Have you ever stuck yourself to decide what color to wear? You may be mixing and mixing different tips and bottles, you are not sure if the colors come together. It’s a common dilemma – so common that many of us approach friends or family for another opinion before taking steps for a meeting or hangout.
But what will happen if you are alone and need to make this choice quickly? Imagine an app where you can drag different colors of clothing on your screen and immediately imagine it to be your clothing. If it looks good, all you need is validated.
In this tutorial, we will create a dynamic wardrobe app using the reaction. You will learn to handle components, handle the Drag and Drop conversation, and develop the user’s smooth experience. Let’s enter it straight!
Here’s what we will cover is:
Provisions
Before starting coding, make sure you have:
Steps to create dynamic wardrobe using reaction
We are going through step -by -step methods of construction of this project, so it is easy to follow it. Finally, you will know exactly how drag and drop functionality works in response.
Step 1: The establishment of your project
First and most importantly, you need to set up a react and tail wind CSS using the White in a project. If you do not know that to do so, look at this article and follow the steps. When you work, come back here, and let’s continue construction.
If you already have a reaction project with Tel Wind CSS that you want to use, this is also great.
Step 2: The establishment of the states
We will start our states and start. If you have no idea what states you can read my article in the states. In this simple project, we will only have two states: one for the selected top color (selectedTop) And the second selected down color (selectedBottom) We will configure the initial value of both states White (With #FFFF’s Hex code), as shown below:
const (selectedTop, setSelectedTop) = useState("#ffffff");
const (selectedBottom, setSelectedBottom) = useState("#ffffff");
Step 3: Explain the color options
Next, we describe a row of color options for organizations:
const colorOptions = (
"#ff0000",
"#0000ff",
"#ffff00",
"#00ff00",
"#ff00ff",
"#808080",
"#000000",
"#ffffff",
);
colorOptions Provides a dynamic palette of array colors that consumers can pull on clothing items.
Step 4: implementing drag and drop functionality
Now, create a drag and drop functionality, which is the main aspect of the project. We will need event handlers functions to handle specific events when they are mobilized through a specific interaction or browser events – in this case, dragging and falling.
Here are the event’s handlers that we need to impose drag and drop functionality:
handleDragStart
This function is triggered when the user begins to drag the color block from the color palette (usually dynamic through it onDragStart In JSX).
const handleDragStart = (e, color) => {
e.dataTransfer.setData("color", color);
};
Break it:
const handleDragStart = (e, color) => { ... }: This function accepts two parameters Event Object (E) And ColorA customs value representing the color associated with the colorless block is dragged.e.dataTransfer.setData("color", color):dataTransferThe drag event is a property in which the data is dragged..setData("color", color)Stores color price under the key “color”.
handleDropOnTop
This function is triggered when the colorless block is “dropped on”Up“The section of your clothing interface.
const handleDropOnTop = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const color = e.dataTransfer.getData("color");
setSelectedTop(color);
};
Break it:
const handleDropOnTop = (e) => { … }: This function takes the same argument EWhich is an event representing drop action.e.preventDefault(): By default, the browser will not allow an item to be dropped unless you clearly stop the default behavior. This ensures that the drop can accept the target.const color = e.daaTransfer.getData(“color”): Drag retrieved the first default data during operationsetData(“color”, color)IhandleDragStart.setSelectedTop(color):colorData will be used to updateselectedTopDescribe the color of the current selected high dress. This will usually cause the UI to be reproduced, which will show the dropped color on the “top” part of the cloth.
handleDropOnBottom
This function is triggered when the colorless block is “dropped on”Beneath“The section of your clothing interface.
const handleDropOnBottom = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const color = e.dataTransfer.getData("color");
setSelectedBottom(color);
};
Break it:
const handleDropOnBottom = (e) => { ... }: This function takes the same argument EWhich is an event representing drop action.e.preventDefault(): By default, the browser will not allow an item to be dropped unless you clearly stop the default behavior. This ensures that the drop can accept the target.const color = e.dataTransfer.getData("color"): Drag retrieved the first default data during operationsetData("color", color)IhandleDragStart.setSelectedBottom(color):colorData will be used to updateselectedBottomDescribe the color of the current selected high dress. This will usually cause the UI to be reproduced, which will show the colored color on the “bottom” section of the cloth.
allowDrop
This event enables a drop target by preventing the handler function of the browser by preventing the default behavior of the browser, which otherwise does not allow falling elements.
const allowDrop = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
};
Step 5: Construction of the user interface
After finishing the practical part of our closet project, we want to make a visual part that users can see and interact with it.
The UI will consist of two parts: one color palette on the left and a preview of an organization on the right. The colorful palette section will include 30 colorless blocks, while the outfit section of the organization will include a top and bottom, which can be used to drag the selected colors to see how they look together.
This is a visual representation of UI we are building:
Make the color palette section
To display all the colors provided in our colorOptions Arrival, we need to make a map through array containing first color values and
Each
Acts as a draggable color block with fixed width and height.
Has a semi-circular appearance using Tailwind CSS classes and inline styling to apply the specific background color.
Triggers the
handleDragStartWhen dragging begins, moving the function, event and selected color.There is a unique key for reaction offerings.
If the color is white (
#ffffff), It conditionally shows the text "White"In light gray for the merit.
This setup allows users to identify different colors options visually and drag the UI to the top or bottom of an organization.

