React, How to prevent execution of click event after drag?

I have Draggable element and inside of it, I have a component with onClick event. At the end of the drag, the click event is triggered. My draggable element looks like this. I used a package called react-draggable.

<Draggable
    position={this.state.realPosition}
    onStart={this.handleStart}
    onDrag={this.handleDrag}
    onStop={this.handleStop}
    disabled={this.state.isDialogOpen}
    bounds="parent">
      <div style={{"width":"fit-content"}}>
        <Helmet getDialogStatus={this.handleClick} />  
      </div>
</Draggable>

I have onClick event inside of the Helmet component which opens a dialog box. When I drag and release the element, this dialog opens. My question is how to prevent this action and how to seperate these to event?

Thanks.

Solution

  • I'd set a state in the Component holding Draggable, isDragging and pass it to Helmet component.

    If isDragging then disable any click event.
