### Install

Via npm

```bash
$ npm install sortablejs --save
```

Via bower:

```bash
$ bower install --save sortablejs
```

<br/>

### Usage
```html
<ul id="items">
	<li>item 1</li>
	<li>item 2</li>
	<li>item 3</li>
</ul>
```

```js
var el = document.getElementById('items');
var sortable = Sortable.create(el);
```

You can use any element for the list and its elements, not just `ul`/`li`. Here is an [example with `div`s](http://jsbin.com/qumuwe/edit?html,js,output).

		var cloneEl = evt.clone;
	}
});
```

#### `group` option
To drag elements from one list into another, both lists must have the same `group` value.
You can also define whether lists can give away, give and keep a copy (`clone`), and receive elements.

 * name: `String` — group name
 * pull: `true|false|'clone'|function` — ability to move from the list. `clone` — copy the item, rather than move.
 * put: `true|false|["foo", "bar"]|function` — whether elements can be added from other lists, or an array of group names from which elements can be taken.
 * revertClone: `boolean` — revert cloned element to initial position after moving to a another list.


Demo:
 - http://jsbin.com/naduvo/edit?js,output
 - http://jsbin.com/rusuvot/edit?js,output — use of complex logic in the `pull` and` put`
 - http://jsbin.com/magogub/edit?js,output — use `revertClone: true`


---


#### `sort` option
Sorting inside list.

Demo: http://jsbin.com/videzob/edit?html,js,output


---


#### `delay` option
Time in milliseconds to define when the sorting should start.

Demo: http://jsbin.com/xizeh/edit?html,js,output


---


#### `disabled` options
Disables the sortable if set to `true`.

Demo: http://jsbin.com/xiloqu/edit?html,js,output

```js
var sortable = Sortable.create(list);

document.getElementById("switcher").onclick = function () {
	var state = sortable.option("disabled"); // get

	sortable.option("disabled", !state); // set
};
```


---


#### `handle` option
To make list items draggable, Sortable disables text selection by the user.
That's not always desirable. To allow text selection, define a drag handler,
which is an area of every list element that allows it to be dragged around.

Demo: http://jsbin.com/newize/edit?html,js,output

```js
Sortable.create(el, {
	handle: ".my-handle"
});
```

```html
<ul>
	<li><span class="my-handle">::</span> list item text one
	<li><span class="my-handle">::</span> list item text two
</ul>
```

```css
.my-handle {
	cursor: move;
	cursor: -webkit-grabbing;
}
```


---


#### `filter` option


```js
Sortable.create(list, {
	filter: ".js-remove, .js-edit",
	onFilter: function (evt) {
		var item = evt.item,
			ctrl = evt.target;

		if (Sortable.utils.is(ctrl, ".js-remove")) {  // Click on remove button
			item.parentNode.removeChild(item); // remove sortable item
		}
		else if (Sortable.utils.is(ctrl, ".js-edit")) {  // Click on edit link
			// ...
		}
	}
})
```


---


#### `ghostClass` option
Class name for the drop placeholder (default `sortable-ghost`).

Demo: http://jsbin.com/hunifu/4/edit?css,js,output

```css
.ghost {
  opacity: 0.4;
}
```

```js
Sortable.create(list, {
  ghostClass: "ghost"
});
```


---


#### `chosenClass` option
Class name for the chosen item  (default `sortable-chosen`).

Demo: http://jsbin.com/hunifu/3/edit?html,css,js,output

