## What it is
A React component library that makes elements draggable via a simple <Draggable> wrapper, using CSS Transforms for positioning. It supports controlled and uncontrolled usage, includes TypeScript types, and works with React 16.3+.

## Use cases
- make elements draggable in react
- drag and drop ui components
- build draggable widgets or panels
- create movable cards in a dashboard
- implement drag interactions without a wrapper dom element

## When to choose
- you need simple, focused drag functionality for React elements
- you want a lightweight library with TypeScript support
- you need controlled or uncontrolled drag state
- you want to avoid wrapper DOM nodes around your elements

## When to avoid
- you need full drag-and-drop with sortable lists or grid reordering
- you are not using React
- you need touch or multi-pointer gesture support beyond basic dragging
- your element already relies on CSS Transforms that must be preserved
