cool selection.
i used
react-beautiful-dndin the past and probably still in some legacy code somewhere but for new projects, better go with something like github.com/clauderic/dnd-kit.react-beautiful-dnd is no longer maintained
Thank you so much for sharing that. It is a good help ;-)
👍✨
Thanks for sharing, useful input 👍💯✨
I have an another package that you would love to add in your list:
React18-input-otp
A fully customizable, one-time password (OTP) and phone number with separator input component for the web built with React. Tested on Web, Android, and iOS. This package supports all react versions.
Thanks for the addition 👍❤💯
beautiful-dnd is not being actively maintained anymore
Now the hottest lib for this is dnd-kit
Awesome share, thanks a lot 👍✨💯
Someone already mentioned react-query, tanstack-table is also amazing - especially if you arent purely working in react. Headless tables - so bring your own framework.
Awesome share 👍💯✨
Lot of gems listed here!
I thought all sliders/ carousels are kinda deprecated because of accessibility concerns. Was thinking a library like...oh say Redux would be something should at least know of as a react developer...
Thanks a lot for you input 👍✨💯
I would also add formik to this list.
Awesome addition, thanks 👍✨💯
Great list.
I would add tanstack-query (aka react-query)
Thanks for the addition 👍✨💯

image-sliderwithSwiper, but everything else made a good list.Thank you so much, Daniel! 👍💯✨
