Inspired by the Drag-Drop-Content-Type Strapi 4 plugin. Drag-drop feature completely rewritten to use dndkit because react-sortable-hoc is deprecated and not compatible with React 18.

⏳ Installation

Install with NPM.

npm i dcs-drag-drop-content-types-strapi5

Install with Yarn.

yarn add dcs-drag-drop-content-types-strapi5

🔧 Configuration

In your config

1. Add the following to your config/plugins.ts file. Create the file, if it doesn't exist.

export default () => ({
  // ...
  'drag-drop-content-types': {
    enabled: true
  }
})

2. Run npm run build and restart the app using npm run develop.

In the app

1. Go to Settings → Drag Drop Content Type → Configuration.
2. Specify the Rank Field Name used for sorting or leave the default field name rank.
3. Add a Number field with Name: myRankFieldName and Number format: integer to the sortable ContentType.
4. Configure the view of your ContentType by adding Default sort attribute → rank and Default sort order → ASC to update the view after dragging.
5. If needed: grant permissions for the rank field to your roles.

Hints

• You can set a title value that will be displayed in the menu instead of the default field.
• A second field can be displayed in the menu via the subtitle setting. It can be either a string-like field or an object such as a relation, that has a title field as configured in the settings.
• You can enable webhooks to trigger something after updating the order.

In your frontend

You can make a request in the frontend to get the ordered items. In this example the ContentType is called Foo and ordered via the rank field.
