Drop tool target node variable

[volodgo]

Hi!
There have already been similar questions about the Drop Tool.
I can't find the aql variable for the target of dragging to the diagram node.
I can only get the drag source through aql:self.
I didn't find the right variable here.
You also wrote that there will be a documentation site soon. Is it already there or is it still in the works?

Hi,

We are still actively working on the documentation, the variable that you are looking for should be targetElement if I'm not mistaken.

Kind regards,

No, it's not targetElement
I want to drag some objects from the object tree to the graphical diagram. I need to get the node I dragged to into a variable so that I can work with that node further

I think it's not exposed at the moment. If you are in a context where you can add your own Java services, it should be possible write one which finds the element from the selectedNode with something like:

public EObject resolveTargetElement(Node selectedNode, IEditingContext editingContext) {
  // You'll need to inject IObjectService in your service class's constructor
  return this.objectService.getObject(editingContext, selectedNode.getTargetObjectId())).orElse(null);
}

and then an expression like: aql:selectedNode.resolveTargetElement(editingContext).
