Draggable:

1. Enables an element to be draggable.

<div id="draggable">Drag Me</div>

new Draggable(document.querySelector('#draggable'), {
    // options here
}, eventHandlers);

2. Available options for Draggable.

new Draggable(document.querySelector('#draggable'), {
    // append the draggable element to a specific element
    appendTo: 'parent',
    // x or y
    axis: null,
    // connect to a Sortable list
    // e.g. '#sort'
    connectToSortable: null,
    // parent, document, window, a CSS selector or an array of 4 numbers in the form [x1, y1, x2, y2]
    containment: null,
    // cursor type
    cursor: null,
    // if the draggable element is disabled
    disabled: false,
    // distance in pixels that the mouse should move before the dragging should start.
    distance: 0,
    // snap the dragging helper to a grid
    // e.g. [10, 10]
    grid: null,
    // drag handle element
    handle: null,
    // original, clone or a function
    helper: 'original',
    // opacity of the draggable element while being dragged
    opacity: null,
    // invalid, valid, true, false or a function
    revert: false,
    // duration in milliseconds
    revertDuration: 200,
    // used to group sets of Draggable, Droppable and Sortable elements
    scope: 'default',
    // determine whether the container is scrollable
    scroll: true,
    scrollSensitivity: 20,
    scrollSpeed: 10,
    // stack to another element
    stack: null,
    // ignore these elements
    skip: 'input, textarea, button, select, option',
    // z-index property
    zIndex: null
    
});

3. Available events for Draggable.

new Draggable(document.querySelector('#draggable'), {OPTIONS}, {
    'draggable:init ': function (event) {
