About Pragmatic drag and drop
Pragmatic drag and drop is a performance-focused drag and drop library from Atlassian. It makes the browser's built-in drag and drop easier and safer to use on any tech stack.
What it does
The library wraps native drag and drop events with a simpler API, so you can build lists, boards and other drag interfaces. It is framework neutral. The site includes a tutorial, a core package and optional packages for common needs.
Key features
- Built on native browser drag and drop
- Framework neutral, works on any stack
- Core package with optional add-on packages
- Tutorial and examples for common layouts
- Designed with performance as a focus
Who it's for
Engineering teams building drag interfaces in large apps, such as boards, lists and sortable tables, who need a fast base to build on.
Pricing and good to know
Check the project page for the current licence and release phase of each package before you adopt it. The library is aimed at teams that want to own their drag UI, so expect to write some of the interaction code yourself. Its design guidance covers accessibility as well.
