Dragula is a lightweight vanilla JavaScript drag-and-drop library that lets users reorder and move elements between containers with minimal setup. It provides a simple API with rich lifecycle events for drag, drop, cancel, and reorder interactions.

Use cases

• add drag and drop to reorder list items
• move elements between two containers
• sortable kanban-style lists
• drag-and-drop without jQuery or framework dependencies
• reorder DOM elements with vanilla JavaScript
• handle drag events like drop, cancel, and remove

When to choose

• you want simple, dependency-free drag-and-drop in plain JavaScript
• you need to move or reorder elements between containers
• you want a tiny library with a straightforward event API

When to avoid

• you need touch-free accessibility or advanced drag features like multi-select
• you're using a framework with its own drag-and-drop ecosystem (e.g., React DnD)
• you need file drag-and-drop uploads rather than element reordering
