Hammer.JS versus HTML5 Drag and Drop

[jokeyrhyme]

So, many modern browsers have native implementations of HTML5 Drag and Drop:

• http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/dnd.html
• http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/dnd/basics/
• http://html5demos.com/drag

The specification has the following events:

• dragstart
• drag
• dragenter
• dragleave
• dragover
• drop
• dragend

The specification definitely has some problems, and I've recently spent some time working with it and can echo the sentiment found here: http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2009/09/the_html5_drag.html

Is there room in Hammer.JS's scope to cover some of the features from the specification, but in a sane way? Specifically, the dragenter, dragleave and dragover events are not covered by Hammer currently, and might cover common use cases.

This may be partly related to #230.

Yep wanted to use Hammer in my project but missed dragenter, dragleave, dragover...
fixed it with some dispatchEvent calls in my own code but still, I want Hammer to play nice...

Closing this hammer dropped all drag support in v2

Can you please clarify - what's the recommended way to implement Drag & Drop? Or hammer.js doesn't implement it at all and some other library supposed to be used?

@alexeyPetrushin did you find any solution?
