The `useDragDropManager` hook returns the page-wide imperative API. It has four registration methods, `registerDraggable`, `registerDropTarget`, `registerAutoScroller`, and `registerMonitor`. It also provides `startKeyboardDrag` and `cancelDrag`. The React components and hooks use the same registration methods internally.

Every call controls the same manager. Calling the hook in two boards does not isolate them, and `cancelDrag()` ends whichever drag is active on the page. Use distinct kinds and target `accept` declarations to keep independent features from interacting.

Use it to register an existing element, integrate a non-React widget, or keep registrations in one parent component. The shape sorter above registers its pieces, cutouts, and monitor through one manager. It does not render `Draggable.Root`, `DropTarget.Root`, or `useDragMonitor`.

Call the hook at the top of your component:

```tsx title="Get the manager"
import { useDragDropManager } from '@base-ui/react/use-drag-drop-manager';

const manager = useDragDropManager();
```

`registerDraggable`, `registerDropTarget`, and `registerAutoScroller` take the target element and a getter for its parameters; `registerMonitor` takes only a getter, since a monitor observes every drag rather than an element. All four return a cleanup that unregisters. Register from an effect and return the cleanup:

```tsx title="Register from an effect"
React.useEffect(() => {
  return manager.registerDraggable(element, () => ({ kind: card, payload: id }));
}, [manager, id]);
```

The methods are reference-stable, so they are safe to list as effect dependencies.

## When each parameter is read

Base UI reads parameters from the getter at different times:

- **Every dispatch.** Event callbacks such as `onDragStart`, `onDrag`, and `onDrop`, and conditions such as `canDrop`, `canScroll`, and `allowedAxis`, are read from the getter each time. Base UI does not make the getter's closure reactive. Re-register from an effect when its dependencies change, or read mutable refs from the getter when the registration must stay mounted.
- **Once at pickup.** Base UI reads `kind`, `payload`, `label`, and preview settings when the drag starts. Changes during the drag apply to the next drag.
- **At registration and the next interaction.** Base UI applies gesture styles, `aria-roledescription`, `aria-describedby`, and `dragHandle` when the element registers. It reads them again on the next `pointerdown` or `focusin`. Drag behavior, including `disabled`, `keyboardActivation`, and `dragHandle`, is always checked at pickup. Re-register the element to update the idle DOM attributes immediately.

Base UI evaluates a monitor's `accept` once when it joins a drag. A monitor whose `accept` excludes a drag ignores it until it ends. A monitor registered during a drag is matched against the drag already in progress.

Base UI reads the locale and nearest `Draggable.PreviewProvider` where `useDragDropManager` is called. Put those providers above the component that calls the hook, regardless of where the registered elements render.

## Draggables

Register a drag source with `registerDraggable`. It accepts the [`Draggable.Root`](/react/components/draggable.md) options, including `kind`, `payload` or `getPayload`, `pointerActivation`, `label`, `disabled`, and the drag event callbacks. It also accepts `dragHandle` and `dragPreview`. `dragHandle` can be an element, ref, or function that restricts pickup to a handle. Unlike `Draggable.Root`, `registerDraggable` does not manage `tabIndex`. Make the element focusable to support keyboard dragging.

```tsx title="Register a drag source"
manager.registerDraggable(element, () => ({ kind: card, payload: id }));
```

### Drag preview

With no preview part to nest, an imperative source uses the same sanitized clone by default. It preserves classes and live element state but rewrites IDs to keep the document unique. Pass `dragPreview` only to configure or replace it:

```tsx title="A cloned preview for a registered source"
manager.registerDraggable(element, () => ({
  kind: card,
  payload: id,
  dragPreview: { offset: 'pointer' },
}));
```

`offset`, `modifiers`, `disabled`, and `container` work as they do on the [preview parts](/react/components/draggable.md). Instead of children, pass a `render` function for the content. It resolves once at drag start and receives the drag `source`:

```tsx title="A custom preview for a registered source"
manager.registerDraggable(element, () => ({
  kind: card,
  label,
  payload: id,
  dragPreview: {
    render: ({ source }) => <span className="CardChip">{source.label}</span>,
    offset: 'pointer',
  },
}));
```

A `render` needs a [`Draggable.PreviewProvider`](/react/drag-and-drop/overview.md) in the tree, like a `Draggable.Preview` does, and throws without one. A source that uses the default clone needs no provider.

