Drag Handle

Description

Attach a dedicated drag area inside a node instead of making the whole node draggable. Use this when your nodes contain buttons, inputs, or rich content and drag should start only from a specific handle.

Example

[example.html] <<< https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Foblex/f-flow/main/libs/f-examples/nodes/drag-handle/example.html [example.ts] <<< https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Foblex/f-flow/main/libs/f-examples/nodes/drag-handle/example.ts [example.scss] <<< https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Foblex/f-flow/main/libs/f-examples/nodes/drag-handle/example.scss

What this pattern enables

  • Make only part of the node draggable.
  • Protect buttons, images, forms, or other interactive content inside the node.
  • Build node UIs that feel closer to real product surfaces instead of generic diagram blocks.

Position updates

Use fNodePositionChange to persist the new { x, y } of a single node after movement.

Use fMoveNodes from <f-flow> when you need the full batch of moved nodes for:

  • group drag handling,
  • undo/redo,
  • snapping, alignment, or other external layout logic.
