Details

The property function takes 3 parameters:

  • newdata - (object) the data item to move;
  • id - (string) the item id in the source element;
  • data - (object) original data of the moved data item.

The function is called when a data item is about to be moved to the target component.

When you drag a data item to another component, it preserves its id, unless the target component contains an item with such an id. Then the item will receive a random id. The changed item is newdata. The second parameter, id, stores the initial id of the item and data stores the initial data object.
