openchakra VS sortablejs

Are you using opencharka[0] then? I investigated that a while ago and was not very impressed or happy with any code that it generated, but curious to see if you've figured something else out.

Do you know of any open source drag and drop builders? I would love to be able to create my own components and drag and drop to combine them. If you know of any that are React specific, that would be great, but any builder would be helpful.

One example that I know of is https://openchakra.app/ for React apps that are using Chakra UI.

The original idea and inspiration for the Crayons Playground came from the full-featured visual editor and code generator for React using Chakra UI called openchakra. All the underlying architecture, code organization and design & communication patterns are borrowed from openchakra. The only difference is Crayons Playground doesn't make use of any JavaScript framework whereas openchakra is completely built using React.

In a nutshell, I wanted to easily add in all the components / design system from Material UI or Ant Design into the drag and drop interface, so I can play around with them, in a way similar to https://openchakra.app/

I started doing some mock-ups in my brain. Then I recreated some of them on Figma and then decided to start building. I started with OpenChakra (because I am using Chakra UI, more on that later).

Would you two be able to share some take-aways from that conversation at some point? Maybe write up a short comparison of the projects as they are now and any differences in roadmap/vision that could be relevant.

I always appreciate when OSS projects put in effort to understand and position themselves in relation to competitors (or potential collaborators).

Also want to mention some open-source React visual drag and drop page editors that might be useful for inspiration or to eliminate possible duplicate work. There's OpenChakra [0] and Blocks [1], which are apps, and then there's craft.js, a library that aims to modularize "the building blocks of a page editor" and seems to have more emphasis on customizing the actual editor UI.

Best of luck to you both!

We've been using SortableJS for years for similar functionality.

https://sortablejs.github.io/Sortable/

Well, it worked. But only for one case: dragging stuff within only one column. You see, stimulus-sortable uses SortableJS under the hood, which is powerful.

Maybe: https://github.com/SortableJS/Sortable Can do this not sure.

Well, there are obvious leading contenders like `https://sortablejs.github.io/Sortable/` and, within the `vue` space, `https://sortablejs.github.io/vue.draggable.next/`. Most of the stuff I looked at was unmaintained (lots not updated for vue3).

I really disliked the vuedraggable was handling nesting, and it's just a wrapper around a sortable. At the end of the day, my problem was simple enough that I didn't want a 500kb dependency. If you're wanting to do something like the OP but with nesting, I'd definitely start by looking at Sortable, though (maybe wrapping it the way you want).

Have you looked into alternatives to SortableJS btw? It's a good library but it's also pretty big (43kb) based on https://github.com/SortableJS/Sortable/blob/master/Sortable.min.js.
