Example: Drag - Proxy

Jump to Table of Contents

Setting up the Node

First we need to create an HTML Node to make draggable.

<div id="demo">Drag Me</div>

Now we give that Node some CSS to make it visible.

#demo {
 height: 100px;
 width: 100px;
 border: 1px solid black;
 background-color: #8DD5E7;
 cursor: move;
}

Setting up the YUI Instance

Now we need to create our YUI instance and tell it to load the dd-drag and dd-proxy modules.

YUI().use('dd-drag', 'dd-proxy');

Making the Node draggable

Now that we have a YUI instance with the dd-drag and dd-proxy modules, we need to instantiate the Drag instance on this Node and add the DDProxy plugin.

YUI().use('dd-drag', 'dd-proxy', function(Y) {
 //Selector of the node to make draggable
 var dd = new Y.DD.Drag({
 node: '#demo',
 }).plug(Y.Plugin.DDProxy); //This config option makes the node a Proxy Drag
});
