jQuery UI Droppable out Event

Last Updated : 29 Jan, 2022

jQuery UI is a web-based technology and consists of various GUI widgets, visual effects, and themes. These features can be 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 be using the jQuery UI Droppable out event to trigger when an accepted draggable is dragged out of the droppable.

Syntax:

We need to initialize the Droppable widget with the out callback function.

$( ".selector" ).droppable({ out: function( event, ui ) {} });

Bind an event listener to the dropout event.

$( ".selector" ).on( "dropout ", function( event, ui ) {} );

Parameters: These are the following parameters that are accepted.

event: This event is triggered when an accepted draggable is dragged out of the droppable.
ui: This parameter is of type object with below-given options.
- helper: This parameter is the jQuery object representing the sorted helper.
- offset: This parameter is the current absolute position of the helper object which is represented as { top, left }.
- position: This parameter is the current position of the helper object which is represented as { top, left }.
- draggable: This parameter is the jQuery object representing the draggable element.
