Components

Provider

Is the context Root component. it requires 2 props, the htmlBackend and the onDrop handler

import React from "react";
import { Provider, OnDrop } from "react-nested-dnd";
import { HTML5Backend } from "react-dnd-html5-backend";

const MyApp = () => {
  const [state, setState] = useState();
  const onDrop: OnDrop = ({ source, destination, dropType, sameSource }) => {
    const { index: srcIndex, droppableId: srcContainerId } = source;
    const { index: destIndex, droppableId: destContainerId } = destination;
    // your application logic goes here
    // setState(newState)
  };
  return (
    <Provider onDrop={onDrop} htmlBackend={HTML5Backend}>
      <Children />
    </Provider>
  );
};

Draggable

is the draggable element wrapper. it requires 5 props:

• type the Draggable item type
• id its own id
• droppableId its parent id, the id of the list it belongs to
• index its index in the items list.
• children a callback that provides some style props and snapShot

import React from "react";
import { Draggable } from "react-nested-dnd";

const DraggableItem = (props: {
  value: number;
  id: string;
  parentId: string;
}) => {
  const type = props.value % 2 === 0 ? "even" : "odd";

  return (
    <Draggable
      droppableId={props.parentId}
      id={props.id}
      index={index}
      type={type}
    >
      {(providedStyle, snapshot) => {
        return (
          <div
            {...providedStyle}
            className={snapshot.isDragging ? "dragging" : ""}
          >
            {props.value}
          </div>
        );
      }}
    </Draggable>
  );
};

Droppable

the draggable items list container. it requires 3 props

• id the droppable id
• accept array of allowed draggable item types.
• children a call back that provides a droppable style, a place holder for the dragged item and the droppable component snapshot

import React from "react";
import { Droppable } from "react-nested-dnd";

const DroppableList = (props: {
    id: string;
    items: number[];
  ;
}) => {

  const Items = props.items.map((item, index) => <DraggableItem droppableId={props.id} {...restOfItemProps}/>)

  return (
    <Droppable id={props.id} accept={["even", "odd"]}>
      {(providedStyle, snapshot, placeholder) => {
        return (
          <div {...providedStyle}>
            {Items}
            // when an item is dragged over the container, we should add a placehold so the container will have enought space for the item to be dropped
            {placeholder}
          </div>
        );
      }}
    </Droppable>
  );
};

useOnDrop

here is an example of how we can handle onDrop using a custom hook

// utils.ts

const initialValues = {
  workspace: {
    containersOrder: ["container-1", "container-2"] as const,
  },
  containers: {
    "container-1": {
      id: "container-1",
      items: ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"],
      isNested: false,
    },
    "container-2": {
      id: "container-2",
      items: ["6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11"],
      isNested: false,
    },
  },
  items: {
    "1": { id: "1", text: "one", type: "odd" },
    "2": { id: "2", text: "two", type: "even" },
    "3": { id: "3", text: "three", type: "odd" },
    "4": { id: "4", text: "four", type: "even" },
    "5": { id: "5", text: "five", type: "odd" },
    "6": { id: "6", text: "six", type: "even" },
    "7": { id: "7", text: "seven", type: "odd" },
    "8": { id: "8", text: "height", type: "even" },
    "9": { id: "9", text: "nine", type: "odd" },
    "10": { id: "10", text: "ten", type: "even" },
    "11": { id: "11", text: "eleven", type: "odd" },
  },
};

    const newState = { ...state };
    type ContainerKey = keyof typeof newState.containers;
