Parent reference in block:drag
block:drag can't contain the reference to the component as it's not yet created before being dropped
Read full answer below ↓Question
I wonder if it is possible to get the parent and/or index during block:drag event for the resulting component, similar to the parent attribute in the component:drag event? It seems like the event argument passed does not contain any reference to parent. The reason I am asking is that I am working on a solution to preview the presumed drop result of a dragged block, using a box rather than the green line indicating the drop position.
