## What it is
A drag-and-drop library for React Native built on Reanimated 4 and Gesture Handler, providing Draggable, Droppable, and Sortable components with 60fps UI-thread animations. It supports sortable lists and grids, multiple collision detection algorithms, and full TypeScript typing.

## Use cases
- add drag and drop to a react native app
- build sortable lists with drag handles
- implement draggable kanban-style grids
- detect drop targets with collision detection
- create smooth 60fps gesture animations in react native
- drag and drop in an expo app

## When to choose
- building a React Native or Expo app needing performant drag-and-drop
- you want sortable lists or grids with smooth UI-thread animations
- you prefer a TypeScript-first, mobile-native DnD API

## When to avoid
- building for the web rather than React Native
- your project uses an old React Native version without the New Architecture or Reanimated 4
- you need drag-and-drop for desktop frameworks

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: animation, ui-components, state-management
- domain: mobile-development, frontend, cross-platform
- platform: -
- tags: drag-and-drop, reanimated, gesture-handler, sortable-lists, collision-detection, react-native, ios, android, typescript, expo
