How to transfer data during dragging and dropping using Javascript event listener like “dragstart”
ReportQuestion
I am using ACE code editor. I am trying to add a feature of drag and drop of code blocks inside the editor. I have a div like this :
<div id=”draggable2″ draggable=true>
If
</div>
And I am using this event listener :
document.getElementById(“draggable2”).addEventListener(“dragstart”, function (e) {
e.dataTransfer.setData(“text”, “if()” + “\n” + “{” + “\n” + “\n” + “}”);
});
But Here I am sending hardcoded string value during transfer. But can there be another way of sending the data.

Please briefly explain why you feel this answer should be reported .
Report CancelYou can actually create a JSON which can point to the hard coded values. If you are looking for a data from sql, you can easily get the same using AJAX.
Do like this :
var codeBlocks = {
if: ‘if(true){\n }’,
ifelse: ‘if(true){ \n} \nelse{\n}’
}
When you are accessing the code from hard coded value, replace the tagname with value.
e.dataTransfer.setData(“text”, codeBlocks[dragobjectCaption]);
I hope this will help you. 🙂
