The JavaScript Drag & Drop library your grandparents warned you about.
Currently in beta! While Draggable is very close to a full release, the API is still subject to change. We keep an updated CHANGELOG with every release, so when upgrading from a previous version, please check and see what has changed.
Get complete control over drag and drop behaviour with Draggable! Draggable abstracts
native browser events into a comprehensive API to create a custom drag and drop experience.
Draggable comes with additional modules: Sortable, Droppable, Swappable. Draggable
itself does not perform any sorting behaviour while dragging, but does the heavy lifting, e.g.
creates mirror, emits events, manages sensor events, makes elements draggable.
The additional modules are built on top of Draggable and therefore provide a similar API
interface, for more information read the documentation below.
Features
You can install the library via npm.
npm install @shopify/draggable --save
or via yarn:
yarn add @shopify/draggable

You can find the documentation for each module within their respective directories.
To run the examples project locally, simply run the following from the draggable root:
yarn && yarn start
This will start a server that hosts the contents of examples/. It also watches for file
changes from both src/ and examples/src and reloads the browser.
Contributions are more than welcome, the code base is still new and needs more love.
For more information, please checkout the contributing document.
We are currently working on v1.0.0-beta.8. Check out the project board to see tasks and follow progress on the release. Any Pull Requests should be pointed against the feature branch v1.0.0-beta.8.
