Features

Modern and easy-to-use drag&drop library for react-native.

• Modern and future-proof: Built on react-native-reanimated v3

• Hooks based: Exposes powerful hooks useDraggable and useDroppable to build your own primitive components.

• Ready to use: Out-of-the-box configurable components like Draggable and Droppable to quickly get started.

• Powerful & Performant: The implementation has been tailored for advanced use cases where performance is critical. It can be used for a wide range of use cases like sorting items.

Check the Documentation for usage details.

• react-native-gesture-handler@>=2

You first need to add them as dependencies:

npm install react-native-reanimated react-native-gesture-handler --save
# or
yarn add react-native-reanimated react-native-gesture-handler
# or
pnpm add react-native-reanimated react-native-gesture-handler

Then you must follow their respective installation instructions:

• react-native-reanimated
• react-native-gesture-handler

Quickstart

import { DndProvider, DndProviderProps, Draggable, Droppable } from "@mgcrea/react-native-dnd";
import type { FunctionComponent } from "react";
import { SafeAreaView, StyleSheet, Text } from "react-native";
import { GestureHandlerRootView, State } from "react-native-gesture-handler";

export const App: FunctionComponent = () => {
  const handleDragEnd: DndProviderProps["onDragEnd"] = ({ active, over }) => {
    "worklet";
    if (over) {
      console.log("onDragEnd", { active, over });
    }
  };

  const handleBegin: DndProviderProps["onBegin"] = () => {
    "worklet";
    console.log("onBegin");
  };

  const handleFinalize: DndProviderProps["onFinalize"] = ({ state }) => {
    "worklet";
    console.log("onFinalize");
    if (state !== State.FAILED) {
      console.log("onFinalize");
    }
  };

  return (
    <SafeAreaView>
      <GestureHandlerRootView>
        <DndProvider onBegin={handleBegin} onFinalize={handleFinalize} onDragEnd={handleDragEnd}>
          <Droppable id="drop" style={styles.box}>
            <Text>DROP</Text>
          </Droppable>
          <Draggable id="drag" style={styles.box}>
            <Text>DRAG</Text>
          </Draggable>
        </DndProvider>
      </GestureHandlerRootView>
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  box: {
    margin: 24,
    padding: 24,
    height: 128,
    width: 128,
    justifyContent: "center",
    alignItems: "center",
    backgroundColor: "darkseagreen",
  },
});
