Simple React Component for reordering elements

This is a simple React component that will enable you to reorder HTML elements. You can drag any component and change their position.

Installation

Installation is done using the npm install command:

$ npm install react-drag-reorder

Example

Import Draggable from react-drag-reorder and wrap it between the components that you would like to drag and reorder.

// ES6
import { Draggable } from "react-drag-reorder";

You would have to wrap the Draggable component to the components that you would like to reorder.

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { Draggable } from "react-drag-reorder";

class Drag extends Component {
  state = {
    words: ["Hello", "Hi", "How are you", "Cool"],
  };
  render() {
    return (
      <div className="flex-container">
        <div className="row">
          <Draggable>
            {this.state.words.map((word, idx) => {
              return (
                <div key={idx} className="flex-item">
                  {word}
                </div>
              );
            })}
          </Draggable>
        </div>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default Drag;

Getting the current position and new position of element

Props	Description	type
onPosChange	subscribe to change events	function (currentPos , newPos)

Example

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { Draggable } from "react-drag-reorder";

class Drag extends Component {
  state = {
    words: ["Hello", "Hi", "How are you", "Cool"],
  };

  getChangedPos = (currentPos, newPos) => {
    console.log(currentPos, newPos);
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="flex-container">
        <div className="row">
          <Draggable onPosChange={this.getChangedPos}>
            {this.state.words.map((word, idx) => {
              return (
                <div key={idx} className="flex-item">
                  {word}
                </div>
              );
            })}
          </Draggable>
        </div>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default Drag;

Updates

1.0

Support added to contain nested draggable components.

Please make sure to sort the parent components first before reordering the child.

class Test extends Component {
  state = {
    words: ["Hello", "Hi", "How are you", "Cool"],
    languages: ["C", "C++", "Java", "JS"],
    shows: ["GOT", "Friends", "Big Bang"],
  };
  render() {
    return (
      <Draggable>
        <div className="row">
          <p className="text">Words</p>
          <Draggable>
            {this.state.words.map((word, idx) => {
              return (
                <div key={idx} className="flex-item">
                  {word}
                </div>
              );
            })}
          </Draggable>
        </div>
        <div className="row">
          <p className="text">Languages</p>
          <Draggable>
            {this.state.languages.map((lng, idx) => {
              return (
                <div key={idx} className="flex-item">
                  {lng}
                </div>
              );
            })}
          </Draggable>
        </div>
        <div className="row">
          <p className="text">Shows</p>
          <Draggable>
            {this.state.shows.map((lng, idx) => {
              return (
                <div key={idx} className="flex-item">
                  {lng}
                </div>
              );
            })}
