PreviewContainer

Type Alias

Possible places into which the preview of a drag item can be inserted.

global - Preview will be inserted at the bottom of the <body>. The advantage is that you don't have to worry about overflow: hidden or z-index, but the item won't retain its inherited styles.
parent - Preview will be inserted into the parent of the drag item. The advantage is that inherited styles will be preserved, but it may be clipped by overflow: hidden or not be visible due to z-index. Furthermore, the preview is going to have an effect over selectors like :nth-child and some flexbox configurations.
ElementRef<HTMLElement> | HTMLElement - Preview will be inserted into a specific element. Same advantages and disadvantages as parent.