```css
.chosen {
  color: #fff;
  background-color: #c00;
}
```

```js
Sortable.create(list, {
  delay: 500,
  chosenClass: "chosen"
});
```


---


#### `forceFallback` option
If set to `true`, the Fallback for non HTML5 Browser will be used, even if we are using an HTML5 Browser.
This gives us the possibility to test the behaviour for older Browsers even in newer Browser, or make the Drag 'n Drop feel more consistent between Desktop , Mobile and old Browsers.

On top of that, the Fallback always generates a copy of that DOM Element and appends the class `fallbackClass` defined in the options. This behaviour controls the look of this 'dragged' Element.

Demo: http://jsbin.com/yacuqib/edit?html,css,js,output


---


#### `fallbackTolerance` option
Emulates the native drag threshold. Specify in pixels how far the mouse should move before it's considered as a drag.
Useful if the items are also clickable like in a list of links.

When the user clicks inside a sortable element, it's not uncommon for your hand to move a little between the time you press and the time you release.  
Dragging only starts if you move the pointer past a certain tolerance, so that you don't accidentally start dragging every time you click.

3 to 5 are probably good values.


---


#### `scroll` option
If set to `true`, the page (or sortable-area) scrolls when coming to an edge.

Demo:
 - `window`: http://jsbin.com/tutuzeh/edit?html,js,output
 - `overflow: hidden`: http://jsbin.com/kolisu/edit?html,js,output


---


#### `scrollFn` option
Defines function that will be used for autoscrolling. el.scrollTop/el.scrollLeft is used by default.
Useful when you have custom scrollbar with dedicated scroll function.


---


#### `scrollSensitivity` option
Defines how near the mouse must be to an edge to start scrolling.


---


#### `scrollSpeed` option
The speed at which the window should scroll once the mouse pointer gets within the `scrollSensitivity` distance.


---


### Event object ([demo](http://jsbin.com/xedusu/edit?js,output))

 - to:`HTMLElement` — list, in which moved element.
 - from:`HTMLElement` — previous list
 - item:`HTMLElement` — dragged element
 - clone:`HTMLElement`
 - oldIndex:`Number|undefined` — old index within parent
 - newIndex:`Number|undefined` — new index within parent


#### `move` event object
 - to:`HTMLElement`
 - from:`HTMLElement`
 - dragged:`HTMLElement`
 - draggedRect:` TextRectangle`
 - related:`HTMLElement` — element on which have guided
 - relatedRect:` TextRectangle`


---


### Method


##### option(name:`String`[, value:`*`]):`*`
Get or set the option.



##### closest(el:`String`[, selector:`HTMLElement`]):`HTMLElement|null`
For each element in the set, get the first element that matches the selector by testing the element itself and traversing up through its ancestors in the DOM tree.


##### toArray():`String[]`
Serializes the sortable's item `data-id`'s (`dataIdAttr` option) into an array of string.


##### sort(order:`String[]`)
Sorts the elements according to the array.

```js
var order = sortable.toArray();
sortable.sort(order.reverse()); // apply
```


##### save()
Save the current sorting (see [store](#store))


##### destroy()
Removes the sortable functionality completely.


---


<a name="store"></a>
### Store
Saving and restoring of the sort.

```html
<ul>
	<li data-id="1">order</li>
	<li data-id="2">save</li>
	<li data-id="3">restore</li>
</ul>
```

```js
Sortable.create(el, {
	group: "localStorage-example",
	store: {
		/**
		 * Get the order of elements. Called once during initialization.
		 * @param   {Sortable}  sortable
		 * @returns {Array}
		 */
		get: function (sortable) {
			var order = localStorage.getItem(sortable.options.group.name);
			return order ? order.split('|') : [];
		},

		/**
		 * Save the order of elements. Called onEnd (when the item is dropped).
		 * @param {Sortable}  sortable
		 */
		set: function (sortable) {
			var order = sortable.toArray();
			localStorage.setItem(sortable.options.group.name, order.join('|'));
		}
	}
})
```

<a name="jq"></a>
### jQuery compatibility
To assemble plugin for jQuery, perform the following steps:

```bash
  cd Sortable
  npm install
  grunt jquery
```

Now you can use `jquery.fn.sortable.js`:<br/>
(or `jquery.fn.sortable.min.js` if you run `grunt jquery:min`)

```js
  $("#list").sortable({ /* options */ }); // init

  $("#list").sortable("widget"); // get Sortable instance

  $("#list").sortable("destroy"); // destroy Sortable instance

  $("#list").sortable("{method-name}"); // call an instance method

  $("#list").sortable("{method-name}", "foo", "bar"); // call an instance method with parameters
```

And `grunt jquery:mySortableFunc` → `jquery.fn.mySortableFunc.js`
