Toolbar buttons can now be dragged onto a canvas or surface, enabling tool-palette workflows. Each button can carry arbitrary data for identification; drop targets read it via the standard application/json DataTransfer entry.

Added

  • draggable?: boolean and data?: unknown props on ToolbarButton — opt a single button into drag & drop and attach identification data
  • onDragStart?: (data, event) => void on ToolbarButton — per-button drag-start callback
  • draggable?: boolean on Toolbar — makes every child ToolbarButton draggable without per-button wiring
  • onItemDragStart?: (data, event) => void on Toolbar — single callback for any child being dragged
  • ToolbarDragContext — internal React context propagating drag settings from Toolbar to ToolbarButton through any intermediate wrappers (ToolbarSection, etc.)
  • cursor: grab / grabbing CSS for draggable buttons
  • DragAndDrop Storybook story with a live canvas drop target
  • Specs covering: explicit draggable prop, inherited draggable from parent Toolbar, non-draggable default
  • Documentation/Toolbar/drag-and-drop.md with usage examples
// All buttons draggable via Toolbar prop
<Toolbar draggable onItemDragStart={(data) => console.log(data)}>
    <ToolbarButton icon='pi pi-pencil' tooltip='Pencil' data={{ tool: 'pencil' }} />
    <ToolbarButton icon='pi pi-stop'   tooltip='Rect'   data={{ tool: 'rect' }} />
</Toolbar>

// Drop target reads data via standard DataTransfer
const raw = event.dataTransfer.getData('application/json');
const { tool } = JSON.parse(raw);

Fixed

  • Added "ignoreDeprecations": "6.0" to root tsconfig.json to silence TypeScript 7.x errors caused by pre-existing deprecated compiler options (downlevelIteration and baseUrl), restoring the CI build
Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Add support for drag&drop elements from the Toolbar onto a surface</issue_title>
<issue_description>It should be possible to set draggable on Toolbar items.
If you want all items to be draggable we need an appropriate property on the Toolbar itself for doing this.

Then there should be a callback for when a Toolbar item has been dropped with the Toolbar item instance being dropped.

On the Toolbar item we would like to optionally associate data with the item that can be used for identification.

Add specs and docs.</issue_description>

@copilot Fix the build error (run "yarn ci" from root)

Fixed in ee1344e. The root tsconfig.json had pre-existing deprecated options (downlevelIteration and baseUrl) that TypeScript 7.x now treats as errors. Added "ignoreDeprecations": "6.0" to silence them — yarn ci now passes cleanly (83 test files, 131 tests all green).
