This was generated by AI during triage.

Adds .out-of-scope/, one file per rejected feature concept. Triage close comments link here, so the next request for the same thing gets the same answer without re-arguing it.

File What it rejects Issues
auto-scroll.md Scrolling a container or the window near the drag edge 5
drag-and-drop.md Drop targets, sortable lists, drag-to-copy, collision, multi-drag 12
framework-ports.md Vue and other non-React builds 1
function-as-child.md Render-prop child API 1
click-to-move.md Click to pick up, click to drop 1
drag-outside-window.md Dragging past the browser window 1

Each file says why the library won't do it and shows the userland route (onDrag, controlled position, DraggableCore, or a DnD library). Docs only, no code change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified the library’s supported behavior and limitations, including auto-scrolling, click-to-move, drag-and-drop features, cross-window dragging, framework support, and function children.
    • Added implementation guidance and suggested alternatives for these scenarios.

Add .out-of-scope/ with one file per rejected concept (auto-scroll, drag-and-drop features, framework ports, function-as-child, click-to-move, dragging outside the window). Each file says why the library won't do it, shows the userland route, and lists the issues that asked. Triage close comments link here, so a new request for the same thing gets the same answer.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds six documents that describe behaviors and APIs that react-draggable does not provide. The documents also present implementation approaches, alternatives, and links to related requests.

Changes

Documented scope boundaries

Layer / File(s) Summary
Drag behavior boundaries
.out-of-scope/auto-scroll.md, .out-of-scope/click-to-move.md, .out-of-scope/drag-outside-window.md
The documents describe limits on auto-scroll, click-to-pick-up interactions, and dragging outside the browser window. They include application-level approaches or alternatives.
Drag-and-drop boundaries
.out-of-scope/drag-and-drop.md
The document describes unsupported drag-and-drop features and maps use cases to application-level approaches or alternative libraries. It also links to related requests.
API and platform boundaries
.out-of-scope/function-as-child.md, .out-of-scope/framework-ports.md
The documents describe the supported child API and React-only support. They suggest alternatives and link to related requests.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to aeef2

This change documents supported boundaries without changing runtime behavior, and the supplied implementation context supports its core API descriptions. No concrete user-facing regression is indicated.

Architecture Summary

Architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to aeef2

The changed surface does not map to a changed system, dependency edge, entrypoint, or external dependency.

Changed systems: None identified.

Architecture concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Review details

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in .out-of-scope/click-to-move.md: Adds documentation distinguishing press-and-hold dragging from sticky click-to-pick-up interactions, explaining why the latter is out of scope, suggesting a pointer-move listener with controlled position, and linking prior request #499.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .out-of-scope/drag-and-drop.md: Added an overview defining react-draggable as a single-element drag primitive and identifying features it does not provide, with an explanation that their multi-element state belongs to the app or a specialized drag-and-drop library.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .out-of-scope/drag-and-drop.md: Added a table mapping unsupported drag-and-drop use cases to suggested app-level approaches or alternative libraries.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .out-of-scope/drag-and-drop.md: Added links to prior requests covering connected or multiple elements, drop targets, copying, sortable lists, and overlap behavior.

Inline comments:
In @.out-of-scope/auto-scroll.md:
- Line 21: Complete the JSX example containing the Draggable component by adding
a child element and its closing tag after the opening tag, so the example parses
as valid JSX.

In @.out-of-scope/drag-outside-window.md:
- Line 7: Update the documentation sentence to clarify that default
transform-based dragging can position an element outside the document viewport,
and that the `bounds` prop can restrict movement when configured; retain the
distinction that transferring content between windows or to the desktop is
unsupported.

Comment thread .out-of-scope/auto-scroll.md
Comment thread .out-of-scope/drag-outside-window.md Outdated
auto-scroll.md: the JSX example stopped after the opening tag, so it did not parse. Add the child and the closing tag.

drag-outside-window.md: it said an element can only render inside the viewport. A draggable can move past the viewport edge unless bounds stops it. What it can't do is leave its window.

Swept all six files: auto-scroll.md has the only code example, and only drag-outside-window.md makes a viewport claim.

It said callbacks run through React state. They don't: DraggableCore calls onStart/onDrag from its native event handlers, and Draggable calls user callbacks before its own setState. The React tie is the cloned child and the position kept in component state.

Swept .out-of-scope/ for other 'React state' claims: 1 site, this one.
