Best example of Drag and Drop using AngularJS. Designed with easy steps.

First of all define anguler application (ng-app) name, define two directives and one controller as mentioned below. Also apply some css which will improve a look and feel of html

Just run the snippet and enjoy the coding.

var module = angular.module('my-app', []);

module.directive('draggable', function () {
  return {
    restrict: 'A',
    link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
      element[0].addEventListener('dragstart', scope.handleDragStart, false);
      element[0].addEventListener('dragend', scope.handleDragEnd, false);
    }
  }
});

module.directive('droppable', function () {
  return {
    restrict: 'A',
    link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
      element[0].addEventListener('drop', scope.handleDrop, false);
      element[0].addEventListener('dragover', scope.handleDragOver, false);
    }
  }
});

function MainController($scope)
{
    $scope.drag_types = [
        {name: "Charan"},
        {name: "Vijay"},
        {name: "Mahesh"},
      {name: "Dhananjay"},
    ];
    $scope.items = [];
    
    $scope.handleDragStart = function(e){
        this.style.opacity = '0.4';
        e.dataTransfer.setData('text/plain', this.innerHTML);
    };
    
    $scope.handleDragEnd = function(e){
        this.style.opacity = '1.0';
    };
    
    $scope.handleDrop = function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        e.stopPropagation();
        var dataText = e.dataTransfer.getData('text/plain');
        $scope.$apply(function() {
            $scope.items.push(dataText);
        });
        console.log($scope.items);
    };
    
    $scope.handleDragOver = function (e) {
        e.preventDefault(); // Necessary. Allows us to drop.
        e.dataTransfer.dropEffect = 'move';  // See the section on the DataTransfer object.
        return false;
  };
           
}

.container {
  width: 600px;
  border: 1px solid #CCC;
  box-shadow: 0 1px 5px #CCC;
  border-radius: 5px;
  font-family: verdana;
  margin: 25px auto;
}

.container header {
  background: #f1f1f1;
  background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient( top, #f1f1f1, #CCC );
  background-image: -ms-linear-gradient( top, #f1f1f1, #CCC );
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient( top, #f1f1f1, #CCC );
  background-image: -o-linear-gradient( top, #f1f1f1, #CCC );
  box-shadow: 0 1px 2px #888;
  padding: 10px;
}

.container h1 {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 16px;
  font-weight: normal;
  text-shadow: 0 1px 2px white;
  color: #888;
  text-align: center;
}

.container section {
  padding: 10px 30px; 
  font-size: 12px;
  line-height: 175%;
  color: #333;
}
