A modular JavaScript drag-and-drop library from Shopify that abstracts native browser drag events into a comprehensive API, with Sortable, Droppable, and Swappable modules built on top of the core Draggable engine. It supports mouse, touch, and force touch events, is lightweight (~16kB), and is extensible via custom modules and sensors.
Use cases
- reorder list items by dragging
- build a kanban board with drag and drop
- swap two elements' positions on drag
- make elements draggable with touch support
- create custom drag and drop interactions with events
- implement sortable grids in vanilla JavaScript
When to choose
- you need fine-grained control over drag and drop behavior in vanilla JS or any framework
- you want a lightweight, modular library with sortable, swappable, and droppable modes
- you need touch and force touch support out of the box
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with guaranteed bug fixes, since Shopify no longer maintains it
- you want built-in accessibility or keyboard dragging, which is still incomplete
- your framework already ships a first-party drag-and-drop solution
