Basic Example

<div class="max-w-7xl mx-auto sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
    <div x-data class="bg-white flex dark:text-white p-6 dark:bg-gray-800 overflow-hidden shadow-sm sm:rounded-lg">
        <div class="w-full">
            <!-- Drag List -->
            <ul
                x-drag:list.preventSelf
                x-bind:class="$list.isDragging ? 'bg-red-500' : 'bg-blue-500'"
                >
                <li x-drag:list-item>Drag Item 1</li>
                <li x-drag:list-item>Drag Item 2</li>
                <li x-drag:list-item>Drag Item 3</li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div class="w-full">
            <ul
                class="list list-disc list-inside"
                x-drop:target
                x-bind:class="$droparea.isEntered ? 'bg-green-500' : 'bg-blue-500'">
                Drop List
                <li>
                    one
                </li>
                <li>
                    two
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Add the x-drag:list directive to the list you want to drag from and the x-drop:target directive to the list you want to drop into.

Each List Item will have a unique ID generated for it. If you want to update the unique ID of the item being dragged, you can add the value to x-drag:list-item directive.

<!-- Drag List -->
<ul
    x-drag:list.preventSelf
    x-bind:class="$list.isDragging ? 'bg-red-500' : 'bg-blue-500'"
    >
    <li x-drag:list-item="1">Drag Item 1</li>
    <li x-drag:list-item="2">Drag Item 2</li>
    <li x-drag:list-item="3">Drag Item 3</li>
</ul>

You can override the default behavior of the drop method by adding a custom method to the x-drop:target directive.

<div class="max-w-7xl mx-auto sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
    <div x-data="{
        handle(item, target, data) {
            // item: The item being dragged
            // target: The target list
            // data: The data of the item being dragged
        }
    }" class="bg-white flex dark:text-white p-6 dark:bg-gray-800 overflow-hidden shadow-sm sm:rounded-lg">
        <div class="w-full">
            <!-- Drag List -->
            <ul
                x-drag:list.preventSelf
                x-bind:class="$list.isDragging ? 'bg-red-500' : 'bg-blue-500'"
                >
                <li x-drag:list-item>Drag Item 1</li>
                <li x-drag:list-item>Drag Item 2</li>
                <li x-drag:list-item>Drag Item 3</li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div class="w-full">
            <ul
                class="list list-disc list-inside"
                x-drop:target="handle"
                x-bind:class="$droparea.isEntered ? 'bg-green-500' : 'bg-blue-500'">
                Drop List
                <li>
                    one
                </li>
                <li>
                    two
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
