with `div`s](http://jsbin.com/luxero/2/edit?html,js,output).

### Options
```js
var sortable = new Sortable(el, {
	group: "name",  // or { name: "...", pull: [true, false, clone], put: [true, false, array] }
	sort: true,  // sorting inside list
	disabled: false, // Disables the sortable if set to true.
	store: null,  // @see Store
	animation: 150,  // ms, animation speed moving items when sorting, `0` — without animation
	handle: ".my-handle",  // Drag handle selector within list items
	filter: ".ignore-elements",  // Selectors that do not lead to dragging (String or Function)
	draggable: ".item",  // Specifies which items inside the element should be sortable
	ghostClass: "sortable-ghost",  // Class name for the drop placeholder
	
	scroll: true, // or HTMLElement
	scrollSensitivity: 30, // px, how near the mouse must be to an edge to start scrolling.
	scrollSpeed: 10, // px
	
	setData: function (dataTransfer, dragEl) {
		dataTransfer.setData('Text', dragEl.textContent);
	},

	// dragging started
	onStart: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		evt.oldIndex;  // element index within parent
	},
	
	// dragging ended
	onEnd: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		evt.oldIndex;  // element's old index within parent
		evt.newIndex;  // element's new index within parent
	},

	// Element is dropped into the list from another list
	onAdd: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		var itemEl = evt.item;  // dragged HTMLElement
		itemEl.from;  // previous list
		// + indexes from onEnd
	},

	// Changed sorting within list
	onUpdate: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		var itemEl = evt.item;  // dragged HTMLElement
		// + indexes from onEnd
	},

	// Called by any change to the list (add / update / remove)
	onSort: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		// same properties as onUpdate
	},

	// Element is removed from the list into another list
	onRemove: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		// same properties as onUpdate
	},

	// Attempt to drag a filtered element
	onFilter: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		var itemEl = evt.item;  // HTMLElement receiving the `mousedown|tapstart` event.
	}
});
```

#### `group` option
To drag elements from one list into another, both lists must have the same `group` value.
You can also define whether lists can give away, give and keep a copy (`clone`), and receive elements.

 * name: `String` — group name
 * pull: `true|false|'clone'` — ability to move from the list. `clone` — copy the item, rather than move.
 * put: `true|false|["foo", "bar"]` — whether elements can be added from other lists, or an array of group names from which elements can be taken. Demo: http://jsbin.com/naduvo/2/edit?html,js,output


---


#### `sort` option
Sorting inside list

Demo: http://jsbin.com/xizeh/2/edit?html,js,output


---


#### `disabled` options
Disables the sortable if set to `true`.

Demo: http://jsbin.com/xiloqu/1/edit?html,js,output

```js
var sortable = Sortable.create(list);

document.getElementById("switcher").onclick = function () {
	var state = sortable.option("disabled"); // get

	sortable.option("disabled", !state); // set
};
```


---


#### `handle` option
To make list items draggable, Sortable disables text selection by the user.
That's not always desirable. To allow text selection, define a drag handler,
which is an area of every list element that allows it to be dragged around.

Demo: http://jsbin.com/newize/1/edit?html,js,output

```js
Sortable.create(el, {
	handle: ".my-handle"
});
```

```html
<ul>
	<li><span class="my-handle">::</span> list item text one
	<li><span class="my-handle">::</span> list item text two
</ul>
```

```css
.my-handle {
	cursor: move;
	cursor: -webkit-grabbing;
}
```


---


#### `filter` option


```js
Sortable.create(list, {
	filter: ".js-remove, .js-edit",
	onFilter: function (evt) {
		var item = el.item,
			ctrl = evt.target;

		if (Sortable.utils.is(ctrl, ".js-remove")) {  // Click on remove button
			item.parentNode.removeChild(item); // remove sortable item
		}
		else if (Sortable.utils.is(ctrl, ".js-edit")) {  // Click on edit link
			// ...
		}
	}
})
```


---


#### `ghostClass` option
Class name for the drop placeholder.

Demo: http://jsbin.com/boqugumiqi/1/edit?css,js,output

```css
.ghost {
  opacity: 0.4;
}
```

```js
Sortable.create(list, {
  ghostClass: "ghost"
});
```


---


#### `scroll` option
If set to `true`, the page (or sortable-area) scrolls when coming to an edge.

Demo:
 - `window`: http://jsbin.com/boqugumiqi/1/edit?html,js,output 
 - `overflow: hidden`: http://jsbin.com/kohamakiwi/1/edit?html,js,output


---


#### `scrollSensitivity` option
Defines how near the mouse must be to an edge to start scrolling.


---


#### `scrollSpeed` option
The speed at which the window should scroll once the mouse pointer gets within the `scrollSensitivity` distance.


---


<a name="ng"></a>
### Support AngularJS
Include [ng-sortable.js](ng-sortable.js)

Demo: http://jsbin.com/naduvo/1/edit?html,js,output

```html
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="demo">
	<ul ng-sortable>
		<li ng-repeat="item in items">{{item}}</li>
	</ul>

	<ul ng-sortable="{ group: 'foobar' }">
		<li ng-repeat="item in foo">{{item}}</li>
	</ul>

	<ul ng-sortable="barConfig">
		<li ng-repeat="item in bar">{{item}}</li>
	</ul>
</div>
```


```js
angular.module('myApp', ['ng-sortable'])
	.controller('demo', ['$scope', function ($scope) {
		$scope.items = ['item 1', 'item 2'];
		$scope.foo = ['foo 1', '..'];
		$scope.bar = ['bar 1', '..'];
		$scope.barConfig = { group: 'foobar', animation: 150 };
	}]);
```

### Method


##### option(name:`String`[, value:`*`]):`*`
Get or set the option.



##### closest(el:`String`[, selector:`HTMLElement`]):`HTMLElement|null`
For each element in the set, get the first element that matches the selector by testing the element itself and traversing up through its ancestors in the DOM tree.


##### toArray():`String[]`
Serializes the sortable's item `data-id`'s into an array of string.


##### sort(order:`String[]`)
Sorts the elements according to the array.

```js
var order = sortable.toArray();
sortable.sort(order.reverse()); // apply
```


##### destroy()
Removes the sortable functionality completely.


---


### Store
Saving and restoring of the sort.

```html
<ul>
	<li data-id="1">order</li>
	<li data-id="2">save</li>
	<li data-id="3">restore</li>
</ul>
```

```js
Sortable.create(el, {
	group: "localStorage-example",
	store: {
		/**
		 * Get the order of elements. Called once during initialization.
		 * @param   {Sortable}  sortable
		 * @returns {Array}
		 */
		get: function (sortable) {
			var order = localStorage.getItem(sortable.options.group);
			return order ? order.split('|') : [];
		},

		/**
		 * Save the order of elements. Called onEnd (when the item is dropped).
		 * @param {Sortable}  sortable
		 */
		set: function (sortable) {
			var order = sortable.toArray();
			localStorage.setItem(sortable.options.group, order.join('|'));
		}
	}
})
```
