allowFrom doesn't work when manualStart is on

https://jsfiddle.net/ddenev/fvzy6mjh/

What is the proper way to specify a handle when manualStart is on then?

@taye , please don’t ignore this and the ‘cursorChecker’ (https://github.com/taye/interact.js/issues/844) questions - I am currently blocked and need assistance/resolution.

Thank you and best regards.

@ddenev I moved my clone logic into the dragstart event and removed the manualStart and interaction.start({..}) stuff. This has the advantage of preserving my drag config (allowFrom, cursor #844 , etc…). The disadvantage that my clone isn’t associated as the event.target for drag events or the event.relatedTarget for drop events, these properties are associated to the original drag item (the trigger if you will). I’m assuming this the reason @taye made the manualStart functionality, so that you could associate the clone as your drag item. I get around this by adding the properties I need to the element that is being dragged and reference those properties instead of target and relatedTarget. #shamelessPlug Additionally, I’m adding this functionality to an Angular drag drop library I have published @tft/interact. Interactive docs here. I should be able to release the new feature and update docs with example by tonight or tomorrow.

The proper way is to check yourself if you want to start the action from the target element. You can use that interactable.testIgnoreAllow() method to check if the allowFrom and ignoeFrom options that you set should allow the action (true) or not (false) before calling interaction.start()
