jQuery UI Draggable scope Option

Last Updated : 29 Jan, 2022

jQuery UI is a web-based technology and consists of GUI widgets, visual effects, and themes implemented using the jQuery, JavaScript Library. jQuery UI is the best tool for building UI interfaces for the webpages. It can also be used to build highly interactive web applications or can be used to add widgets easily.

In this article, we will learn how to use the jQuery UI Draggable scope Option. This option is used to group sets of draggable and droppable items. A draggable with the same scope value as a droppable will be accepted by the droppable. The default value of this option is “default”.

Syntax:

The scope option takes a String type value and the syntax is as follows.

$( ".selector" ).draggable({ scope: "tasks" });

Get the scope option

var scope = $( ".selector" ).draggable( "option", "scope" );

Set the scope option

$( ".selector" ).draggable( "option", "scope", "tasks" );
