Building a Custom Drag-and-Drop Form Builder with Lightning Web Components (LWC)

Drag-and-drop interfaces have become a cornerstone of modern user experience. When combined with the capabilities of Lightning Web Components (LWC), they enable the creation of rich, interactive Salesforce applications.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of building a custom drag-and-drop form builder using LWC. Users will be able to drag form elements—such as text inputs, dropdowns, and more—onto a canvas, with the interface dynamically rendering each component in real time.

This hands-on tutorial showcases:
Component reusability

Efficient event handling

Conditional rendering techniques

We’ll also break down the architectural approach, share key implementation strategies, and offer clean, scalable coding patterns you can apply in your own LWC projects.