## Drop targets

Register a drop target with `registerDropTarget`. Its parameters are the props of [`DropTarget.Root`](/react/components/drop-target.md) without the element and without `trackDragOver` (drag-over tracking is a React-layer concept): `accept`, `onDragEnter`, `onDragLeave`, `onDrop`, and the rest.

TypeScript infers the source payload from `accept`, but cannot also infer the target's own payload through the getter. Specify both type arguments, as in `registerDropTarget<typeof card, SlotData>`, when the target sets `payload` and reads it as `self.payload`.

```tsx title="Register a drop target"
manager.registerDropTarget(element, () => ({
  accept: card,
  onDrop: ({ source }) => moveCard(source.payload),
}));
```

## Auto-scroll

`registerAutoScroller` enables automatic scrolling and configures one element. If a [`DragAutoScroll.Provider`](/react/components/drag-auto-scroll.md) is already mounted, the registration only changes that element's behavior. It accepts the same parameters as `DragAutoScroll.Root`. Use `allowedAxis` to limit the axes, `canScroll` to disable scrolling for a drag, `maxSpeed` to set the speed, and `applyScroll` to implement custom scrolling. For example, a transformed canvas has no scroll offsets for Base UI to update and often already has a viewport ref.

```tsx title="A canvas that pans itself"
manager.registerAutoScroller(canvasViewport, () => ({ applyScroll: panBy }));
```

Register `document.documentElement` to customize or disable page auto-scroll.

```tsx title="A page that never scrolls itself"
manager.registerAutoScroller(document.documentElement, () => ({ canScroll: () => false }));
```

With a provider mounted, Base UI detects a container that appears after data loads or inside a third-party widget when a drag reaches it. Register the container only if you need to change its behavior.

```tsx title="A container that appears later"
React.useEffect(() => {
  const scrollElement = gridApi.getScrollElement();
  if (!scrollElement) {
    return undefined;
  }
  return manager.registerAutoScroller(scrollElement, () => ({ allowedAxis: 'vertical' }));
}, [manager, gridApi]);
```

## Monitor drags

Observe every drag with `registerMonitor`, like [`useDragMonitor`](/react/utils/use-drag-monitor.md). It takes only a getter:

```tsx title="Register a monitor"
manager.registerMonitor(() => ({
  accept: card,
  onDragStart: ({ source }) => setActiveId(source.payload),
  onDragEnd: () => setActiveId(null),
}));
```

## Starting a keyboard drag

`startKeyboardDrag` starts a drag as if the user pressed <kbd>Space</kbd>. It focuses the source or handle and returns whether the drag started. Pass the registered element or one of its descendants. The arrow keys move the drag, <kbd>Space</kbd> or <kbd>Enter</kbd> drops it, and <kbd>Escape</kbd> cancels it. Announcements and focus restoration work normally.

Use it with [`keyboardActivation="manual"`](/react/components/draggable.md) when the element needs <kbd>Space</kbd> for another action. For example, a "Reorder" menu item can start the drag after <kbd>Space</kbd> opens the menu.

```tsx title="Starting from a menu item"
<Menu.Item onClick={() => manager.startKeyboardDrag(taskRef.current)}>Reorder</Menu.Item>
```

It returns `false` if another drag is active, the draggable is disabled, keyboard activation is off, or `onBeforeDragStart` cancels. It also returns `false` for `null` or a detached element. This handles a source that unmounts before a deferred menu-close callback runs. Passing a mounted element outside a registered draggable throws an error.

