DragTarget Widget

DragTarget Widget is a widget that receives data when a Draggable widget is dropped. When a draggable is dragged on top of a drag target, the drag target is asked whether it will accept the data the draggable is carrying. If the user does drop the draggable on top of the drag target, then the drag target is asked to accept the draggable’s data.

Properties:

builder(): builder() is called to build the contents of this DragTarget. The builder can build different widgets depending on what is being dragged into this drag target. builder() takes three parameters.
BuildContext: Context of a Widget.
candidateData: It contains the list of draggable data that will be accepted by DragTarget.
rejectedData: It contains the list of Draggable data that will not be accepted by DragTarget.
onWillAccept(): onWillAccept is called to determine whether this widget is interested in receiving a given piece of data being dragged over this drag target. or we can say that Takes a function which provides the data of Draggable to use as a parameter and returns bool based on whether Draggable will be accepted or not if onWillAccept returns true then onAccept is called.
onAccept(): Takes a function that provides the data of Draggable which was accepted by DragTarget.
onLeave: onLeave is called when Draggable leaves the DragTarget and not dropped into DragTarget.
