Novel use for drag handles?

[mikeatquvee]

Today I needed to make some items in my {#each} loop NOT draggable. Drag handles turned out to be a great way to do this - just put them behind an {#if}

https://svelte.dev/playground/650af52ab373457091afe2cb04699f39?version=5.49.2

Thought I'd share that in case it's interesting or novel or should be documented. or discouraged :-)

It's cool :). It still allows putting the non draggable element in any position on the list by using other elements to move it though. Can you describe the usecase you used it for?

I'm building 'yak' - yet another kanban :-)

I want to see cards independently, or collected into 'stacks'.
I want to be able to drag cards in and out of stacks

the playground shows the full complexity of the thing now ...

and you can see from the picture that positioning on the list is important - the cards are sorted by priority, and stacks take on the priority of their highest priority member card

Got it. Cool!