## Cancelling a drag

`cancelDrag` ends the active drag and fires `onDragEnd` with `canceled: true` and the reason `'imperative-action'`. For a keyboard drag, it also restores focus and announces the cancellation. It does nothing when no drag is active. Use it when a route change, dialog, or deleted record invalidates the drag.

```tsx title="Cancelling programmatically"
const manager = useDragDropManager();

React.useEffect(() => {
  return router.subscribe(() => manager.cancelDrag());
}, [manager]);
```

## API reference

### createGlobalKind

Creates a globally interned drag kind for integrations where independently evaluated
bundles must match without sharing the same kind value.

```ts
const card = Draggable.createGlobalKind<Card>('myapp/card');
```

The key is the runtime identity, so every call with the same key matches, including
calls made by another copy of the bundle. It must be namespaced (for example,
`'myapp/card'`) because using the same key with incompatible payload types bypasses
TypeScript and causes the integrations to exchange the wrong payload at runtime.
Prefer [`createKind`](/react/utils/use-drag-drop-manager.md) when the kind value can be shared directly.

**Parameters:**

| Parameter | Type     | Default | Description                                     |
| :-------- | :------- | :------ | :---------------------------------------------- |
| key       | `string` | -       | A namespaced global key such as `'myapp/card'`. |

**Return Value:**

```tsx
type ReturnValue = DragKind<TPayload>;
```

### createKind

Creates a drag kind to pass to a draggable's `kind` and a drop target's
`accept`.

```ts
const card = Draggable.createKind<Card>('card');
```

Each call creates a unique identity. Declare the kind once and share it with every
draggable and drop target in the interaction. The name is only a debugging aid.
Separate calls with the same name do not match.

Use [`createGlobalKind`](/react/utils/use-drag-drop-manager.md) only when independently evaluated bundles deliberately
need to share a kind by a namespaced key.

**Parameters:**

| Parameter | Type     | Default | Description |
| :-------- | :------- | :------ | :---------- |
| name      | `string` | -       | -           |

**Return Value:**

```tsx
type ReturnValue = DragKind<TPayload>;
```

### DragCleanupFn

**Return Value:**

```tsx
type ReturnValue = void;
```

### useDragDropManager

Returns the page-wide drag-and-drop manager. It includes the registration methods that
`Draggable.Root`, `DropTarget.Root`, `DragAutoScroll.Root`, and `useDragMonitor`
are built on, plus `startKeyboardDrag` to open a keyboard drag from your own
trigger and `cancelDrag` to end the drag in progress.

Use it to register an existing element, integrate a non-React widget, or keep
registrations in one place.

Every call controls the same page-wide manager. Base UI reads the locale and
nearest `Draggable.PreviewProvider` at the hook's call site. Put both providers
above the component that calls `useDragDropManager`, even when the registered
elements render elsewhere.

**useDragDropManager Return Value:**

```tsx
type ReturnValue = UseDragDropManagerReturnValue;
```

### useDragDropManager.ReturnValue

```typescript
type useDragDropManagerReturnValue = {
  /**
   * Registers a drag source and returns a cleanup that unregisters it.
   *
   * Base UI reads behavior from the getter on every event. It applies gesture
   * styles, `aria-roledescription`, and `aria-describedby` when the element
   * registers, then reads them again on the next pointer press or focus event.
   * Re-register the element to update these idle DOM attributes immediately.

## Additional Types

### AcceptedDragPayload

The payload type declared by `accept`. An array produces a union, and an omitted
`accept` produces `unknown`.

```typescript
type AcceptedDragPayload = TPayload | unknown;
```

### AnyDragAccept

A drag kind or array of kinds accepted by generic registration APIs.

