Build Interactive UIs: Create Draggable Components with React-Draggable

Unlock the Power of React-Draggable: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Task List

What is React-Draggable?

React-Draggable is a simple yet powerful library that allows you to add drag-and-drop functionality to your React components. By applying CSS transformations, you can create intuitive and user-friendly interfaces that enhance the overall user experience.

Getting Started with React-Draggable

To start using React-Draggable, make sure you have a React project set up on your local machine. Then, navigate to the project and run the following command in the terminal:

npm install react-draggable

Importing the Draggable Component

Once installed, import the <Draggable/> component from the library and wrap it around the element or component you want to make draggable.

Creating a Task List with Draggable Components

Let’s create a task list with three columns: Planning, In Progress, and Done. We’ll use React-Draggable to make the tasks draggable within their respective columns.

Setting Up the Project Structure

Create the following folder structure for our project:

• App.js
• Header.js
• AddTaskForm.js
• Planning.js
• InProgress.js
• Done.js
• Card.js
• App.css

Creating the Task List Components

Create the Header component and add the following code:

“`jsx
import React from ‘eact’;

const Header = () => {
// Add handleSubmit function as a prop
return (

);
};

export default Header;
“`

Create the AddTaskForm component and add the following code:

“`jsx
import React, { useState } from ‘eact’;

const AddTaskForm = () => {
const [task, setTask] = useState({});

const handleSubmit = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
// Add task to the task list
};

return (

);
};

export default AddTaskForm;
“`

Create the Planning, InProgress, and Done components and add the following code:

“`jsx
import React from ‘eact’;

const Planning = () => {
const tasks = [
{ id: 1, name: ‘Task 1’, timeline: ‘planning’ },
{ id: 2, name: ‘Task 2’, timeline: ‘planning’ },
];

return (

);
};

export default Planning;
“`

Create the Card component and add the following code:

“`jsx
import React from ‘eact’;
import { Draggable } from ‘eact-draggable’;

const Card = ({ task, onDelete }) => {
return (

{task.name}

{task.timeline}
