Draggable, programmatically "drag" to a position

[Shaun Gorneau 2,028 Likes (Superhero)]

So, I'm using Draggable to move around a map that is larger than the viewport and bound to a container. That works perfectly. I have hotspots on the map that reveal info cards. When I click a hotspot, I would like to programmatically perform a drag as if I manually dragged the map from the "mousedown point" to the center of the screen. 

 

.to() works fine but doesn't respect the Draggable bounds (for obvious reasons). Is there a way to pass coordinates to a Draggable method such that it respects everything about the Draggable instance (bounds, inertia, etc.)?

 

Thanks Superheros!

Got a minimal demo? 

 

No, there's not a simple way to tell a Draggable instance "hey, pretend the user is interactively dragging...but I'm actually doing it all programmatically" other than maybe faking a bunch of events dispatched by the element (sounds like a bad idea). 

 

I believe you could, however, tap into the Draggable's maxX, minX, maxY, and minY properties if you want to clamp the to() tween values accordingly.

 LOL, no! 🤣 I was just wondering if the was an under-the-hood (undocumented) method
