Walkthrough

The column-ordering guide and React drag-and-drop examples now use updated DnD Kit packages. Column and row examples use DragDropProvider and useSortable. Canceled drags do not update column order or row data.

Changes: React drag-and-drop examples

Layer / File(s) Summary
Column reordering example and guide
examples/react/column-dnd/*, docs/framework/react/guide/column-ordering.md
The column example uses useSortable refs and a horizontally restricted DragDropProvider. Canceled drags do not update column order; other drag-end events pass the previous order and event to move. The guide and package manifest identify the updated DnD Kit packages.
Row reordering example
examples/react/row-dnd/*
The row example uses sortable refs and a vertically restricted DragDropProvider. Canceled, non-sortable, and unchanged operations do not update data. Other eligible drag-end events move the row within the data array.
Kitchen-sink package dependencies
examples/react/kitchen-sink-*/package.json, examples/react/kitchen-sink/package.json
The manifests replace older DnD Kit dependencies with @dnd-kit/helpers and @dnd-kit/react at ^0.5.3.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to cda95

The guide’s package description needs correction, and the kitchen-sink examples may fail clean-install type checks until their dependencies or imports are fixed. Resolve the dependency mismatch before merging.

Use the linked example’s index-based utility.

move accepts an array and a drag event, not two indexes. This call fails type checking and throws if executed. Restore arrayMove and its matching event type, or rewrite the handler to pass the React drag event directly to move.

Restore the linked example’s imports and utility

TanStack Table is not opinionated about which drag-and-drop solution you use. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Use [DnD Kit](https://dndkit.com/) if you want a library. It is what the official [Column DnD](../examples/column-dnd) and [Row DnD](../examples/row-dnd) examples use (the `@dnd-kit/core`, `@dnd-kit/sortable`, `@dnd-kit/modifiers`, and `@dnd-kit/utilities` packages). It is modular, works with React Strict Mode, and plays well with semantic `<table>` markup.

Both linked examples declare @dnd-kit/core, @dnd-kit/modifiers, @dnd-kit/sortable, and @dnd-kit/utilities, not the two packages listed here. Readers installing the listed packages to use the examples will miss their imports. Restore the actual package list or migrate the examples. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

use drag and drop. Source migration follows in separate commits.

Restore the dependencies used by the kitchen-sink examples.

src/components/data-table/data-table-sort-list.tsx still imports @dnd-kit/core and @dnd-kit/sortable. The lockfile no longer supplies the removed packages, so a clean install makes test:types fail and builds that include these components cannot resolve the imports. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

The same removal affects the hero-ui, mantine, material-ui, react-aria, shadcn-base, shadcn-radix, and standard kitchen-sink examples. For example, examples/react/kitchen-sink/src/routes/index.tsx still imports all four removed packages. Restore the legacy dependencies in each manifest until its consumers are migrated, or migrate those consumers in this change. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Use a reorder operation that accepts Person[].

prevData is Person[], but move in @dnd-kit/helpers 0.5.3 requires array items to be identifiers or objects with an id field. Person has userId instead. The example’s test:types command therefore fails at this call. Use the sortable source indices with arrayMove, or adapt the data to move’s typed contract. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
