React Arborist is a React component library providing a full-featured, virtualized tree view with drag-and-drop, inline renaming, keyboard navigation, and filtering. It is designed to build UIs like VSCode sidebars, file explorers, or Figma layers panels.

Use cases

• render a virtualized file explorer tree in react
• build a gmail-style sidebar with collapsible folders
• add drag and drop reordering to a hierarchical list
• create a figma-like layers panel
• implement multi-select tree with keyboard navigation
• filter and search a large tree of nodes

When to choose

• you need a performant tree view for thousands of nodes in React
• you want built-in drag-and-drop, renaming, and selection out of the box
• you need controlled or uncontrolled tree state with custom node rendering

When to avoid

• your project is not React-based
• you only need a simple static list without hierarchy
• you need a headless tree with no bundled behavior
