React : SortableJS: Exclude some last elements from sorting


I have a list something similar to this in React

    <div id="list">
        <Item data-id="1">
        <Item data-id="2">
        <Item data-id="3">
        <Item data-id="4">
        <Item data-id="5">
    </div>

I am using sortablejs npm library for sorting.

Now, I want to exclude the last 2 elements from sorting,

Below is the function I use for sorting

    import Sortable from 'sortablejs';
    let list = document.getElementById('list');
    Sortable.create(list, {
        ghostClass: 'ghost',
        store : {
            set: (sortable) => {
                // logic to store new order in DB
                sortable.destroy();
            }
        }
    });

Expected Result: Last 2 items should become non-draggable

also, first 3 items should not be able to go below them

How can I achieve that?

Solution for a similar problem is at: How to exclude an element from being dragged in sortable list?

I want equivalent of below mentioned code in React:

$(function() {
    $('.sortable').sortable();
    $('.sortable').disableSelection();
    $('.sortable').sortable({ cancel: '.note' });
});​

$('.sortable').sortable({
    items : ':not(.note)'
});

Solution

  • maybe you can use the "filter" config option?

    var sortable = new Sortable(el, {
      // variables
    
      group: "name", // or { name: "...", pull: [true, false, 'clone', array], put: [true, false, array] }
      sort: true, // sorting inside list
      delay: 0, // time in milliseconds to define when the sorting should start
      delayOnTouchOnly: false, // only delay if user is using touch
      touchStartThreshold: 0, // px, how many pixels the point should move before cancelling a delayed drag event
      disabled: false, // Disables the sortable if set to true.
      store: null, // @see Store
      animation: 150, // ms, animation speed moving items when sorting, `0` — without animation
      easing: "cubic-bezier(1, 0, 0, 1)", // Easing for animation. Defaults to null. See https://easings.net/ for examples.
      handle: ".my-handle", // Drag handle selector within list items
      filter: ".ignore-elements", // Selectors that do not lead to dragging (String or Function)
      preventOnFilter: true, // Call `event.preventDefault()` when triggered `filter`
      draggable: ".item", // Specifies which items inside the element should be draggable
    
      dataIdAttr: "data-id",
    
      ghostClass: "sortable-ghost", // Class name for the drop placeholder
      chosenClass: "sortable-chosen", // Class name for the chosen item
      dragClass: "sortable-drag", // Class name for the dragging item
    
      swapThreshold: 1, // Threshold of the swap zone
      invertSwap: false, // Will always use inverted swap zone if set to true
      invertedSwapThreshold: 1, // Threshold of the inverted swap zone (will be set to swapThreshold value by default)
      direction: "horizontal", // Direction of Sortable (will be detected automatically if not given)
    
      forceFallback: false, // ignore the HTML5 DnD behaviour and force the fallback to kick in
    
      fallbackClass: "sortable-fallback", // Class name for the cloned DOM Element when using forceFallback
      fallbackOnBody: false, // Appends the cloned DOM Element into the Document's Body
      fallbackTolerance: 0, // Specify in pixels how far the mouse should move before it's considered as a drag.
    
      dragoverBubble: false,
      removeCloneOnHide: true, // Remove the clone element when it is not showing, rather than just hiding it
      emptyInsertThreshold: 5, // px, distance mouse must be from empty sortable to insert drag element into it
