Used to set the custom common class of each handle element. This way you can style each handle individually using the selector <your class>-<handle code>, where handle code identifies one of the handles provided by the handle prop.

So for example, this component:

<vue-draggable-resizable class-name-handle="my-handle-class"></vue-draggable-resizable>

renders the following:

<div ...>
  <div class="my-handle-class my-handle-class-tl"></div>
  <div class="my-handle-class my-handle-class-tm"></div>
  <div class="my-handle-class my-handle-class-tr"></div>
  [...]
</div>

scale

Required: false
Default: 1

disableUserSelect

enableNativeDrag

Required: false

<vue-draggable-resizable :enable-native-drag="true">

active

Type: Boolean
Required: false

Styling

You can style the component using appropriate class names passed as props to the component. Moreover you can replace the default styles for the handles, provided in the source file vue-draggable-resizable.css, but you should take care to define position and size for them. The default classes for handles are handle and handle-tl, handle-br and so on.

The component also provides named slots for each handle, so you can use your markup inside each one.
