Draggable is a JavaScript library from Shopify that provides developers with tools to build custom drag and drop experiences.

Draggable is a lightweight, responsive, modern drag and drop JavaScript library – the ideal choice for adding slick native-feeling drag and drop behaviour to your web apps.
Draggable is a modular drag & drop library, allowing you to start small and build up with the features you need. At its most basic, Draggable gives you drag & drop functionality, fast DOM reordering, accessible markup, and a bundle of events to grab on to. The classic switcheroo. Drag one element over another and watch them trade places in the DOM. The ideal functionality for when layout dimensions need to be retained. Sort DOM nodes with style. Drag items in a collection from one spot to another and watch everything snap into place. Fast and responsive sorting that won’t leave your performance wallet strapped for frames.

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
