• 🎨 Customizable styling
• 🎮 Collision detection

Installation

npm install react-draggify

Usage

1. Wrap your app with WindowManagerProvider:

import { WindowManagerProvider } from 'react-draggify';

function App() {
  return (
    <WindowManagerProvider>
      <YourComponents />
    </WindowManagerProvider>
  );
}

2. Make components draggable using withWindow HOC:

import { withWindow } from 'react-draggify';

const YourComponent = () => (
  <div>
    <h1>Draggable Content</h1>
  </div>
);

// Make it draggable, starting at grid position 0 (top-left)
const DraggableComponent = withWindow(YourComponent);

// Use it with a specific grid position (0-19)
<DraggableComponent pos={5} />

Grid System

The layout uses a 5x4 grid (20 total positions):

 0  1  2  3  4
 5  6  7  8  9
10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19

Examples

Basic Window

const Window = () => (
  <div style={{ padding: '20px', background: 'white' }}>
    <h2>Draggable Window</h2>
    <p>Drag me around!</p>
  </div>
);

const DraggableWindow = withWindow(Window);

// Place at position 0 (top-left)
<DraggableWindow pos={0} />

Multiple Windows

function MultiWindowExample() {
  return (
    <div>
      <DraggableWindow pos={0} /> {/* Top left */}
      <DraggableWindow pos={4} /> {/* Top right */}
      <DraggableWindow pos={15} /> {/* Bottom left */}
    </div>
  );
}

Custom Styling

const StyledWindow = () => (
  <div style={{
    background: 'linear-gradient(to right, #4facfe 0%, #00f2fe 100%)',
    padding: '20px',
    borderRadius: '8px',
    color: 'white'
  }}>
    <h2>Styled Window</h2>
  </div>
);

const DraggableStyledWindow = withWindow(StyledWindow);
