Ng Drag Drop

Overview

Angular Drag & Drop is a versatile component designed to enhance the Angular experience by enabling native HTML5 drag-and-drop functionality without external dependencies. Initially created to fill a gap in the available libraries, this component allowed developers to implement custom drag-and-drop behaviors with ease. However, with the recent advancements in Angular 7 and the introduction of the Angular CDK’s drag-and-drop component, users are encouraged to transition to this improved solution to take advantage of the latest features and better support.

For those looking to build custom drag-and-drop interfaces, this component offers crucial functionalities that streamline development. It provides detailed options for controlling the drag-and-drop experience, making it suitable for a variety of applications, particularly for developers who prefer a hands-on approach.
