推荐拖动类型

拖动文字时请使用 text/plain 类型，那么数据必须是字符串，例如：

event.dataTransfer.setData("text/plain", "This is text to drag")

拖动文本框中的文字和页面选中部分的文字是自动完成的，所以你不需要手动处理这些拖动。

如果应用和拖动目标不支持其他类型，推荐你使用 text/plain 类型的数据进行填充，否则将没有默认的替代文字。建议总是在最后添加原始文字类型的数据做为备选项（译者 plter 注：如果拖动开始时没有设置数据，则在有些浏览器中后续拖动相关事件可能不会触发）。

注：在旧代码中，可能会使用 text/unicode 或者 Text 类型，这两个与 text/plain 是一样的，并且应该被替换用于存储和提取数据。

Links should include data of two types; the first should be the URL using the type text/uri-list, and the second is the URL using the text/plain type. Both types should use the same data, the URL of the link. For example:

var dt = event.dataTransfer;
dt.setData("text/uri-list", "http://www.mozilla.org");
dt.setData("text/plain", "http://www.mozilla.org");

As usual, set the text/plain type last as it is less specific than the uri type.

Note: the URL type is uri-list with an 'I', not with an 'L'.

To drag multiple links, you can also separate each link with a linebreak. A line that begins with a number sign (#) is a comment and should not be considered a valid URL. You can use a comment to indicate the purpose of a link, or to hold the title associated with a link. The text/plain version of the drag data should include all links but should not include the comments.

For example:

http://www.mozilla.org
#A second link
http://www.example.com

This sample text/uri-list data contains two links and a comment.

When retrieving a dropped link, you should ensure you handle the case where multiple links may have been dragged, including any comments that appear in the data. For convenience, the special type URL may be used to refer to the first valid link within the data for the text/uri-list type. You should not add data using the URL type; attempting to do so will just set the value of the text/uri-list type instead.

var url = event.dataTransfer.getData("URL");

You may also see data using the Mozilla specific type text/x-moz-url. If it appears, it should be used before the text/uri-list type. It holds the URL of the link followed by the title of the link, separated by a linebreak. For example:

http://www.mozilla.org
Mozilla
http://www.example.com
Example

HTML content may use the text/html type. The data for this type should be the serialized HTML to drag. For instance, it would be suitable to set the data value for this type to the value of the innerHTML property of an element.

XML content may use the text/xml type, but you should ensure that the data value is well-formed XML.

You may also include a plain text representation of the HTML or XML data using the text/plain type. The data should be just the text and should not include any of the source tags or attributes. For instance:

var dt = event.dataTransfer;
dt.setData("text/html", "Hello there, <strong>stranger</strong>");
dt.setData("text/plain", "Hello there, stranger");

A local file is dragged using the application/x-moz-file type with a data value that is an nsIFile object. Non-privileged web pages are not able to retrieve or modify data of this type. Because a file is not a string, you must use the mozSetDataAt() method to assign the data. Similarly, when retrieving the data, you must use the mozGetDataAt() method.

event.dataTransfer.mozSetDataAt("application/x-moz-file", file, 0);

If possible, you may also include the file URL of the file using both the text/uri-list and/or text/plain types. These types should be added last so that the more specific application/x-moz-file type has higher priority.

The following example shows how to create an area for receiving dropped files:

<listbox ondragenter="return checkDrag(event)"
         ondragover="return checkDrag(event)"
         ondrop="doDrop(event)"/>

<script>
function checkDrag(event)
{
  return event.dataTransfer.types.contains("application/x-moz-file");
}

function doDrop(event)
{
  var file = event.dataTransfer.mozGetDataAt("application/x-moz-file", 0);
  if (file instanceof Components.interfaces.nsIFile)
    event.currentTarget.appendItem(file.leafName);
}
</script>

In this example, the event returns false only if the data transfer contains the application/x-moz-file type. During the drop event, the data associated with the file type is retrieved, and the filename of the file is added to the listbox. Note that the instanceof operator is used here as the mozGetDataAt() method will return an nsISupports that needs to be checked and converted into an nsIFile. This is also a good extra check in case someone made a mistake and added a non-file for this type.

Note that the latest spec now dictates that DataTransfer.types should return a frozen array of DOMStrings rather than a DOMStringList (this is supported in Firefox 52 and above).

