Features
---------------
* **Higher Order Components** – Integrates with your existing components
* **Drag handle, auto-scrolling, locked axis, events, and more!**
* **Suuuper smooth animations** – Chasing the 60FPS dream 🌈
* **Works with React Virtualized, React-Infinite, etc.**
* **Horizontal lists, vertical lists, or a grid** ↔ ↕ ⤡
* **Touch support** 👌

Installation
------------

Using [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-sortable-hoc):

	$ npm install react-sortable-hoc --save


Then, using a module bundler that supports either CommonJS or ES2015 modules, such as [webpack](https://github.com/webpack/webpack):

```js
// Using an ES6 transpiler like Babel
import {SortableContainer, SortableElement} from 'react-sortable-hoc';

// Not using an ES6 transpiler
var Sortable = require('react-sortable-hoc');
var SortableContainer = Sortable.SortableContainer;
var SortableElement = Sortable.SortableElement;
```

Alternatively, an UMD build is also available:
```html
<script src="react-sortable-hoc/dist/umd/react-sortable-hoc.js"></script>
```

Usage
------------
### Basic Example

```js
import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {render} from 'react-dom';
import {SortableContainer, SortableElement, arrayMove} from 'react-sortable-hoc';

const SortableItem = SortableElement(({value}) => <li>{value}</li>);

const SortableList = SortableContainer(({items}) => {
	return (
		<ul>
			{items.map((value, index) =>
                <SortableItem key={`item-${index}`} index={index} value={value} />
            )}
		</ul>
	);
});

class SortableComponent extends Component {
    state = {
        items: ['Item 1', 'Item 2', 'Item 3', 'Item 4', 'Item 5', 'Item 6']
    }
    onSortEnd = ({oldIndex, newIndex}) => {
        this.setState({
            items: arrayMove(this.state.items, oldIndex, newIndex)
        });
    };
    render() {
        return (
            <SortableList items={this.state.items} onSortEnd={this.onSortEnd} />
        )
    }
}

render(<SortableComponent/>, document.getElementById('root'));
```
That's it! React Sortable does not come with any styles by default, since it's meant to enhance your existing components.

Percentage values are relative to the height of the item currently being sorted. If you wish to specify different behaviours for locking to the *top* of the container vs the *bottom*, you may also pass in an `array` (For example: `["0%", "100%"]`).                            |

This property defaults to the `SortableContainer` element itself or (if `useWindowAsScrollContainer` is true) the window. Use this function to specify a custom container object (eg this is useful for integrating with certain 3rd party components such as `FlexTable`). This function is passed a single parameter (the `wrappedInstance` React element) and it is expected to return a DOM element. |

\* `OffsetValue` can either be a finite `Number` or a `String` made up of a number and a unit (`px` or `%`).
Examples: `10` (which is the same as `"10px"`), `"50%"`

Why should I use this?
--------------------
There are already a number of great Drag & Drop libraries out there (for instance, [react-dnd](https://github.com/gaearon/react-dnd/) is fantastic). If those libraries fit your needs, you should definitely give them a try first. However, most of those libraries rely on the HTML5 Drag & Drop API, which has some severe limitations. For instance, things rapidly become tricky if you need to support touch devices, if you need to lock dragging to an axis, or want to animate the nodes as they're being sorted. React Sortable HOC aims to provide a simple set of higher-order components to fill those gaps. If you're looking for a dead-simple, mobile-friendly way to add sortable functionality to your lists, then you're in the right place.

FAQ
---------------
### Grid support
Need to sort items in a grid? We've got you covered! Just set the `axis` prop to `xy`. Grid support is currently limited to a setup where all the cells in the grid have the same width and height, though we're working hard to get variable width support in the near future.

### Item disappearing when sorting / CSS issues

Upon sorting, `react-sortable-hoc` creates a clone of the element you are sorting (the _sortable-helper_) and appends it to the end of the `<body>` tag. The original element will still be in-place to preserve its position in the DOM until the end of the drag (with inline-styling to make it invisible). If the _sortable-helper_ gets messed up from a CSS standpoint, consider that maybe your selectors to the draggable item are dependent on a parent element which isn't present anymore (again, since the _sortable-helper_ is at the end of the `<body>`).


Dependencies
------------
React Sortable List has very few dependencies. It depends on `invariant` and a handful of `lodash` helpers. It has the following peerDependencies: `react`, `react-dom`
