## What it is
Selecto.js is a TypeScript component library that lets users select elements by dragging a selection area with the mouse or touch. It ships framework wrappers for React, Preact, Angular, Vue 2/3, Svelte, and Lit.

## Use cases
- add drag-to-select to a grid of items
- implement marquee selection in a web app
- select multiple elements with mouse or touch
- build file managers with box selection
- add click-to-select alongside drag selection
- integrate selection into React, Vue, Angular, or Svelte apps

## When to choose
- you need drag-area element selection across multiple frameworks
- you want both mouse and touch selection support
- you're building on the Moveable/Scene.js ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you only need simple single-element click selection
- you need text selection rather than element selection
- your project doesn't use any of the supported frameworks or vanilla DOM

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser, cross-platform
