Combines with jquery-ui-draggable 1.9.2+ and jquery-collision 1.0.2+. Provides collision events while dragging, and handles collision-avoidance. Collision and containment settings are hierarchical and extensible, allowing for complex interactions.

Try it out: http://eruciform.com/jquidragcollide/

Features

  • Extends jquery-ui-draggable
  • Provides events for collision-detection during dragging
  • Just as with jquery-collision, can provide protrusion events as well (escape from a restraint)
  • Can prevent collisions of the draggable and obstacles
  • Can prevent protrusions of the draggable from multiple restraints
  • Can make selected children of the draggable the "colliding entities", allowing a draggable that is a bucket of other objects, where those child objects are the ones that collide with or avoid obstacles
  • Can be configured to have multiple classes of obstacles and restraints under the same draggable
  • Documentation: https://sourceforge.net/p/jquidragcollide/wiki/Home/
  • Depends on: https://sourceforge.net/projects/jquerycollision/
