<div class="demo-description">
<p>When working with nested droppables &#8212; for example, you may have an editable directory structure displayed as a tree, with folder and document nodes &#8212; the <code>greedy</code> option set to true prevents event propagation when a draggable is dropped on a child node (droppable).</p>
