Basic Draggable With Angularjs

Are you looking to enhance your web development skills with AngularJS? Want to add some interactivity to your applications by incorporating basic draggable elements? Look no further! In this article, we'll guide you through the steps to create a basic draggable feature using AngularJS. So, let's dive in and get started!

First things first, before we begin implementing the draggable functionality, make sure you have AngularJS set up in your project. If you haven't already included AngularJS, you can easily do so by adding the script tag to your HTML file:

Once you've added AngularJS to your project, the next step is to create the draggable directive in your AngularJS module. Directives play a crucial role in AngularJS applications, allowing you to extend HTML with custom attributes. Here's how you can define a basic draggable directive:

angular.module('myApp', [])
  .directive('draggable', function() {
    return {
      restrict: 'A',
      link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
        element.draggable();
      }
    };
  });

In the above code snippet, we created a directive called 'draggable' that uses the link function to make the element draggable. The `draggable()` method is a jQuery UI function that enables drag-and-drop functionality on the element.

Now that we have our directive in place, let's see how we can utilize it in our HTML markup. You can simply add the 'draggable' attribute to the element you want to make draggable:

<div style="width: 100px;height: 100px;background-color: lightblue">
  Drag me around!
</div>

By adding the 'draggable' attribute to the `

[draggable] {
  cursor: pointer;
  position: absolute;
}
