Drag Handle vue extension

VersionDownloads

Have you ever wanted to drag nodes around your vue-based editor? Well, we did too—so here’s an extension for that.

The DragHandleVue component allows you to easily handle dragging nodes around in the editor. You can define custom render functions, placement, and more. It essentially wraps the DragHandle extension in a vue component that will automatically register/unregister the extension with the editor.

Install

npm install @tiptap/extension-drag-handle-vue-3 @tiptap/extension-drag-handle @tiptap/extension-node-range @tiptap/extension-collaboration @tiptap/y-tiptap yjs y-protocols

Vue 2 vs. Vue 3

There are two versions of the DragHandle extension available. Make sure to install the correct version for your Vue version. @tiptap/extension-drag-handle-vue-2 and @tiptap/extension-drag-handle-vue-3

Props

All props follow the same structure as the DragHandle extension.

children

The content that should be displayed inside of the drag handle.

<drag-handle>
  <div>Drag Me!</div>
</drag-handle>

computePositionConfig

Configuration for position computation of the drag handle using the floating-ui/dom package. You can pass any options that are available in the floating-ui documentation.

Default: { placement: 'left-start', strategy: 'absolute' }

<drag-handle :compute-position-config="{ placement: 'left', strategy: 'fixed' }">
  <div>Drag Me!</div>
</drag-handle>

onNodeChange

Returns a node or null when a node is hovered over. This can be used to highlight the node that is currently hovered over.

Default: undefined

<template>
  <drag-handle @nodeChange="handleNodeChange">
    <div>Drag Me!</div>
  </drag-handle>
</template>

<script>
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { DragHandle } from '@tiptap/extension-drag-handle-vue-3'

export default {
  components: {
    DragHandle,
  },
  setup() {
    const selectedNode = ref(null)

    const handleNodeChange = ({ node, editor, pos }) => {
      selectedNode.value = node
      // do something with the node
    }

    return {
      selectedNode,
      handleNodeChange,
    }
  },
}
</script>

getReferencedVirtualElement

A function that returns the virtual element for the drag handle. This is useful when the menu needs to be positioned relative to a specific DOM element.

Default: undefined

<template>
  <drag-handle :get-referenced-virtual-element="getVirtualElement">
    <div>Drag Me!</div>
  </drag-handle>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  setup() {
    const getVirtualElement = () => {
      // Return a virtual element for custom positioning
      return null
    }

    return {
      getVirtualElement,
    }
  },
}
</script>

locked

Locks the draghandle in place and visibility. If the drag handle was visible, it will remain visible until unlocked. If it was hidden, it will remain hidden until unlocked.

Default: false

<drag-handle :locked="true">
  <div>Drag Me!</div>
</drag-handle>

pluginKey

The key that should be used to store the plugin in the editor. This is useful if you have multiple drag handles in the same editor.

Default: undefined

<drag-handle pluginKey="myCustomDragHandle">
  <div>Drag Me!</div>
</drag-handle>

Commands

See the DragHandle extension for available editor commands.
