## What it is
React bindings for SortableJS that expose a ReactSortable component for building drag-and-drop sortable lists. It wraps the SortableJS library with a declarative React API supporting controlled list state and plugins like MultiDrag and Swap.

## Use cases
- reorder a list of items with drag and drop in react
- build a sortable shopping list or todo list component
- enable multi-item dragging in a react list
- swap items between sortable lists in react
- add drag-and-drop reordering to a kanban-style ui

## When to choose
- you want SortableJS features with a declarative React component API
- you need controlled list state that syncs with React useState or class state
- you need plugins like MultiDrag or Swap in a React app

## When to avoid
- you need a production-hardened solution - the README states it is not considered ready for production
- you are not using React and can use SortableJS directly
- you need complex nested or cross-container drag-and-drop beyond SortableJS capabilities
