Usage

The useSortable hook requires an id and an index. It accepts all the same options as the Sortable class. Refer to the Input section below for more information.

import {useSortable} from '@dnd-kit/react/sortable';

function Sortable({id, index}) {
  const {ref} = useSortable({id, index});

  return (
    <li ref={ref}>Item {id}</li>
  );
}

function App() {
  const items = [1, 2, 3, 4];

  return (
    <ul>
      {items.map((id, index) =>
        <Sortable key={id} id={id} index={index} />
      )}
    </ul>
  );
}

​
API Reference

The useSortable hook is a thin wrapper around the Sortable class that makes it easier to create sortable elements in React. It therefore accepts all of the same input arguments.

​
Input

The useSortable hook accepts all of the same arguments as the useDraggable hook and useDroppable hooks, as well as additional arguments that are specific to sortable elements.

id
string | number
required

The identifier of the sortable element. Should be unique within the same drag and drop context provider.

index
number
required

The index of the sortable element. This is used to determine the position of the element in the list.

transition
{duration?: number; easing?: string: idle: boolean} | null

Optionally supply a transition to animate the sortable element when it is being sorted.

element
Element | Ref<Element>

If you already have a reference to the element, you can pass it to the element option instead of using the ref that is returned by the useSortable hook to connect the sortable element.

handle
Element | Ref<Element>

If you already have a reference to the drag handle element, you can pass it to the handle option instead of using the handleRef that is returned by the useSortable hook to connect the sortable handle element.

modifiers
Modifier[]

An array of modifiers that can be used to modify or restrict the behavior of the sortable element.

sensors
Sensors[]

An array of sensors that can be bound to the sortable element to detect drag interactions.

target
Element | Ref<Element>

If you already have a reference to the element you want to use as the droppable target for this sortable element, you can pass it to the target option instead of using the targetRef that is returned by the useSortable hook.

accepts
string | number | Symbol | (type: string | number | Symbol) => boolean

Optionally supply a type of draggable element to only allow it to be dropped over certina droppable targets that accept this type.

collisionDetector
(input: CollisionDetectorInput) => Collision | null

Optionally supply a collision detector function can be used to detect collisions between the droppable element and draggable elements.

collisionPriority
number

Optionally supply a number to set the collision priority of the droppable target of this sortable element. The higher the number, the higher the priority when detecting collisions. This can be useful if there are multiple droppable elements that overlap.

disabled
boolean

Set to true to prevent the sortable element from being sortable.

data
{[key: string]: any}

The data argument is for advanced use-cases where you may need access to additional data about the sortable element in event handlers, modifiers, sensors or custom plugins.

effects
(manager: DragDropManager) => Effect[]

This is an advanced feature and should not need to be used by most consumers.
You can supply a function that returns an array of reactive effects that can be set up and automatically cleaned up when the component invoking the useSortable hook element is unmounted.

​
Output

The useSortable hook returns an object containing the following properties:

ref
Ref<Element>

A React ref that can be assigned to the element you want to connect as the draggable element and droppable target for this sortable instance.

targetRef
Ref<Element>

A React ref that can be assigned to the element you want to use as the droppable target for this sortable element.

sourceRef
Ref<Element>

A React ref that can be assigned to the element you want to use as the draggable source element for this sortable element.

handleRef
Ref<Element>

A React ref that can be assigned to the element you want to use as the drag handle element for this sortable element.

isDropTarget
boolean

A boolean value that indicates whether the sortable element is currently a drop target.

isDragSource
boolean

A boolean value that indicates whether the sortable element is currently being dragged.
