SlickList Component

The SlickList contains several SlickItem

Props

tag

type: string

default: div

The HTML tag that will render in the DOM.

list

type: any[]

Required

The list can be inherited from v-model:list but has to be set to the same list that is rendered with v-for inside the SlickList.

group

type: string

The group that this list belongs to. By default, the group is not set and items cannot be dragged in or out of the list. When the group is set, all lists in that group can drag between each other.

WARNING

Setting the group prop requires the Slicksort vue plugin to be installed in your app.

accept

type: true | string[] | ({ source, dest, payload }) => boolean

default: null

The groups that can be dragged into this container. If true, the list will accept items from all other lists. If string[], the list will accept groups listed. If a function is passed, it should return a boolean, where true means the item is acceptable. The function will be called with a context object with the following properties:

  • source: The drag source component, with properties like group, list, and others
  • dest: The drag destination component, with the same properties as the source
  • payload: the data value of the item that is being dragged

block

type: string[]

default: []

Allows you to block specific groups. This will override accept: true, to allow all but a few groups.

axis

type: string

default: y

Items can be sorted horizontally, vertically or in a grid. Possible values: x, y or xy

lockAxis

type: string

If you'd like, you can lock movement to an axis while sorting. This is not something that is possible with HTML5 Drag & Drop

helperClass

type: string

You can provide a class you'd like to add to the sortable helper to add some styles to it

appendTo

type: string (Query selector)

default: body

This is the element that the sortable helper is added to when sorting begins. You would change this if you would like to encapsulate the drag helper within a positioned or scrolled container.

transitionDuration

type: number

default: 300

The duration of the transition when elements shift positions. Set this to 0 if you'd like to disable transitions

draggedSettlingDuration

type: number

default: transitionDuration

Override the settling duration for the drag helper. If not set, transitionDuration will be used.

pressDelay

type: number

default: 0

If you'd like elements to only become sortable after being pressed for a certain time, change this property. A good sensible default value for mobile is 200. Cannot be used in conjunction with the distance prop.

pressThreshold

type: number

default: 5

Number of pixels of movement to tolerate before ignoring a press event.

distance

type: number

default: 0

If you'd like elements to only become sortable after being dragged a certain number of pixels. Cannot be used in conjunction with the pressDelay prop.

cancelKey

type: string

default: "Escape"

The key that will stop the current drag and return the element to its original position. Fires @sort-cancel when complete. This can be any KeyboardEvent.key value.

useDragHandle

type: boolean

default: false

If you're using the HandleDirective, set this to true

useWindowAsScrollContainer

type: boolean

default: false

If you want, you can set the window as the scrolling container

hideSortableGhost

type: boolean

default: true

Whether to auto-hide the ghost element. By default, as a convenience, Vue Slicksort List will automatically hide the element that is currently being sorted. Set this to false if you would like to apply your own styling.

lockToContainerEdges

type: boolean

default: false

You can lock movement of the sortable element to it's parent Container

lockOffset

type: OffsetValue or [ OffsetValue, OffsetValue ]*

default: "50%"

When lockToContainerEdges is set to true, this controls the offset distance between the sortable helper and the top/bottom edges of it's parent Container. Percentage values are relative to the height of the item currently being sorted. If you wish to specify different behaviours for locking to the top of the container vs the bottom, you may also pass in an array (For example: ["0%", "100%"]).

* OffsetValue can either be a finite Number or a String made up of a number and a unit (px or %). Examples: 10 (which is the same as "10px"), "50%"

shouldCancelStart

type: Function

default: Function

This function is invoked before sorting begins, and can be used to programatically cancel sorting before it begins. By default, it will cancel sorting if the event target is either an input, textarea, select or option.

getHelperDimensions

type: Function

default: Function

Optional function({node, index}) that should return the computed dimensions of the SortableHelper. See default implementation for more details

Events

Events are emitted from the Container element, and can be bound to using v-bind or @ directives

@sort-start

emits: { event: MouseEvent, node: HTMLElement, index: number }

Fired when sorting begins.

@sort-move

emits: { event }

Fired when the mouse is moved during sorting.

@sort-end

emits: { event, newIndex, oldIndex }

Fired when sorting has ended.

@sort-cancel

emits: { event, newIndex, oldIndex }

Fired when sorting has been canceled. YOu can set which key cancels a drag with the cancelKey prop.

@sort-insert

emits: { newIndex, value }

Fired when an item is dragged from another list into this one

@sort-remove

emits: { oldIndex }

Fired when an item is dragged from this list and dropped in another

@update:list

emits: Array

Fired after sorting has ended with the newly sorted list. This is compatible with v-model:list.

Slots

default

scope: none

The Your list of SlickItems goes here

item (scoped)

scope: { item }

This is a scoped slot that will repeat for every item in list. This should be used in place of the default slot for making easier sortable list.
