A simple and declarative drag-and-drop library for React Native applications.
React Native Easy DnD is a lightweight library that enables drag-and-drop interactions in React Native applications. It solves the problem of implementing complex touch-based UI interactions by providing reusable components and a simple API. Developers can quickly add draggable elements and drop zones to create intuitive mobile interfaces.
React Native developers building apps that require interactive features like reordering lists, drag-to-sort interfaces, or custom gesture-based controls.
It stands out for its minimal setup, declarative component-based approach, and smooth animations, making it easier to implement than manual gesture handling or more heavyweight alternatives.
Drag and drop with react-native made simple
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Uses familiar React components like Draggable and Droppable, making integration intuitive and reducing boilerplate code, as shown in the README examples.
Built on React Native's Animated.View, providing seamless visual transitions during drag operations without additional animation setup.
Allows passing arbitrary data between draggable and droppable components, enabling dynamic interactions like item identification in onDrop callbacks.
Offers hooks such as onDragStart and onEnter, giving developers fine-grained control over the drag-and-drop lifecycle for custom logic.
Requires all draggable and droppable elements to be Animated.View, restricting flexibility with other React Native components or custom views.
Uses createDndContext to create providers, which can lead to complexity when managing multiple drag-and-drop zones or integrating with external state systems.
Lacks built-in support for features like nested droppables, drag handles, or touch gesture customization, limiting use in complex UI scenarios.
