Helper item has no unique identifier

See original GitHub issue

Is there any way to get a unique identifier on the helper? Currently, my list items have unique id’s and some are styled differently because of this. When dragging, the helper item does not inherit the id (makes sense, given that would be 2 idential id’s on the page), but it doesn’t have ANY unique identifier.

Is there any way something can be passed onto the helper for styling purposes? Maybe a custom defined id or data-* or something?

Oh yes I see. Man, I was thinking about this in the wrong way. I was overcomplicating things in my mind.

Thanks for clearing it up!

You have to pass the data-id to the component you’re wrapping with SortableElement first (mind you, this could be whatever you want, data-id is entirely arbitrary, you could use data-item-key if you wanted).

Check out this fiddle for details https://jsfiddle.net/xokw3hoq/1/
