Hello readers, Today in this blog you’ll learn how to create Drag & Drop List using HTML CSS & JavaScript. Earlier I have shared a blog on how to create Responsive Counter up Animation on Scroll using HTML CSS & jQuery and now it’s time to create a Draggable List in JavaScript using SortableJS.
Drag and drop is a marking device gesture in which the user selects a virtual thing by “grabbing” it and dragging it to a separate area or onto another virtual thing. Sortable JS is a Javascript library that lets you sort or reorder lists by dragging and dropping list items.
In this program [Drag & Drop List or Draggable List], there are five lists or cards on the webpage and these are draggable items or lists. Users can easily reorder the items in an underorder list, giving users a visual dimension to particular actions and modifications. If you’re feeling difficult to understand what I am saying. You can watch a full video tutorial on this program [Drag & Drop List or Draggable List].
Video Tutorial of Drag & Drop List or Draggable List
In the video, you have seen the drag & drop list or draggable list and how we can easily reorder items in an unordered list. I hope you have understood the codes behind creating this program. As you know, to make an item draggable I used the JavaScript SortableJS library, so there are no vast codes for JavaScript.
