Looking for maintainers

I have recently started a new business, which means I no longer have time to maintain this project.

Please reach out if you are interested in updating this component to the latest versions of aframe, merging the pending PRs, and resolving the list of issues ❤️

A Click & Drag component for A-Frame.

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

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>
...
