Sortable List

    Sortable lists is an extension of List View that allows you to sort list view elements.

    Sortable List Layout

    Let's look at layout structure of sortable lists in your list views:

    <!-- Additional "sortable" class on list block -->
    <div class="list sortable">
        <li>
            <div class="item-content">
                <div class="item-media">...</div>
                <div class="item-inner">...</div>
            </div>
            <!-- Sortable handler element -->
            <div class="sortable-handler"></div>
        </li>
    </div>

    Where:

    • sortable-handler - "draggable" element (hidden by default) that allows you to sort current list view element

    As you may see it is pretty simple, all you need is to add sortable class to list block and put <div class="sortable-handler"></div> as a direct child of <li>

    Sortable App Methods

    To enable/disable sorting mode on sortable list we need to use following app methods:

    app.sortable.enable(listEl)- enable sorting mode on sortable list

    • listEl - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector). Sortable list block element.

    app.sortable.disable(listEl)- disable sorting mode on sortable list

    • listEl - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector). Sortable list block element.

    app.sortable.toggle(listEl)- toggle sorting mode on sortable list

    • listEl - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector). Sortable list block element.

    Sortable App Parameters

    It is possible to configure global sortable behavior on app initialisation by passing sortable related paremeters under sortable property.

    Parameter Type Default Description
    moveElements boolean true When enabled then it will move (reorder) HTML elements according to new sortable order. It is useful to disable it if you use other library for DOM manipulation, like React or Vue

    To change these parameters we need to pass them on app init under sortable property, for example:

    var app = new Framework7({
      sortable: {
        moveElements: false
      }
    });
    

    Sortable Events

    Sortable will fire the following DOM events on sortable list block element and events on app instance:

    DOM Events

    Event Target Description
    sortable:enable Sortable List<div class="list sortable"> Event will be triggered when sortable mode is enabled
    sortable:disable Sortable List<div class="list sortable"> Event will be triggered when sortable mode is disabled
    sortable:sort List element<li> Event will be triggered after user release currently sorting element in new position. event.detail will contain object with from and to properties with from/to index numbers of sorted list item

    App Instance Events

    Sortable instance emit events on app instance.

    Event Target Arguments Description
    sortableEnable app listEl Event will be triggered when sortable mode is enabled
    sortableDisable app listEl Event will be triggered when sortable mode is disabled
    sortableSort app listEl, indexes Event will be triggered after user release currently sorting element in new position. indexes is an object with from and to properties with from/to index numbers of sorted list item

    Control Sortable With Links

    It is possible to enable and disable sortable mode using special classes and data attributes on links:

    • To enable sortable mode we need to add sortable-enable class to any HTML element (prefered to link)

    • To disable sortable mode we need to add sortable-disable class to any HTML element (prefered to link)

    • To toggle sortable mode we need to add sortable-toggle class to any HTML element (prefered to link)

    • If you have more than one sortable list in app, you need to specify appropriate sortable list via additional data-sortable=".sortable" attribute on this HTML element with CSS selector of required sortable list
