Description

An option to prevent resizing outside the parent would benefit especially for the case of preserving the aspect ratio. Currently when you resize outside the parent, the aspect ratio is completely lost.

The solution for this is simple, interact.js providing an option for this case: interact.modifiers.restrict({ restriction: 'parent' })

I can create a merge request myself.

Research direction
The issue requests adding an option to restrict resizing within the parent container to preserve aspect ratio. The proposed solution uses interact.js's `restrict` modifier. A contributor should implement this by adding a new prop (e.g., `restrictToParent`) and applying the modifier when resizing. The relevant code is likely in the resize handler of the grid item components, such as in `gridItem.js` or similar files. The issue is clear and the solution is well defined, making it a good candidate for a first time contributor.
