  • pragmatic-drag-and-drop

    Fast drag and drop for any experience on any tech stack

  • Don't miss the site link: https://atlassian.design/components/pragmatic-drag-and-drop/...

    And comparison: https://atlassian.design/components/pragmatic-drag-and-drop/...

    I'm a big fan of Atlassian's component offerings and related documentation. Their technical writing quality has been a target for me when working on design systems.

  • dnd-kit

    The modern, lightweight, performant, accessible and extensible drag & drop toolkit for React.

  • 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...

  • sortablejs

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

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