cool selection.

i used react-beautiful-dnd in 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react-beautiful-dnd is no longer maintained

Mauricio Ricaldi • Oct 6 '22

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 👍❤💯

Mark Lai • Oct 5 '22 • Edited

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.

Madza • Oct 9 '22

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...

Madza • Oct 11 '22

Thanks a lot for you input 👍✨💯

Raul Luis • Oct 11 '22

It’s a shame that react-pdf-viewer requires a license, do you know about any good alternatives?
