I am trying to make a card that is draggable, which is layered on top of a grid, and when moved, I want it to snap to the different sections of the Grid. I am able to create the grid with the columns and rows and also a draggable item, but I am not sure as to whether the snap to grid is possible with Material UI. Is there a way to do this by using Material UI and ReactJS?
If not possible with Material UI, is there another dependency I can use to achieve this?
I have used many drag and drop libraries but love this one most. You can give it a try.
There is a story book demo at https://bokuweb.github.io/react-rnd/stories/?path=/story/grid--both. I think that perfectly resolve your problem.
react-dnd is compatible with Material UI and lets you create a drag layer and snap to a grid.
See react-dnd's basic demo here
And here is how you can extend it to things like: snapping, grid constraints, render arbitrary child components, reordering children

I am trying to create a Basic Layout with React using Material UI Grid component.
I am following official documentation but the spacing prop seems very confusing and there is very less information available or its unclear in documentation.
When i am trying to nest Grid to create the layout, the negative margins added by the spacing prop confusingly pulling the items and breaking the UI.
Below is the very simple Layout in trying to do
I finally managed to do it with some very complex nestings and custom styles using sx prop as shown below in the codesandbox.
https://codesandbox.io/s/materialgriddilemma-vheq19?file=/src/Layout.js
But I am wondering, for a simple use case as this do I really need to write custom styles?!!
What is the cleanest and recommended way to use Nested Grids in Material UI with Spacing ?
I am trying to copy the parts inside black circles on the image below for training React and Material UI. My problem is that I am struggling a bit with which Material UI components to use... Any help or examples that looks like this are happily accepted!
There are some components from material-ui for composing the UI like what you asked for. You need to compose these components by yourself.
For components inside the long black circle, they can be from selects https://mui.com/components/selects/. You can find different styles from this link.
For components inside another circle. They are buttons, text_fields, chips, and cards. Which can be found from
https://mui.com/components/buttons/ https://mui.com/components/text-fields/ https://mui.com/components/chips/ https://mui.com/components/cards/

I created a draggable drag and drop table with draggable rows.
For the need of my project, i added multiple drop targets with multiple Droppable elements like in this example:
https://codesandbox.io/s/ql08j35j3q
It work pretty fine, but there is one problem, the scroll speed.
When i'm trying to drop an item in an element at the bottom of the page, it gets very slow.
This GIF will show the problem.
Do you have any clue for a solution ?
This may be a result of react-beautiful-dnd autoscroll, interfering with a css property called scroll-behavior. I just spent a day de-bugging this myself.
If you are using bootstrap, by default, bootstrap sets {scroll-behavior: smooth} to the entire html tag. To apply react-beautiful-dnd's fast auto-scroll, this css property should be {scroll-behavior: unset !important}
If you are not using bootstrap, or another library, check your css stylesheets, and see if {scroll-behavior: smooth} is set anywhere in any parent containers to your Droppables, and unset them.
A good way to debug this is by also opening Inspect Element in your browser, and looking at the styles applied to the html, body, or parent containers to your Droppables.
It appears that when scroll-behavior is defined in css or javascript( if you use window.scrollBy()), it may interfere with react-beautiful-dnd's fast auto-scroll feature, and make it slow.
Let me know if this works for you :) !
Here is my example in a gif - All the containers in the column are droppables
I have a working vertical column drag and drop React app using react-beautiful-dnd, but would like to 'invert' it so that Draggable items fall to the bottom of the Droppable div instead of floating to the top. Is this possible?
If I'm understanding you correctly, you'd like to have a list where when the container is not full, the items within that list are aligned to the bottom of the container?
If so, then yes - I would utilize flexbox.
Here is a good resource for flex - https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
There are multiple different ways to implement this with flex. Pick your poison.

Based on the code sandbox:
I would add a wrapper div to the bay component with the same height as what you have now. On the child div, add a dynamic height field that is dependent on how many tables the bay contains.
Users won't be able to drop into the entire column but you could style it to show the user where they need to drop when the column is empty.
I ended up just creating another invisible strip with flexGrow = 1 to push everything to the bottom.
I have a list of material ui cards that are in a react-beautiful-dnd list. I want to be able to move cards from one list to another and reorganize them (this is already done). I also want to be able to click, for example, the lower right corner of a card and resize it however I want. Is that possible? If so, how? I have tried wrapping the cards in thing like react-grid-layout objects, but with no success, while my react app still comes up the cards are not rendered.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I found a simple solution and thought I would share. All I needed to do was wrap each material UI Card in a ResizableBox from react-resizable. Then after that, so the dimensions of the Card would follow the dimensions of the ResizableBox, I used material UI makeStyles to apply a width and height of 100% to the Card. And that was it.
