If you've never looked into using the HTML Drag and Drop API, I've created a super simple code example that uses the least code possible to demonstrate how simple it is to allow one element to be dragged into another one on a web page.

First, here's the HTML:

<div id="box" draggable="true"></div>
<div id="dropzone"></div>

Notice the draggable attribute set to true, and the IDs that I'll use as hooks in the JavaScript. Here's the JavaScript:

let box = document.getElementById('box'),
    dropzone = document.getElementById('dropzone');

dropzone.addEventListener('dragover', function (e) {
  e.preventDefault();
});

dropzone.addEventListener('drop', function (e) {
  e.target.appendChild(box);
});

Here I'm listening for the dragover and drop events to ensure that the element gets moved properly. The move itself is accomplished using the well-known appendChild() method.

And that's it! Aside from the variable declarations, it's just 6 lines of JavaScript. This code on its own isn't going to do a whole lot. All it does is drag the 'box' element into the 'dropzone' element.

You can see this in action in this CodePen demo, which also includes a little extra code that does the following:

  • Adds some styles to indicate that the box is draggable and that the dropzone is being dragged over
  • Listens for the dragend event to remove styles indicating that the box is draggable and disables the 'dragged over' styles
  • Switches the draggable attribute to false
There's a lot more that I could discuss about the API but this should suffice to give you a starting point, after which you can use a resource like the one on MDN to go deeper.
 

Now on to this week's tools!
