Blog post from LogRocket
Sortable.js is a popular library for handling drag-and-drop, list sorting, and reordering in JavaScript applications, with widespread support across frameworks like React, AngularJS, and Vue, as well as compatibility with most modern browsers. The tutorial focuses on implementing Sortable.js in a React project using the react-sortablejs wrapping component, allowing users to create, edit, and delete list items while toggling between list and grid views. The process involves setting up a React environment, installing necessary dependencies like Axios and Bootstrap, and managing state and CRUD operations through components such as ActionModal and ListItem. The tutorial highlights the importance of using object IDs for list items to ensure sorting functionality and demonstrates how to customize the user interface with styled-components and CSS. It encourages users to explore official documentation for further customization and understanding of Sortable.js and react-sortablejs.
