Usage

import Nestable from 'react-nestable';

// this usually goes once
// to the entry point of the whole app
// (e.g. src/index.js)
import 'react-nestable/dist/styles/index.css';

every item must have a unique id in order to distinguish elements

const items = [
  { id: 0, text: 'Andy' },
  {
    id: 1, text: 'Harry',
    children: [
      { id: 2, text: 'David' }
    ]
  },
  { id: 3, text: 'Lisa' }
];

const renderItem = ({ item }) => item.text;

const Example = () => (
  <Nestable
    items={items}
    renderItem={renderItem}
  />
)
