help react-beautiful-dnd FAQ
Who created react-beautiful-dnd?
react-beautiful-dnd was created by Atlassian, with Alex Reardon as its lead maintainer and public face. It became one of the most popular drag-and-drop libraries in the React ecosystem during the late 2010s.
Is react-beautiful-dnd still maintained?
Atlassian officially deprecated react-beautiful-dnd and recommended migrating to alternatives, with development effectively winding down in the early 2020s. The library has known compatibility issues with React 18's StrictMode that are not being fixed.
What is the recommended replacement for react-beautiful-dnd?
The most commonly recommended replacement is dnd-kit, a modern, modular, and React 18-friendly alternative. Other options include react-dnd for more low-level control and native HTML5 drag-and-drop APIs.
Does react-beautiful-dnd support virtual lists and tables?
react-beautiful-dnd supports vertical lists, horizontal lists, and grids out of the box, but virtualization requires extra workarounds and is not natively supported. This was one of the limitations that drove teams to migrate to dnd-kit.
