Responsive draggable menu

[gareth 8 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi,

 

I have simple menu that I want to drag from 5% of the screen to 100%. 

// changing this to "100%" does not work
var maxX = 320

Draggable.create(".menu", {
  type:"x",
  throwProps:true, 
  edgeResistance: 1,
  maxDuration:0.3, 
   bounds: {maxX:maxX, minX:0}, 
    snap: {
    x: [0, maxX]
  }
  
});

The menu works fine if I supply a pixel value for the bounds and snap points. It is possible to use % ?

 

thanks,

Gareth

ok so I can just grab the screen width (but will have to update on resize)

var maxX =  window.innerWidth;

which brings me to my next question how do you control when the snap is triggered ? at the moment it looks like you have to exceed 50% for the menu to snap either way. Is is possible to change this to say 25% i.e if I drag past 25% the menu will snap to 100% ?

You can use a function...

If you're trying to create a swipe effect, I think it feels more natural if you don't use positional constraints. I use the velocity tracker to determine the direction to move it if it exceeded some number of pixels, similar to how hammerjs does it.

ah! thanks so much for demo, it is spot on. I agree it does feel more natural.
