React-beautiful-dnd: Please add a written getting started guide

Created on 9 Mar 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: atlassian/react-beautiful-dnd

Dear all,
I love the look of this library. However, your written documentation is sorely lacking code samples. I see you have a Netlify demo app, and some getting started videos, but there is no obvious way to view the code for the demos, and videos are just not a helpful way to learn for many people. Please can you add a written 'getting started' guide, or some basic tutorials?

As an example from the competition, please check out the excellent tutorial from react-dnd.

Yep the lessons are not the best for this kind of component, I just want a quick started guide without having to go through dozens of videos.

Try https://egghead.io/lessons/react-reorder-a-list-with-react-beautiful-dnd
Please note that if first dragging example is not working (I am using latest react) -
replace innerRef = {..} with ref={...}
Enjoy

Thanks @Mulli, but that is not a written guide, so not really relevant to the point I'm trying to make here.

In addition, Egghead does not let you access the code in the samples unless you are a premium member.

100% agree - I can't really get to grips with this library without a written Getting Started. A video tutorial is a great complement to written documentation, but having it be instead of written documentation is very frustrating.
