feat: fork and update aframe-click-drag-component
Forked the original aframe-click-drag-component to ensure compatibility
with A-Frame 1.5.0, addressing the lack of maintenance and updates. This
version removes the call for new maintainers and clarifies the project
is a continuation of the original work. The update allows users to
maintain interactivity in 3D A-Frame scenes with current versions.

This change ensures that developers using A-Frame for VR projects can
continue to implement click and drag functionality without being
hindered by outdated dependencies or unresolved issues.

aframe-click-drag-component

A Click & Drag component for A-Frame. This is a fork of the original aframe-click-drag-component to make it work in current versions of A-Frame (tested with 1.5.0).

Entities with the click-drag component can be click and dragged around the 3D scene. Even works whle the camera is moving or rotating!

Events

dragstart

Emitted with the following info:

  • offset: {x, y, z} - The offset from entity center to drag position.
  • depth - the perpendicular distance from the screen to align the entity while dragging
  • clientX - the mouse event's clientX value
  • clientY - the mouse event's clientY value

dragmove

Emitted with the following info:

  • nextPosition: {x, y, z} - The next world position of the entity.
  • clientX - the mouse event's clientX value
  • clientY - the mouse event's clientY value

dragend

Emitted with the following info:

  • offset: {x, y, z} - The offset from entity center to drag position.
  • velocity: {x, y, z} - The smoothed velocity of the entity at dragend time.
  • depth - the perpendicular distance from the screen to align the entity while dragging
  • clientX - the final mouse event's clientX value
  • clientY - the final mouse event's clientY value

Applying click-drag conditionally

You can conditionally apply click-drag behaviors by specifying an enabled attribute in your click-drag property:

...
<a-sphere click-drag="enabled: false" position="0 1.25 -1" radius="1.25" color="#EF2D5E"></a-sphere>
...

<body>
  <a-scene>
    <a-sphere click-drag position="0 1.25 -5" radius="1.25" color="#EF2D5E"></a-sphere>
    <a-camera look-controls-enabled="false"></a-camera>
  </a-scene>
</body>
