Connected lists

[slmgc]

Is there a way to drag items from one list to another?

Not currently. I may look into implementing a DropTarget higher order component, but that's a bit out of scope at the moment. If that's the kind of functionality you're looking for, you should perhaps try react-dnd

@clauderic I was thinking about functionality similar to https://github.com/RubaXa/Sortable
It allows to have connected lists. React-dnd is not the best option.

@slmgc One way I wonder if this would work is if you fake the two separate lists as one list with a divider but I imagine that would work only for very limited cases.. Sortable library does look cool!

This library seems great! We use react dnd largely for firing actions when dragging between and over lists. For example, imagine dragging a school activity up and down to sort within the activity's list, or further down to drop into a different activity group, or across the screen to drop onto a group of students to assign them that activity. But a few of our lists would really benefit from react-virtualized and, from a quick glance, integrating dnd with virtualized seems like it might get ugly. I know this case is sort of what react-dnd is designed for, but I wonder how much of it can be handled with a lighter weight drop target HOC for react-sortable-hoc.

@slmgc @nperichSYKES I'm curious where did you guys end up here? Did you end up with a solution for connected lists using this library or another?

[slmgc]

@oyeanuj I used https://github.com/RubaXa/Sortable. My implementation with connected lists is about 100 LoC.

@slmgc Thanks! Possible to share a gist of that implementation to get a sense of how it works?

[slmgc]

@oyeanuj I'm currently working on another project, but I'll try to find my implementation

[jasonhargrove]

So close, but without this feature, so far. Great job all around though, thanks!

[oyeanuj]

@slmgc Any luck/update on finding that implementation? Appreciate you looking!
