CdkDragAndDrop how to prevent dragging

Question

I'm trying to use the Angular Material CDK DragDrop module from https://material.angular.io/cdk/drag-drop/overview

With the cdkDropListDropped event I can prevent dropping but it shouldn't be dragged either. How can I tell a cdkDropList or each cdkDrag elements to disable dragging?

<div class="list-group" id="orderlist" cdkDropList (cdkDropListDropped)="drop($event)">
                        <a class="list-group-item" 
                            [class.linked]="ord.linkedToPrevious" 
                            [class.selected]="ord.selected"
                            *ngFor="let ord of items" (click)="selectOrder(ord, $event)" cdkDrag>
                            <button class="btn btn-default btn-link linkeditem" [class.linked]="ord.linkedToPrevious" 
                                (click)="linkTechnology(ord, $event)" 
                                    [attr.disabled]="editing ? null : true">
                                <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-link"></span>
                            </button>
                            <h4>{{ord.technology.name}}</h4>
                        </a>
                    </div>

Answer 1

Disable dragging If you want to disable dragging for a particular drag item, you can do so by setting the cdkDragDisabled input on a cdkDrag item. Furthermore, you can disable an entire list using the cdkDropListDisabled input on a cdkDropList or a particular handle via cdkDragHandleDisabled on cdkDragHandle.

<div cdkDropList class="example-list" (cdkDropListDropped)="drop($event)">
  <div
    class="example-box"
    *ngFor="let item of items"
    cdkDrag
    [cdkDragDisabled]="item.disabled">{{item.value}}</div>
</div>
