Hi there, my name is Fupeng Wang.
I am a senior full-stack engineer, and author of a 17.5k open-source project, PMP. Now I am developing a Notion-style knowledge base
HuashuiAI including AI writing and collaboration, using React Nextjs and Supabase.
In this article, I will share how to implement tree-list drag and drop sortable by React and dnd-kit. The source code link is at the bottom of this article.
Dnd-kit and Sortable component
Dnd-kit is a common drag-drop tool in the React ecosystem, and it supports sortable by default.
<DndContext sensors={sensors} collisionDetection={closestCenter} onDragEnd={handleDragEnd} > <SortableContext items={items} strategy={verticalListSortingStrategy} > {items.map(id => <SortableItem key={id}> <p>But it can only support the one-level list. If we want to implement a multi-level nested list (or tree), we have to customize it.</p> <h2> Define state date structure </h2> <p>Modern front-end frameworks such as React Vue are data-driven views, so defining data structures first and then considering UI rendering.</p> <p>The most common data structure definition for multi-level nested lists (trees) is as follows, and virtual DOM vnode is also defined in this way.<br> </p> <pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false">const defaultItems = [ { id: 'A', children: [] }, { id: 'B', children: [ { id: 'B1', children: [] }, { id: 'B2', children: [ { id: 'B2a', children: [] }, { id: 'B2b', children: [] }, ], }, ], }, { id: 'C', children: [] }, { id: 'D', children: [ { id: 'D1', children: [] }, { id: 'D2', children: [] }, ], }, { id: 'E', children: [] }, ]
Multi-level nested SortableContext is not feasible
Because the state data structure is nested, the first thing that comes to my mind is to nest and render the UI structure together.
Firstly, nest Then, continue nesting the subordinate The running effect is as follows. The problem is that drag and drop sorting is allowed within the same level, but cross level sorting is not possible because it is not a context - which is reasonable Since nesting is not feasible, it is necessary to convert multiple levels into the single level. But it is necessary to add the ancestorsIds attribute for each item, firstly to display the depth of the hierarchy, and secondly to know what parent nodes it has. The rendering effect after conversion is as follows, and you can now drag and sort it. However, it will not take effect until the state sorting is modified. In addition, we can also determine whether it can be moved through the hierarchical relationship of ancestorsIDs. The parent node cannot be moved to its child nodes, otherwise the loop will be dead. For example, in the above figure, if we want to drag B2 to the position of B2a, we will find that the ancestorsIDs of B2a contain B2. This is not possible because you cannot drag an item to its own subordinate. For ease of operation, the data is placed in the Zustand global store. Dnd-kit refers to the dragged element as an activeItem and the placed target location as an overItem. So modifying state data means moving activeItem to the position of overItem. If it is a single level, Dnd-kit provides a method arrayMove that can be directly modified. The doc link https://docs.dndkit.com/presets/sortable But in multi-level nested lists (trees), you need to implement it yourself, which is a bit troublesome. The core code is here, and you can download the source code (at the end of the article) for reference. As shown in the figure below, when dragging A under B, A will move to the bottom of B as a whole, not inside B. To solve this problem, it is necessary to determine whether there are any child elements of B after B. If so, assign overItem to its child elements Then insert the current active element into the first element of items.

The above is the detailed content of React dnd-kit, implement tree-list drag and drop sortable. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
Multi level conversion to a single level is feasible
interface IItem {
id: string
ancestorIds?: string[]
children?: IItem[]
}
function flatten(items: IItem[]): IItem[] {
return items.reduce<IItem[]>((acc, item) => {
acc.push(item)
if (item.children) {
const children = item.children.map((i) => ({
...i,
ancestorIds: [...(item.ancestorIds || []), item.id], // add ancestorIds
}))
acc.push(...flatten(children))
}
return acc
}, [])
}