To create an organization's preview
Finally, let's implement the organization preview section, which is a fun part. There are two parts of the organization's display: the top and the bottom. Let's see one after one:
Top section
This section acts as a Drop the target for the top color of the clothing. It contains a DIV that has a SVG that allows to be colored.
"w-full flex items-center justify-center"
onDrop={handleDropOnTop}
onDragOver={allowDrop}
>
{}
;
In this section:
onDrop={handleDropOnTop}: The color of the above wear fixes, when the color is dropped on the top Div.allowDropIs called byonDragOverEnabled to fall.T -shirt SVG is developed and its filling color is controlled
selectedTopWhen a new color is dropped, which refreshes.
Down part of the bottom .He
This section acts as a Drop the target for the color of the bottom clothing. It contains a DIV that has a SVG that allows to be colored.
"w-full flex items-center justify-center -mt-8"
onDrop={handleDropOnBottom}
onDragOver={allowDrop}
>
<svg viewBox="0 0 200 200" width="120" height="140">
{/* Pants */}
<path
d="M60,20 L140,20 L150,180 L110,180 L100,100 L90,180 L50,180 L60,20 Z"
fill={selectedBottom}
stroke="#333"
strokeWidth="2"
/>
{/* Waistband */}
<rect x="60" y="18" width="80" height="5" fill="#444" />
{/* Center seam */}
<path d="M100,20 L100,100" stroke="#000" strokeWidth="1" />
svg>
;
In this section:
onDrop={handleDropOnBottom}: The bottom wear sets the color, when the color is dropped in the bottom.allowDropIs called byonDragOverEnabled to fall.Paint SVG is developed and its filling color is controlled
selectedBottomWhen a new color is dropped, which refreshes.Additional details such as waist bands (racket) and sutures include realism.
Which completes the UI section of our project.
Step 6: Keep it all together
Now that you have learned about the essential aspects, here is a complete code that will give you full shape and functionality.
import { useState } from "react";
export default function App() {
const (selectedTop, setSelectedTop) = useState("#ffffff");
const (selectedBottom, setSelectedBottom) = useState("#ffffff");
const colorOptions = (

const handleDragStart = (e, color) => {
e.dataTransfer.setData("color", color);
};
const handleDropOnTop = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const color = e.dataTransfer.getData("color");
setSelectedTop(color);
};
const handleDropOnBottom = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const color = e.dataTransfer.getData("color");
setSelectedBottom(color);
};
const allowDrop = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
};

Here's our dynamic wardrobe in full flow:
Conclusion
This dynamic wardrobe project shows the strength of the react and the drop API in conjunction with the state administration. Not only is it a fun plan, but it also taught you important concepts such as managing the state in react components, implementing drag and drop functionality, creating a holding sequence with Tel Wind CSS and using SVG for interactive visuals.
