Hey everyone, I'm facing an issue that's been bothering me. Whenever I try to drag an element, it flickers a lot and it's really annoying. I've been struggling to figure out what's causing this problem.
Below is the code snippet:
moveElement(element, e) {
let clientX = e.clientX;
let clientY = e.clientY;
let offsetX = e.offsetX;
let offsetY = e.offsetY;
let height = element.getBoundingClientRect().height;
let width = element.getBoundingClientRect().width;
window.requestAnimationFrame(function() {
element.style.setProperty("left", clientX - (width - offsetX) + "px");
element.style.setProperty("top", clientY - (height - offsetY) + "px");
});
}
Here is the complete code:
class Dragger{
constructor() {
this.drags = [];
this.drops = [];
this.mover = null;
this.collectDragAndDrop();
}
dragItem(element) {
element.style.setProperty("position", "fixed");
this.mover = this.moveElement.bind(null, element);
element.addEventListener("mousemove", this.mover);
}
moveElement(element, e) {
let clientX = e.clientX;
let clientY = e.clientY;
let offsetX = e.offsetX;
let offsetY = e.offsetY;
let height = element.getBoundingClientRect().height;
let width = element.getBoundingClientRect().width;
window.requestAnimationFrame(function() {
element.style.setProperty("left", clientX - (width - offsetX) + "px");
element.style.setProperty("top", clientY - (height - offsetY) + "px");
});
}
dropItem(element) {
element.removeEventListener("mousemove", this.mover);
}
collectDragAndDrop() {
document.querySelectorAll("[drag]").forEach(element => {
let name = element.attributes.drag.nodeValue;
let findDup = this.drags.some(el => el.name === name);
if (findDup) throw Error("Duplicated drag attribute: " + name);
this.drags.push({
element,
name
});
element.addEventListener("mousedown", this.dragItem.bind(this, element));
element.addEventListener("mouseup", this.dropItem.bind(this, element));
});
}
}
new Dragger();.box1 {
background: black;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
color: white;
}
.box2 {
background: red;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: fixed;
right: 100px;
}<div class="box1" drag="test"></div>
<div class="box2" drag="test2"></div>Does anyone know why this flickering issue is happening?
