  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • sortablejs

    Reorderable drag-and-drop lists for modern browsers and touch devices. No jQuery or framework required.

  • 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.

  • stimulus-sortable

    A Stimulus controller to reorder lists with drag-and-drop.

  • Well, it's open source, then why not enhance it? And I did locally, it was not that hard: pulled the stimulus-sortable repository, wrote a couple lines of code (see diff below), ran yarn build and provided the path to my local package in my original project. It was good to go and it worked.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
