React Beautiful Dnd<\/strong><\/h3><p>React Beautiful dnd is the most popular library to build React Drag and Drop lists easily. It has already won the hearts of 23.8k developers on GitHub, thanks to its high performance. It has a clean and powerful API that is easy to work with and it fits well with any modern browser.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"313\" data-src=\"https:\/\/flatlogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/unnamed.gif\" alt=\"react beautiful dnd\n\" class=\"wp-image-6423 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/313;\" \/><\/figure><p><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/atlassian\/react-beautiful-dnd\"><strong>GitHub<\/strong><\/a><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. React Drag and Drop Container<\/strong><\/h3><p>Here the name of the library speaks for itself. React Drag Drop container offers functionality for mouse and touch devices; i.e. it allows you to set up a draggable element, and drop a target for it, plus, it highlights the drop target when dragging over it (<code>highlightClassName<\/code>). Also, you can drag an element copy of the element, or let the element disappear while dragging (<code>disappearDraggedElement<\/code>).<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"333\" data-src=\"https:\/\/flatlogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2.gif\" alt=\"react drag and drop container\" class=\"wp-image-6424 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/333;\" \/><\/figure><p><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/peterh32\/react-drag-drop-container\"><strong>GitHub<\/strong><\/a><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Draggable<\/strong><\/h3><p>Another well-deserved library does not perform any sorting behavior while dragging, it has the following modules: Droppable, Sortable, and Swappable. Draggable itself does not perform any sorting behavior while dragging, but does the heavy lifting, e.g. creates a mirror, emits events, manages sensor events, and makes elements draggable.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" data-src=\"https:\/\/flatlogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/draggable-1.gif\" alt=\"draggable\" class=\"wp-image-6425 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/338;\" \/><\/figure><p><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Shopify\/draggable\"><strong>GitHub<\/strong><\/a><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. React Grid Layout<\/strong><\/h3><p>React Grid Layout library has 13,5k &#x2b50; stars on GitHub. React Grid Layout has an ascetic design with static widgets, draggable and resizable widgets, and it supports breakpoints. You can drag the elements, and you can resize them. The closest similar instrument is called<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/metafizzy\/packery\"> Packery<\/a>, though this is a bin-packing layout library using jQuery, which React Grid Layout doesn&#8217;t use.<\/p><p>&#x2795;: React-Grid-Layout works well with complex grid layouts that require drag-and-drop, such as dashboards which can be resized(e.g., looker, data visualization products, etc.)<\/p><p><strong>&#x2796;<\/strong>: Because of the clunky API, React-Grid-Layout may need more calculations and it&#8217;s a better fit for large-scale apps.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"286\" data-src=\"https:\/\/flatlogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/unnamed-1.gif\" alt=\"react grid layout\" class=\"wp-image-6426 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 512px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 512\/286;\" \/><\/figure><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.

It has the sort option, group option, delay option, delayOnTouchOnly option, swapThreshold option, and many other essential features for implementing drag-and-drop components. React DND works well with grids, and one-dimensional lists, but it&#8217;s harder to work with than for instance the well-known react-beautiful-dnd when you need to customize something individually.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"471\" height=\"512\" data-src=\"https:\/\/flatlogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sdfadsf.gif\" alt=\"react dnd\" class=\"wp-image-6429 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 471px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 471\/512;\" \/><\/figure><p><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/react-dnd\/react-dnd\/\"><strong>GitHub<\/strong><\/a><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7.
