How do I restrict dragging to a specific part of a component?

You can use the Draggable.Handle or SortableItem.Handle sub-components to wrap only the specific area (like an icon or header) you want to initiate the drag.

Can I use this for both vertical and horizontal lists?

Yes, the Sortable component supports a direction prop that can be set to either 'vertical' or 'horizontal' with support for custom gaps and widths.

What are the peer dependency requirements for this skill?

The library requires react-native-reanimated >= 4.2.0, react-native-gesture-handler >= 2.28.0, and react-native-worklets >= 0.7.0.

Does it support 2D grid reordering?

Yes, it includes a SortableGrid component that supports both 'swap' and 'insert' reordering strategies in multi-column layouts.

How is performance maintained during heavy animations?

The library uses Reanimated worklets to perform all position calculations and animations on the UI thread, preventing frame drops even when the JS thread is busy.

Implements high-performance drag-and-drop, sortable lists, and interactive grids in React Native applications using Reanimated 4.

This skill provides specialized guidance for integrating the react-native-reanimated-dnd library into React Native projects to achieve fluid, 60fps drag-and-drop interfaces. It streamlines the implementation of complex UI patterns including vertical and horizontal sortable lists, 2D reorderable grids, and sophisticated drop zone logic. By leveraging Reanimated 4 worklets, it ensures all animations run on the UI thread for maximum performance, while offering deep support for features like dynamic item heights, axis constraints, and customizable collision detection algorithms.
