dnd-kit VS svelte-dnd-action

dndkit seemed very promising, until I realized the state of development [0], and critical performance issues if you want to use it for larger lists (individual issues linked within [0]). So it's fine if you need to use it for simple scenarios and a smaller number of items, but otherwise, it's inadequate in current state, unfortunately...The fact that the post was in Aug 2023, perf. issues still remain and there's low activity on issues in general, doesn't bode well...

dnd-kit is one of the newest ones, it is modern, light-weight, and performant.

Yup that's the one. Also recommend checking out [dnd-kit](https://dndkit.com), which we may migrate to at a later date.

You can drag and drop things in pure assembly by using native browsers APIs or using a library like https://dndkit.com/.

DND Kit is a React library for building complex drag-and-drop web applications. It provides a set of APIs for handling drag-and-drop interactions, making it easier to build custom drag-and-drop.

you can check https://dndkit.com for the drag and drop.

Interestingly, that's something I'm building currently. Not headless, it's for a company. But I've had some luck with https://github.com/isaacHagoel/svelte-dnd-action in a CSS Grid container.

Just to indirectly tack onto the other reply, you mentioned drag n drop. Here’s one for Svelte. There’s a lot of options for almost anything you’d want. But in reality, most standard things are so easy to do you don’t need a library. In general, with Svelte you tend to not have to reach for NPM, but if you really either want to use a library or you end up needing one, there’s plenty of svelte specific options as well as the endless vanilla js libraries

Browsers supported drag and drog for very long time, but it's fairly boilerplate-heavy code. So before we write our own, let's see how Svelte ecosystem looks like, and give svelte-dnd-action a try.