There are three common ways to initiate HTTP requests in Node.js: use built-in modules, axios, and node-fetch. 1. Use the built-in http/https module without dependencies, which is suitable for basic scenarios, but requires manual processing of data stitching and error monitoring, such as using https.get() to obtain data or send POST requests through .write(); 2.axios is a third-party library based on Promise. It has concise syntax and powerful functions, supports async/await, automatic JSON conversion, interceptor, etc. It is recommended to simplify asynchronous request operations; 3.node-fetch provides a style similar to browser fetch, based on Promise and simple syntax

JavaScript data types are divided into primitive types and reference types. Primitive types include string, number, boolean, null, undefined, and symbol. The values are immutable and copies are copied when assigning values, so they do not affect each other; reference types such as objects, arrays and functions store memory addresses, and variables pointing to the same object will affect each other. Typeof and instanceof can be used to determine types, but pay attention to the historical issues of typeofnull. Understanding these two types of differences can help write more stable and reliable code.

Which JavaScript framework is the best choice? The answer is to choose the most suitable one according to your needs. 1.React is flexible and free, suitable for medium and large projects that require high customization and team architecture capabilities; 2. Angular provides complete solutions, suitable for enterprise-level applications and long-term maintenance; 3. Vue is easy to use, suitable for small and medium-sized projects or rapid development. In addition, whether there is an existing technology stack, team size, project life cycle and whether SSR is needed are also important factors in choosing a framework. In short, there is no absolutely the best framework, the best choice is the one that suits your needs.

Hello, JavaScript developers! Welcome to this week's JavaScript news! This week we will focus on: Oracle's trademark dispute with Deno, new JavaScript time objects are supported by browsers, Google Chrome updates, and some powerful developer tools. Let's get started! Oracle's trademark dispute with Deno Oracle's attempt to register a "JavaScript" trademark has caused controversy. Ryan Dahl, the creator of Node.js and Deno, has filed a petition to cancel the trademark, and he believes that JavaScript is an open standard and should not be used by Oracle

CacheAPI is a tool provided by the browser to cache network requests, which is often used in conjunction with ServiceWorker to improve website performance and offline experience. 1. It allows developers to manually store resources such as scripts, style sheets, pictures, etc.; 2. It can match cache responses according to requests; 3. It supports deleting specific caches or clearing the entire cache; 4. It can implement cache priority or network priority strategies through ServiceWorker listening to fetch events; 5. It is often used for offline support, speed up repeated access speed, preloading key resources and background update content; 6. When using it, you need to pay attention to cache version control, storage restrictions and the difference from HTTP caching mechanism.

Promise is the core mechanism for handling asynchronous operations in JavaScript. Understanding chain calls, error handling and combiners is the key to mastering their applications. 1. The chain call returns a new Promise through .then() to realize asynchronous process concatenation. Each .then() receives the previous result and can return a value or a Promise; 2. Error handling should use .catch() to catch exceptions to avoid silent failures, and can return the default value in catch to continue the process; 3. Combinators such as Promise.all() (successfully successful only after all success), Promise.race() (the first completion is returned) and Promise.allSettled() (waiting for all completions)

JavaScript array built-in methods such as .map(), .filter() and .reduce() can simplify data processing; 1) .map() is used to convert elements one to one to generate new arrays; 2) .filter() is used to filter elements by condition; 3) .reduce() is used to aggregate data as a single value; misuse should be avoided when used, resulting in side effects or performance problems.

JavaScript's event loop manages asynchronous operations by coordinating call stacks, WebAPIs, and task queues. 1. The call stack executes synchronous code, and when encountering asynchronous tasks, it is handed over to WebAPI for processing; 2. After the WebAPI completes the task in the background, it puts the callback into the corresponding queue (macro task or micro task); 3. The event loop checks whether the call stack is empty. If it is empty, the callback is taken out from the queue and pushed into the call stack for execution; 4. Micro tasks (such as Promise.then) take precedence over macro tasks (such as setTimeout); 5. Understanding the event loop helps to avoid blocking the main thread and optimize the code execution order.
