This directive development will be discontinued which means it is usable only in Angular 1.x.
If you are looking for Angular 1.2 compatible version, Angular-UI ui-sortable directive does exactly the same thing.
Starting from version 0.0.2 this component is available via Bower package manager.
This AngularJS directive allows effectively using JQuery UI sortable plugin with connectWith option giving ability to create portlet-like UIs.
It was built partially on angular-ui-sortable "uiSortable" directive and it keeps its core functionality.
For complete example see example directory.
Suppose model (in AngularJS) is defined as follows
$scope.items = {
todo: [
{name: 'todo 1'},
{name: 'todo 2'},
{name: 'todo 3'},
{name: 'todo 4'}
],
done: [
{name: 'done 1'},
{name: 'done 2'},
]
};
Define global sortable options that will be provided to underlying jQuery sortable plugin. Here we need to provide connectWith option to link several sortables together.
angular.module('ui.sortable').value('uiSortableConfig', {
sortable: {
connectWith: '.column',
update: 'itemsChanged',
}
});
Define UI part as below, using ui-multi-sortable directive and model-subset attribute to point actual items' subset.
<body ng-controller="TaskboardController">
<div ui-multi-sortable ng-model="items" model-subset="todo" class="column">
<div class="item" ng-repeat="item in items.todo">{{ item.name }}</div>
</div>
<div ui-multi-sortable ng-model="items" model-subset="done" class="column">
<div class="item" ng-repeat="item in items.done">{{ item.name }}</div>
</div>
</body>
model-subset can be more sophisticated expression that Angular can evaluate, e.g.:
columns[{{ $index }}].items
See example directory for such use-case.
It is possible to hook up own callbacks into update, start and stop events in sortable. Callbacks can be either Angular $scope functions or regular functions (outside Angular context).
To invoke $scope function, name of this function should be provided instead of function reference.
Example of defining callbacks:
angular.module('ui.sortable').value('uiSortableConfig', {
sortable: {
connectWith: '.column',
update: 'changed', // $scope function called 'changed' will be invoked within Angular context
start: function() { console.log('modification started'); // regular function will be invoked
}
});
First version of component. Works with older versions of Angular-UI components (before project was split)
Dependencies updated to 1.0.7for AngularJS itself and 0.0.1 for angular-ui-sortable. This version isn't backward compatible due to changes in foundation components (angular-ui-sortable).
