Installation

Maven Central

Add the following dependency to your module build.gradle.kts file:

implementation("com.mohamedrejeb.dnd:compose-dnd:0.3.0")

Usage

Drag and Drop

To implement drag and drop functionality:

  • Create a DragAndDropState with rememberDragAndDropState.
val dragAndDropState = rememberDragAndDropState()

  • Add DragAndDropContainer composable which will wrap the draggable items.
DragAndDropContainer(
    state = dragAndDropState,
) {

}

  • Add DraggableItem composable for each draggable item.
DraggableItem(
    state = dragAndDropState,
    key = task.id, // Unique key for each draggable item
    data = task, // Data to be passed to the drop target
) {

}

  • Add Modifier.dropTarget for each drop target.
Modifier.dropTarget(
    state = dragAndDropState,
    key = task.id, // Unique key for each drop target
    onDrop = { state -> // Data passed from the draggable item
        // Handle drop
    }
)

Reorder List

To implement reorder list functionality:

  • Create a ReorderState with rememberReorderState.
val reorderState = rememberReorderState()

  • Add ReorderContainer composable which will wrap the reorderable items.
ReorderContainer(
    state = reorderState,
) {

}

  • Add ReorderableItem composable for each reorderable item.
ReorderableItem(
    state = reorderState,
    key = task.id, // Unique key for each reorderable item
    data = task, // Data to be passed to the drop target
    onDrop = { state -> // Data passed from the draggable item
        // Handle drop
    }
) {

}

The ReorderableItem composable is at the same time a DraggableItem and a dropTarget.

Enable/Disable Drag and Drop

If you want to enable/disable drag and drop functionality, you can use the enabled parameter in the DragAndDropContainer and ReorderContainer composable.

DragAndDropContainer(
    state = dragAndDropState,
    enabled = false
) {

}
ReorderContainer(
    state = reorderState,
    enabled = false
) {

}

This will disable the drag and drop functionality for all the draggable items.

If you want to disable drag and drop for a specific item, you can use the enabled parameter in the DraggableItem and ReorderableItem composable.

DraggableItem(
    state = dragAndDropState,
    key = task.id,
    data = task,
    enabled = false
) {

}
ReorderableItem(
    state = reorderState,
    key = task.id,
    data = task,
    onDrop = { state ->
        // Handle drop
    },
    enabled = false
) {

}
