Disabling dragndrop from baseweb DnD list


I actually have a drag and drop list from BaseWeb https://baseweb.design/components/dnd-list/, And instead of havings strings as the exemple shows, i'm having components for a blog, like a text section, some inputs, etc... I use this list to reorder my components easily, but i got a problem, if i want to click to go in my text input, I drag my component, and don't get in.

I'm using React-Quill for the text editor

Here's my code for the list:

                        initialState={{
                            items: componentsArray
                        }}
                        onChange={({oldIndex, newIndex}) =>
                            setComponentsArray(newIndex === -1 ?
                            arrayRemove(componentsArray, oldIndex) :
                            arrayMove(componentsArray, oldIndex, newIndex))
                        }
                        className=""
                        overrides={{
                            DragHandle: <FontAwesomeIcon icon={Icons.faLeftRight} />,
                        }}
                    />

Solution

  • Try cancel onmousedown BaseWeb's handler for elements you need to free of drag.

    import React, { useState, useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
    import { List, arrayMove } from 'baseui/dnd-list';
    import { StatefulSelect } from 'baseui/select';
    import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
    
    const RulesTab = () => {
      const [items, setItems] = useState([{ id: uuidv4() }, { id: uuidv4() }]);
      const dndRootRef = useRef(null);
    
      useEffect(() => {
        // override base-web's mousedown event handler
        dndRootRef.current.addEventListener('mousedown', (el) => {
          let isFreeOfDrag = false;
          let currentEl = el.target;
    
          // check if the element you clicked is inside the "free-of-drag block"
          do {
            if (currentEl.getAttribute('test-id') === 'free-of-drag') {
              isFreeOfDrag = true;
              break;
            } else {
              currentEl = currentEl.parentElement;
            }
          } while (currentEl);
    
          // invoke el.stopPropagation(); if the element you clicked is inside the "free-of-drag block"
          if (isFreeOfDrag) {
            el.stopPropagation();
          }
        });
      }, []);
    
      return (
        <List
          items={items.map(({ id }, index) => (
            <div style={{ display: 'flex' }} test-id="free-of-drag" key={id}>
              <StatefulSelect
                options={[
                  { label: 'AliceBlue', id: '#F0F8FF' },
                  { label: 'AntiqueWhite', id: '#FAEBD7' },
                ]}
                placeholder="Select color"
              />
            </div>
          ))}
          onChange={({ oldIndex, newIndex }, el) => setItems(arrayMove(items, oldIndex, newIndex))}
          overrides={{
            Root: {
              props: {
                ref: dndRootRef,
              },
            },
          }}
        />
      );
    };
