Drag and Drop functionality in Lightning Web Component

Hi,

Here we are going to learn how to achieve drag and drop functionality in Lightning Web Component.

Its very simple if we understand the following things.


draggable:

It is an attribute to make an element draggable by setting the value as "true".

Drag and Drop Events:

ondragstart:
It fires when the user starts dragging of the object.

ondrop:
The drop event is fired on the element where the drop occurred at the end of the drag operation.

ondragover:
This event is fired as the mouse is moved over an element when a drag is occurring. Much of the time, the operation that occurs during a listener will be the same as the dragenter event.

How to set the data on drag:

dataTransfer.setData(format,value Of the dragged Data)

How to get the data on drop:
event.dataTransfer.getData(“format");

preventDefault()

it is a method of "event" object to prevent browser default handling of the data(default is open as a link on the drop)

Eg;

Let's have 2 LWC components
1)dragger_component - from where we drag the element

,2)drop_component  - the location which we want to drop

3)Accountcls - apex class which returns account records

Please follow links for source code (GitHub(Salesforce Techbook)) and video demo from my channel (Salesforce Techbook)

Source Code:
dragger_component:
drop_component:
Accountcls:
Video Link:

Output:


Note: It doesn't support Salesforce 1 mobile application.
