How can I implement drag and drop in React Native using gesture handler?

You can use the react-native-gesture-handler library to implement drag and drop. First, install the library using npm or yarn.

What are the basic steps to set it up?

1. Install the library. 2. Import necessary components like PanGestureHandler. 3. Create a draggable component and handle its state.

Can you provide a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import React from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';
import { PanGestureHandler } from 'react-native-gesture-handler';

const Draggable = () => {
  const onDragEvent = (event) => {
    // Handle drag event
  };

  return (
    <PanGestureHandler onGestureEvent={onDragEvent}>
      <View style={{ width: 100, height: 100, backgroundColor: 'blue' }}>
        <Text>Drag me!</Text>
      </View>
    </PanGestureHandler>
  );
};

This creates a draggable blue box.

What if I want to drop it in a specific area?

You can track the drop area using state and check the position of the draggable component during the drag event to see if it overlaps with the drop area.
