Follow-up of #386
Part of ant-design/ant-design#58508 (Tree virtual scroll + drag)
Suggested by @zombieJ in react-component/tree#1076 (comment)

💡 Background and Solution

A virtual list does not scroll when an item is dragged to its top/bottom edge, so items outside the viewport can't be reached.

Two reasons nothing scrolls:

  1. The container is overflow: hidden, so the browser's native drag-to-edge autoscroll is disabled.
  2. useScrollDrag can't cover it. It runs on mousemove, which the browser does not fire during a native HTML5 drag, and since fix: skip drag-scroll when the target or its ancestor is draggable #386 it returns early when the target is draggable — by design, so the mouse path never fights the native drag. That skip is kept as is.

So the drag needs a path of its own. Add useDragEdgeScroll next to useScrollDrag: dragover computes the offset from the pointer's distance to the edge and keeps a rAF loop running; dragleave / drop / dragend cancel it.

No dragging flag is needed. dragover only fires while a native drag is in progress, so the hook detects the drag by itself and can stay mounted — consumers such as rc-tree get the behavior without passing any state. This is the "self-detection" option from the rc-tree discussion.

Other notes:

  • drop / dragend are listened on the document in the capture phase: a consumer's node may stop their propagation in the bubble phase (rc-tree's TreeNode does).
  • Band is min(itemHeight * 1.2, height / 4) — the height / 4 cap keeps an idle zone in the middle on short containers.
  • Easing and band easing reuse smoothScrollOffset from useScrollDrag (now exported), so both paths feel identical.
  • Gated on inVirtual, same as useScrollDrag.

✅ Verification

Red / green double run with the hook call in List removed and restored (full suite, same batch both times):

with the hook without the hook
dragEdgeScroll.test.js ✅ 10 passed ❌ 7 failed

The 3 that stay green without the hook are the negative cases (idle zone, boundary, virtual={false}) — they assert nothing happens, which is the expected false-green trap, so every one of them is preceded by an assertion proving the loop was live first.

useDragEdgeScroll.ts is at 100% statement / branch / function / line coverage. Cases: scroll down at the bottom edge, scroll up at the top edge, idle middle zone, the band boundary where the offset is 0, re-entering the band while the loop already runs (must not double the speed), drop, dragend released outside the container, dragleave (leaving stops it, moving between inner nodes does not), and virtual={false} left to the browser.

End-to-end: verified in a browser with rc-tree's draggable demo aliased to this source — dragging a node to the edge scrolls the list, and it stops on release.

Full suite: 10 suites / 294 tests passed. tsc --noEmit clean, eslint 0 errors, prettier clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • 新功能

    • 支持在虚拟列表中进行原生拖拽时的边缘自动滚动,拖拽至顶部或底部边缘即可自动滚动列表。
    • 拖拽离开容器、完成放置或结束拖拽后,自动停止滚动。
    • 嵌套虚拟列表拖拽时,仅当前目标列表响应边缘滚动。
    • 非虚拟列表不启用该行为。
  • 测试

    • 增加对拖拽边缘滚动、嵌套列表及各类停止条件的覆盖测试。

A virtual list does not scroll when an item is dragged to its top/bottom edge, so items outside the viewport can't be reached.

The container is `overflow: hidden`, which disables the browser's native drag-to-edge autoscroll, and the JS fallback in `useScrollDrag` cannot cover it: it runs on `mousemove`, which the browser does not fire during a native HTML5 drag. It also skips draggable targets on purpose (see react-component#386) so the mouse path never fights the native drag - that skip is kept as is.

Add `useDragEdgeScroll` next to it to drive the scrolling from the drag events: `dragover` computes the offset from the pointer's distance to the edge and keeps a rAF loop running, `dragleave` / `drop` / `dragend` cancel it.

`dragover` only fires while a native drag is in progress, so the hook needs no "is dragging" flag from the consumer and can stay mounted: consumers such as rc-tree get the behavior without passing any state.

`drop` and `dragend` are listened on the document in the capture phase, because a consumer's node may stop their propagation in the bubble phase (rc-tree's TreeNode does).

Band sizing (`min(itemHeight * 1.2, height / 4)`) and easing reuse `smoothScrollOffset` from `useScrollDrag`, so both paths feel the same.

In `@src/hooks/useDragEdgeScroll.ts`:
- Line 66: Update the onDragOver handler in useDragEdgeScroll to use a
_virtualHandled flag on the drag event: return immediately when the flag is
already set, otherwise mark it before performing edge-scroll processing. This
ensures only the innermost virtual List handles a bubbling dragover event and
starts the RAF loop.

In `@tests/dragEdgeScroll.test.js`:
- Line 151: Update the second fireDragOver call in the drag-edge scroll test to
use the same clientY value as the first call, 95, so both events produce the
same scroll offset and the assertion can distinguish one loop from two.

Comment thread src/hooks/useDragEdgeScroll.ts
Comment thread tests/dragEdgeScroll.test.js Outdated
A nested virtual List (see examples/nest.tsx) is rendered inside the item of another one, so a dragover on an inner item bubbles to both holders. Both useDragEdgeScroll listeners ran and each started its own rAF loop, scrolling the outer list as well.

Mark the event the same way useScrollDrag already does on mousedown: the innermost holder sees it first, the outer ones bail out. dragover fires repeatedly while the drag lasts, so the flag is set per event.

Also use the same clientY for the second dragover in the loop-reuse test. Different coordinates yield different offsets (floor(sqrt(19)) = 4 vs floor(sqrt(12)) = 3), which masked the difference between one loop and two - with one coordinate the assertion can actually tell them apart.