As a result, the contains method no longer works on the property; the includes method should be used instead to check if a specific type of data is provided, using code like the following:

if ([...event.dataTransfer.types].includes("text/html")) {
  // Do something
}

You could always use some feature detection to determine which method is supported on types, and run code as appropriate.

Direct image dragging is not commonly done. In fact, Mozilla does not support direct image dragging on Mac or Linux platforms. Instead, images are usually dragged only by their URLs. To do this, use the text/uri-list type as with other URL links. The data should be the URL of the image or a data URL if the image is not stored on a web site or disk. For more information about data URLs, see the data URL scheme.

As with other links, the data for the text/plain type should also contain the URL. However, a data URL is not usually as useful in a text context, so you may wish to exclude the text/plain data in this situation.

In chrome or other privileged code, you may also use the image/jpeg, image/png or image/gif types, depending on the type of image. The data should be an object which implements the nsIInputStream interface. When this stream is read, it should provide the data bits for the image, as if the image was a file of that type.

You should also include the application/x-moz-file type if the image is located on disk. In fact, this a common way in which image files are dragged.

It is important to set the data in the right order, from most specific to least specific. The image type such as image/jpeg should come first, followed by the application/x-moz-file type. Next, you should set the text/uri-list data and finally the text/plain data. For example:

var dt = event.dataTransfer;
dt.mozSetDataAt("image/png", stream, 0);
dt.mozSetDataAt("application/x-moz-file", file, 0);
dt.setData("text/uri-list", imageurl);
dt.setData("text/plain", imageurl);

Note the mozGetDataAt() method is used for non-text data. As some contexts may only include some of these types, it is important to check which type is made available when receiving dropped images.

Nodes and elements in a document may be dragged using the application/x-moz-node type. The data for the type should be a DOM node. This allows the drop target to receive the actual node where the drag was started from. Note that callers from a different domain will not be able to access the node even when it has been dropped.

You should always include a plain text alternative for the node.

You can also use other types that you make up for custom purposes. You should strive to always include a plain text alternative unless that object being dragged is specific to a particular site or application. In this case, the custom type ensures that the data cannot be dropped elsewhere.

There are cases in which you may want to add a file to an existing drag event session, and you may also want to write the file to disk when the drop operation happens over a folder in the operating system when your code receives notification of the target folder's location. This only works in extensions (or other privileged code) and the data type "application/moz-file-promise" should be used. The following sample offers an overview of this advanced case:

// currentEvent is a given existing drag operation event

currentEvent.dataTransfer.setData("text/x-moz-url", URL);
currentEvent.dataTransfer.setData("application/x-moz-file-promise-url", URL);
currentEvent.dataTransfer.setData(
  "application/x-moz-file-promise-dest-filename",
  leafName,
);
currentEvent.dataTransfer.mozSetDataAt(
  "application/x-moz-file-promise",
  new dataProvider(success, error),
  0,
  Components.interfaces.nsISupports,
);

function dataProvider() {}

dataProvider.prototype = {
  QueryInterface: function (iid) {
    if (
      iid.equals(Components.interfaces.nsIFlavorDataProvider) ||
      iid.equals(Components.interfaces.nsISupports)
    )
      return this;
    throw Components.results.NS_NOINTERFACE;
  },
  getFlavorData: function (aTransferable, aFlavor, aData, aDataLen) {
    if (aFlavor == "application/x-moz-file-promise") {
      var urlPrimitive = {};
      var dataSize = {};

      aTransferable.getTransferData(
        "application/x-moz-file-promise-url",
        urlPrimitive,
        dataSize,
      );
      var url = urlPrimitive.value.QueryInterface(
        Components.interfaces.nsISupportsString,
      ).data;
      console.log("URL file orignal is = " + url);

      var namePrimitive = {};
      aTransferable.getTransferData(
        "application/x-moz-file-promise-dest-filename",
        namePrimitive,
        dataSize,
      );
      var name = namePrimitive.value.QueryInterface(
        Components.interfaces.nsISupportsString,
      ).data;

      console.log("target filename is = " + name);

      var dirPrimitive = {};
      aTransferable.getTransferData(
        "application/x-moz-file-promise-dir",
        dirPrimitive,
        dataSize,
      );
      var dir = dirPrimitive.value.QueryInterface(
        Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile,
      );

      console.log("target folder is = " + dir.path);

      var file = Cc["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(
        Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile,
      );
      file.initWithPath(dir.path);
      file.appendRelativePath(name);

      console.log("output final path is =" + file.path);

      // now you can write or copy the file yourself...
    }
  },
};
