jQuery ui.draggable event/status on revert

draggable, events, jquery, jquery-ui

Solution

Doesn't looks like jQuery UI has support for it so you could add it yourself like this:

$.ui.draggable.prototype._mouseStop = function(event) {
    //If we are using droppables, inform the manager about the drop
    var dropped = false;
    if ($.ui.ddmanager && !this.options.dropBehaviour)
        dropped = $.ui.ddmanager.drop(this, event);

    //if a drop comes from outside (a sortable)
    if(this.dropped) {
        dropped = this.dropped;
        this.dropped = false;
    }

    if((this.options.revert == "invalid" && !dropped) || (this.options.revert == "valid" && dropped) || this.options.revert === true || ($.isFunction(this.options.revert) && this.options.revert.call(this.element, dropped))) {
        var self = this;
        self._trigger("reverting", event);
        $(this.helper).animate(this.originalPosition, parseInt(this.options.revertDuration, 10), function() {
            event.reverted = true;
            self._trigger("stop", event);
            self._clear();
        });
    } else {
        this._trigger("stop", event);
        this._clear();
    }

    return false;
}

Would allow you to do this:

$(document).ready(function($) {
    $('#draggable').draggable({
        revert: true,
        reverting: function() {
            console.log('reverted');
        },
        stop: function(event) {
            if (event.reverted) {
                console.log('reverted');
            }
        }
    });
});

Problem

Is there a way to get information if an element that's draggable is reverted? I'm stuck on this. I want to make an element droppable again, but only if the draggable that was lying there is moved elsewhere (meaning doesn't revert).
