Simulate Drag on JQuery UI Sortable

Whilst jquery.simulate.js provides functionality to simulate many JQuery and JQuery UI event, it is unable to simulate a drag event for a JQuery UI Sortable widget due to the intricate behaviour needed to make the JQuery UI Sortable widget fire the correct events.

This library allows you to simulate Drag events for a JQuery UI Sortable, which I have found most useful when doing thorough integration tests.

Features

  • You can simulate an item being dragged up or down within a Sortable list by a specified number of items
  • Support for drag handles
  • Support for place holders
  • Support for limiting list to items which match a selector

Known limitations

  • Currently does not work with linked lists
  • Does not support horizontally ordered lists
  • beforeStop event does not fire

Usage

Include jquery.simulate.drag-sortable.js file after JQuery has been included.

// drag item down one position in the list
$('#itemToDrag').simulateDragSortable({ move: 1 });

// drag item down one position in the list and only treat elements which match .draggable as part of the list
$('#itemToDrag').simulateDragSortable({ move: 1, listItem: '.draggable });

// drag item up one position in the list using the handle .handle
$('#itemToDrag').simulateDragSortable({ move: -1, handle: '.handle });

// drag item up two positions in the list with support for a place holder
$('#itemToDrag').simulateDragSortable({ move: -2, placeHolder: '.custom-place-holder' });
