This project is in INACTIVE status, bugfix will be maintained, but no new feature will be added. Feel free to use it if it suits your need, for complicated sorting features I'd recommend [react-dnd](https://github.com/react-dnd/react-dnd) by dan.

# react-anything-sortable [](https://travis-ci.org/jasonslyvia/react-anything-sortable) [](http://badge.fury.io/js/react-anything-sortable) [](https://coveralls.io/github/jasonslyvia/react-anything-sortable?branch=master)
## Features
- Sort any React element you like, images, composite components, etc.
- No external dependencies but `React` itself
- Touch event support
- Thoroughly tested
## Quick Demo
[Live Demo](http://jasonslyvia.github.io/react-anything-sortable/demo/)
**Sort custom style children**
**Sort images**
**Children with custom event handler**
## Installation
```
$ npm install --save react-anything-sortable
// UMD build is provided as well, but please do consider use modern module bundlers like webpack or browserify.
```
You have to add necessary styles for sortable to work properly, if you're using bundle tools like webpack, just
```javascript
import 'react-anything-sortable/sortable.css';
```
Or copy this css to your own style base.
## How to use
You can check the straight-forward demo by examining `demo` folder, or here's a brief example.
In `app.js`
````javascript
var ReactDOM = require('react-dom');
var Sortable = require('react-anything-sortable');
var SortableItem = require('./SortableItem');
ReactDOM.render(
, document.body);
````
and in `SortableItem.js`
A modern usage would be
```javascript
import React from 'react';
import { SortableContainer } from 'react-anything-sortable';
@sortable
class SortableItem extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
your item
);
}
};
```
Or you want to construct it manually
```javascript
import React from 'react';
import { sortable } from 'react-anything-sortable';
@sortable
class SortableItem extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
your item // it contains required `className`s and
// event handlers
);
}
};
```
Or if you favor the old fashion way
````javascript
var React = require('react');
var createReactClass = require('create-react-class');
var SortableItemMixin = require('react-anything-sortable').SortableItemMixin;
var SortableItem = createReactClass({
mixins: [SortableItemMixin],
render: function(){
return this.renderWithSortable( // <-- this.renderWithSortable call is essential
your item
);
}
});
````
You can even pass un-sortable children to `` and it just works, checkout this [demo](http://jasonslyvia.github.io/react-anything-sortable/demo/#/fixed) to find out more. If you do so, remember to add according style to your un-sortable items.
## Props
### onSort
Type: Function Default: () => {}
Being called with sorted data when a sort operation is finished.
**Arguments**
1. sortedArray (*Array*) Sorted array consists of `sortData` plucked from each sortable item
2. currentDraggingSortData (*Any*) The sortData of dragging element
3. currentDraggingIndex (*Number*) The index of dragging element
### containment
Type: Bool Default: false
Constrain dragging area within sortable container.
[demo](http://jasonslyvia.github.io/react-anything-sortable/demo/index.html#/containment)
### dynamic
Type: Bool Default: false
Dynamically update the sortable when its children change. If using this option, make sure to use the onSort callback to update the order of the children passed to the Sortable component when the user sorts!
[demo](http://jasonslyvia.github.io/react-anything-sortable/demo/index.html#/dynamic)
### sortHandle
Type: String Default: undefined
A className to allow only matching element of sortable item to trigger sort operation.
[demo](http://jasonslyvia.github.io/react-anything-sortable/demo/index.html#/handle)
### sortData
**Add this props to `SortableItem` rather than `Sortable` !**
Type: Any Default: undefined
Will be returned by `onSort` callback in the form of array.
### direction
Type: String Default: false
Options: vertical, horizontal
Will force dragging direction to vertical or horizontal mode.
## Notice
1. Specify your style for `Sortable` and `Sortable Items`, check `sortable.css`, **it is NOT optional!**
2. Don't forget the `this.renderWithSortable` call in `SortableItem`, or spread props to your component if using decorators.
3. In order to dynamically add or remove `SortableItem`s or change their order from outside the `Sortable`, you must use the `dynamic` option. This also requires using the `onSort` callback to update the order of the children when sorting happens.
4. Make sure to add `draggable={false}` to images within sortable components to prevent glitching. See [here](https://github.com/jasonslyvia/react-anything-sortable/blob/master/demo/components/ImageItem.js) for an example.
