Obtains the name and ID of the dropped element

Question

I am using the cdk drag and drop library to drag and drop objects.

My problem is that I am not able to obtain the data (object information: name and ID) of the dropped object.

I've tried using console.log (event.item.data) but it gives undefined.

Does anyone know how I can get the information about the dropped element?

Thanks

.ts

 drop(event: CdkDragDrop<string[]>) {
    console.log(event.item.data)
    if (event.previousContainer === event.container) {
      moveItemInArray(
        event.container.data,
        event.previousIndex,
        event.currentIndex
      );
    } else {
      transferArrayItem(
        event.previousContainer.data,
        event.container.data,
        event.previousIndex,
        event.currentIndex
      );
    }
  }

Answer 1

Try with this:

event.previousContainer.data[event.previousIndex]

If you want the id of the item:

event.previousContainer.data[event.previousIndex]['id]

Answer 2

The data of the item is just an input. The documentation for it is:

@Input('cdkDragData') data: T

Arbitrary data to attach to this drag instance.

So, to add the data to the event, you have to set it for each draggable element. Like this:

<div *ngFor="let nw of A" cdkDrag [cdkDragData]="nw">
