ion-reorder-group

Contents

The reorder group is a wrapper component for items with the ion-reorder component, Check Reorder documentation for further information about the anchor component that is used to drag items within the ion-reorder-group list.

Once the user drags an item and drops it in a new position, the ionItemReorder event is dispatched. A handler for it must be implemented by the developer to commit changes.

reorderGroup.addEventListener('ionItemReorder', (ev) => {
  console.log(`Moving item from ${ev.detail.from} to ${ev.detail.to}`);

  this.dataList = reorderArray(this.dataList, ev.detail.from, ev.detail.to);
  ev.detail.complete();
});

The event's detail includes all the relevant information about the reorder operation, including the from and to indexes. In the context of reordering, an item moves from index X to index Y.

For example, in this list we move the item at index 0 to the index 3:

BEFORE | AFTER
  0    |   1
  1    |   2
  2    |   3
  3    |   0
  4    |   4

detail: {
  from: 0
  to: 3
}

Once the data structure has been updated to reflect the reorder change, the complete() method must be called. This method finishes the reorder operation and resets all the CSS transforms applied by the ion-reorder-group component.

Fortunately this complete() method can optionally accept an array as input and it will return a reordered copy, based in detail.from and detail.to.

this.dataList = reorderGroup.complete(this.dataList);
