sortablejs VS react-grid-layout

We can also pass all the options for SortableJS as the second parameter. See SortableJS Docs.

SortableJS is a touch-friendly library that enables drag-and-drop sorting of lists. Its simple API and flexibility make it a go-to solution for implementing sortable lists, providing an intuitive user experience for rearranging items on the fly.

Sortable.js

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

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.

React-Grid-Layout is a user-friendly yet powerful library. My development experience with this library has been excellent. Its GitHub repository provides comprehensive documentation and live demos, making it highly recommended for developers to have a try.

Nice, I was just adding https://github.com/react-grid-layout/react-grid-layout to a dashboard, where you can drag/re-order charts. I assume this would make the implementation better.

Flexbox and Grid Layout: Leverage CSS features like flexbox and grid layout to create responsive layouts that adapt to different screen sizes

You can find additional information about the React-Grid-Layout in the repository and documentation.

This is react-grid-layout with some custom logic https://github.com/react-grid-layout/react-grid-layout

react-grid-layout looks like a good candidate, but it seems like it lacks a way to customize/add rules for positioning elements to prevent "stacks" of elements. Imagine a user models a brick wall and you want to prevent users from stacking bricks above each other (prevent bricks stack bond and allow something like running bond brick pattern)

I was looking to build a somewhat similar project with react and react grid layout.

Would it be possible to prototype something like this in figma? http://react-grid-layout.github.io/react-grid-layout/examples/0-showcase.html

react-grid-layout A draggable and resizable grid layout with responsive breakpoints, for React.
