RowDragging

allowDropInsideItem

Allows users to drop a row inside another row.

Type:

allowReordering

Allows row reordering using drag and drop gestures.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

This property limits row reordering to the UI and does not affect the data source. You should also handle the effects of the drag and drop to the data source in code. If users reorder rows inside a single component, implement the onReorder handler.

For information on drag and drop between components, refer to the group topic.

    Rows do not animate, a blue square appears at the place where the dragged row is going to be placed.

filter Deprecated

Specifies a CSS selector for draggable rows.

Type:

String

Default Value: '> *'

group

Allows you to group several UI components so that users can drag and drop rows between them.

Type:

String

Default Value: undefined

Set this property to identical values for the UI components you want to collect into a single group. This allows users to drag and drop rows between components, but only in the UI. To handle drag and drop in code, implement the onAdd and onRemove handlers. Both these handlers are executed simultaneously when a row is dropped to the target component, but onAdd is executed in the target component, while onRemove is executed in the source component.
