Chapter 222: Draggable.create()

Core Idea

The flexible, recommended way to create Draggable instances (vs. new Draggable()) — accepts a single element, an array, or selector text, and always returns an array of instances (one per element).

Reference Tables

Parameter	Type	Description
target	Object	element, array of elements, or selector string
vars	Object	config like {type: "x,y", inertia: true, edgeResistance: 0.8, onDrag: fn}

Returns: Array of Draggable instances.

Code Examples

let instances = Draggable.create(".draggable", { type: "x,y", bounds: "#container" });

Key Takeaways

1. Always returns an array, even for a single element — a Draggable instance is always tied to exactly one element.

Connects To

• Draggable.get(): retrieves the instance for one specific element after create() made several.
