Adding Plugins to a Delegate instance

DD.Delegate provides a reference to the dd instance so you can plug into the underlying dd with del.dd.plug(). This allows you to use DD plugins on a Delegate instance, as well as provides the ability to write plugins for Delegate itself.

Constrain Plugin

Here is how you would add the constrain plugin to a DD.Delegate instance.

YUI().use('dd-delegate', 'dd-constrain', function(Y) {
    var del = new Y.DD.Delegate({
        container: '#demo',
        nodes: 'li'
    });

    del.dd.plug(Y.Plugin.DDConstrained, {
        constrain2node: '#play'
    });
});

DDProxy Plugin

Here is how you would add the dd-proxy plugin to a DD.Delegate instance.

YUI().use('dd-delegate', 'dd-proxy', function(Y) {
    var del = new Y.DD.Delegate({
        container: '#demo',
        nodes: 'li'
    });

    del.dd.plug(Y.Plugin.DDProxy, {
        moveOnEnd: false,
        cloneNode: true
    });

});

Javascript

YUI().use('dd-delegate', 'dd-drop-plugin', 'dd-constrain', 'dd-proxy', function(Y) {
    var del = new Y.DD.Delegate({
        container: '#demo',
        nodes: 'li'
    });

    del.on('drag:start', function(e) {
        e.target.get('node').setStyle('opacity', '.5');
    });
    del.on('drag:end', function(e) {
        e.target.get('node').setStyle('opacity', '1');
    });
    
    del.dd.plug(Y.Plugin.DDConstrained, {
        constrain2node: '#play'
    });

    del.dd.plug(Y.Plugin.DDProxy, {
        moveOnEnd: false,
        cloneNode: true
    });

    var drop = Y.one('#drop').plug(Y.Plugin.Drop);
    drop.drop.on('drop:hit', function(e) {
        drop.set('innerHTML', 'You dropped: <strong>' + e.drag.get('node').get('innerHTML') + '</strong>');
    });
