Overview

This library will help you to drag and drop elements on the web. With a very simple use it is perfect for drag and drop in simple or even complex scenarios.

Install

npm install --save react-use-drag-and-drop

or

yarn add react-use-drag-and-drop

Usage

You need provide the drag and drop context

import { DragAndDropProvider } from 'react-use-drag-and-drop';

<DragAndDropProvider>
  ...
</DragAndDropProvider>

Now in your component you can use the hooks, first create your draggable component

import { useDrag } from 'react-use-drag-and-drop';


const MyComponentDraggable = () => {
  const htmlRef = useRef(null);

  //...

  const { isDragging, preview } = useDrag({
    id,
    canDrag: true,
    data: { counter },
    element: elementToDragRef,
    end: (props) => console.log('end', props),
    start: (props) => console.log('start', props),
  }, [counter, id]);

  //...


  return <button ref={htmlRef}>Drag button</button>
}

Now you ca create your droppable component

import { useDrop } from 'react-use-drag-and-drop';


const MyComponentDroppable = () => {
  const htmlRef = useRef(null);

  //...

  const [{ isDraggingOver, isDraggingOverCurrent }] = useDrop({
    id,
    element: elementToDropRef,
    drop: (data, monitor) => console.log('drop', data, monitor),
    hover: (data, monitor) => console.log('hover', data, monitor),
    leave: (data, monitor) => console.log('leave', data, monitor),
  }, [id]);

  //...


  return <div ref={htmlRef}>Drop area div</div>
}
