Extensions
dragHandle
A grip that appears beside the block under the pointer, and drags it.
One element, moved, rather than a widget decoration per block. A decoration per block would put a handle in the document's decoration set for every paragraph — thousands on a long document, all recomputed whenever anything changes — to show one at a time.
The handle sits outside the editable element and is `contenteditable="false"` regardless, so it can never take the caret or become part of the document.
1 · Install
One package for every extension · there is no @matrajs/dragHandle to install.
npm i @matrajs/core2 · Add it to the editor
Import it and put it in the extensions array. That array is the whole feature list:
what is not in it is not in your bundle and not in the document's schema.
import { createEditor, document, paragraph, text, dragHandle } from '@matrajs/core'
const editor = createEditor({
extensions: [document, paragraph, text, dragHandle({ … })],
element: document.querySelector('#editor'),
})3 · Use it
Nothing to call · this one works once it is in the array. A grip that appears beside the block under the pointer, and drags it.
Options
dragHandle is a function · call it with an options object.
| Option | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
render | () => HTMLElement | Build your own handle. Default is a six-dot grip. |
offset | number | Distance from the block's left edge, in pixels. |
Styling
This one needs CSS to look right, and ships the minimum as a string rather than a file · nothing loads unless you load it, and you can ignore it and write your own.
import { dragHandleCSS } from '@matrajs/core'
const style = document.createElement('style')
style.textContent = dragHandleCSS
document.head.append(style)
