A low-level, headless drag and drop toolchain built on the browser's native drag and drop APIs, usable with any frontend framework. It powers products like Trello, Jira, and Confluence and ships a tiny ~4.7kB core with optional packages for visuals and accessibility.

Use cases

• add drag and drop to a react app
• build sortable lists in vue
• implement kanban board dragging
• create dropzones for file uploads
• make a trello-style board
• framework-agnostic drag and drop library
• accessible drag and drop with keyboard support

When to choose

• you need fast, lightweight drag and drop across any framework
• you want full control over rendering and styling (headless)
• you need virtualization support or cross-browser consistency including mobile
• you need assistive technology support for dragging

When to avoid

• you want a batteries-included, pre-styled drag and drop component
• you need drag and drop outside the browser (native/desktop apps)
• you prefer a single opinionated package over assembling small pieces
