Methods

The reorder group is a wrapper component for items using the ion-reorder component. See the Reorder documentation for further information about the anchor component that is used to drag items within the ion-reorder-group.

Once the user drags an item and drops it in a new position, the ionItemReorder event is dispatched. A handler for it should be implemented that calls the complete() method.

The detail property of the ionItemReorder event includes all of the relevant information about the reorder operation, including the from and to indexes. In the context of reordering, an item moves from an index to a new index.

Completing a Reorder

When the ionItemReorder event is dispatched, developers have the option to call the complete() method on ion-reorder-group. This will complete the reorder operation.

By default, the complete() method will re-order the DOM nodes inside of ion-reorder-group.

For developers who need to sort an array based on the order of the items in ion-reorder-group, we recommend passing the array as a parameter in complete(). Ionic will sort and return the array so that it can be reassigned.

In some cases, it may be necessary for an app to re-order both the array and the DOM nodes on its own. When this happens, it is recommended to pass false to the complete() method. This will prevent Ionic from re-ordering any DOM nodes inside of ion-reorder-group.

Usage with Virtual Scroll

The reorder group requires a scroll container to function. When using a virtual scrolling solution, you will need to disable scrolling on the ion-content and indicate which element container is responsible for the scroll container with the .ion-content-scroll-host class target.

<ion-content scroll-y="false">
  <virtual-scroll-element class="ion-content-scroll-host">
    <ion-reorder-group disabled="false">
      <ion-item>
        <ion-label>
          Item 1
        </ion-label>
        <ion-reorder slot="end"></ion-reorder>
      </ion-item>
      <ion-item>
        <ion-label>
          Item 2
        </ion-label>
        <ion-reorder slot="end"></ion-reorder>
      </ion-item>
    </ion-reorder-group>
  </virtual-scroll-element>
</ion-content>

Interfaces

ItemReorderEventDetail

interface ItemReorderEventDetail {
  from: number;
  to: number;
  complete: (data?: boolean | any[]) => any;
}

ItemReorderCustomEvent

While not required, this interface can be used in place of the CustomEvent interface for stronger typing with Ionic events emitted from this component.

interface ItemReorderCustomEvent extends CustomEvent {
  detail: ItemReorderEventDetail;
  target: HTMLIonReorderGroupElement;
}

Properties

disabled

Description	If `true`, the reorder will be hidden.
Attribute	`disabled`
Type	`boolean`
Default	`true`

Events

Name	Description
`ionItemReorder`	Event that needs to be listened to in order to complete the reorder action. Once the event has been emitted, the `complete()` method then needs to be called in order to finalize the reorder action.

Methods

complete

Description Completes the reorder operation. Must be called by the ionItemReorder event.

If a list of items is passed, the list will be reordered and returned in the proper order.

If no parameters are passed or if true is passed in, the reorder will complete and the item will remain in the position it was dragged to. If false is passed, the reorder will complete and the item will bounce back to its original position.

Signature complete(listOrReorder?: boolean ｜ any[] ｜ undefined) => Promise<any>
