see if a object is inside another drag in javascript

To see if an object is inside another drag in JavaScript, we can use drag and drop event listeners to determine when objects are being moved and where they are being dropped.

Assuming you have two objects with ids "objectA" and "objectB" respectively, and you want to check if objectA is inside objectB, you can use the following code:

index.tsx
const objectA = document.getElementById("objectA");
const objectB = document.getElementById("objectB");

objectA.addEventListener("dragend", () => {
  const objectARect = objectA.getBoundingClientRect();
  const objectBRect = objectB.getBoundingClientRect();

  if (
    objectARect.top >= objectBRect.top &&
    objectARect.bottom <= objectBRect.bottom &&
    objectARect.left >= objectBRect.left &&
    objectARect.right <= objectBRect.right
  ) {
    console.log("objectA is inside objectB!");
  }
});

In this example, we use the getBoundingClientRect() method to get the position and size of each object's bounding box. We then use conditional statements to determine if objectA is completely inside objectB.

Note that we only check if objectA is inside objectB when the dragend event occurs (i.e. the user has released objectA after dragging it). If you want to check if objectA is inside objectB during the drag, you can use the drag event instead.
