It can also be used to build highly interactive web applications or can be used to add widgets easily.

The jQuery UI Draggable create Event is used to trigger when the draggable is created.

Syntax:

We need to initialize the Draggable widget with the create a callback function:

$( ".selector" ).draggable({
   create : function( event, ui ) {}
});

Bind an event listener to the dragcreate an event:

$( ".selector" ).on( "dragcreate", function( event, ui ) {} );
