In my project I'm using this drag and drop library called gridstack. You can see their documentation on github here. When you hardcode elements inside the dom and initialize the gridstack, those elements are draggable. But when the elements are created dynamically with a forloop, they are not draggable even if they have the proper draggable classes. How can I make this work?
//initialize grid stack
var grid = GridStack.init({
minRow: 5, // don't collapse when empty
cellHeight: 70,
acceptWidgets: true,// acceptWidgets - accept widgets dragged from other grids or from outside (default: false).
dragIn: '.newWidget', // class that can be dragged from outside
dragInOptions: { revert: 'invalid', scroll: false, appendTo: 'body', helper:'clone' }, // clone or can be your function
removable: '#trash', // drag-out delete class
});
//gridstack on change
grid.on('added removed change', function(e, items) {
let str = '';
items.forEach(function(item) { str += ' (x,y)=' + item.x + ',' + item.y; });
console.log(e.type + ' ' + items.length + ' items:' + str );
});
//dynamic elemenets
const arr = ["Bruh cant drag me!", "Nope me neither", "Me too mouhahaha"];
//loop
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
var div = document.createElement('div');
var el = "<div class='newWidget grid-stack-item ui-draggable ui-resizable ui-resizable-autohide'> <div class='grid-stack-item-content' style='padding: 5px;'> "+arr[i]+"</div></div>";
div.innerHTML = el;
$('.dynamic').append(div);
}.grid-stack-item-removing {
opacity: 0.8;
filter: blur(5px);
}
#trash {
background: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.4);
padding: 5px;
text-align: center;
}
.grid-stack-item{
background: whitesmoke;
width: 50%;
border: 1px dashed grey;
}
.grid-stack {
background : #F0FFC0;

GridStack.setupDragIn()