```typescript
type AnyDragAccept = DragKind | DragKind[];
```

### anyKind

A catch-all kind for a drop target that accepts every drag on the page.

```tsx
<DropTarget.Root accept={DropTarget.anyKind} onDrop={commit} />
```

The accepted source's payload is `unknown` until narrowed with a specific kind.

```typescript
type anyKind = {
  /**
   * The name or global key used to create this kind. This is not an accessible
   * name. Use `label` on a draggable or drop target instead.
   */
  name: string;
  /**
   * The kind's runtime identity. `createKind` creates a fresh symbol for each call;
   * `createGlobalKind` interns it on the namespaced key.
   */
  id: symbol;
  /** Whether this drag source is of this kind, narrowing its `payload` to `TPayload`. */
  matches: matches;
};
```

### DragDropManager

The page-wide drag-and-drop manager returned by `useDragDropManager`.

Each `register*` method takes a parameter getter and returns a cleanup that
unregisters. Callbacks and dynamic options are read when used; source identity,
preview settings, monitor eligibility, and idle DOM attributes have the timing
documented by their registration methods.

```typescript
type DragDropManager = {
  /**
   * Registers a drag source and returns a cleanup that unregisters it.
   *
   * Base UI reads behavior from the getter on every event. It applies gesture
   * styles, `aria-roledescription`, and `aria-describedby` when the element
   * registers, then reads them again on the next pointer press or focus event.
   * Re-register the element to update these idle DOM attributes immediately.

### DragKind

A kind of draggable item or drop target, created with `Draggable.createKind` or
`Draggable.createGlobalKind`.

`TPayload` is the data things of this kind carry, so declaring it once on the kind
types `source.payload` and `self.payload` everywhere the kind is used.

```typescript
type DragKind<TPayload = unknown> = {
  /**
   * The name or global key used to create this kind. This is not an accessible
   * name. Use `label` on a draggable or drop target instead.
   */
  name: string;
  /**
   * The kind's runtime identity. `createKind` creates a fresh symbol for each call;
   * `createGlobalKind` interns it on the namespaced key.
   */
  id: symbol;
  /** Whether this drag source is of this kind, narrowing its `payload` to `TPayload`. */
  matches: matches;
};
```

### RegisterAutoScrollerParameters

Parameters accepted by `DragAutoScroll.Root` and `registerAutoScroller`.
Scroll containers, including the page, scroll automatically during a drag.
Use these parameters to disable scrolling, limit the axes, change the speed,
or implement custom scrolling with `applyScroll`.

```typescript
type RegisterAutoScrollerParameters<TSourceData = unknown> = {
  /**
   * One or more drag source kinds that can scroll this element. Omit it to scroll
   * for every drag.
   *
   * An unaccepted drag does not scroll this element, even when it is a detected
   * scroll container. The accepted kinds determine the payload type passed to
   * per-frame callbacks.
   */
  accept?: DragAccept<TSourceData>;
  /**
   * Whether to disable auto-scroll for this element, including when Base UI detects
   * it as a scroll container. An ancestor can scroll on the excluded axes.
   *
   * Base UI reads this value every frame and keeps the registration active. Changing
   * it during a drag pauses or resumes scrolling without re-registering the element.
   *
   * For a decision that depends on the drag, use `canScroll` instead.
   * @default false
   */
  disabled?: boolean;
  /**
   * Return `false` to disable scrolling on this element for the current drag.
   * Evaluated every frame, so scrolling can be suspended dynamically.

  canScroll?: (parameters: DragAutoScrollFrameContext<TSourceData>) => boolean;
  /**
   * Which axis to scroll on. Accepts a static value or a callback evaluated every frame.

   *

### WithInferredAccept

Preserves the accepted kinds while inferring callback payload types.

```typescript
type WithInferredAccept<TParameters, TAccept extends AnyDragAccept> = TParameters & {
  accept?: DragKind | DragKind[];
};
```

### WithOptionalPayload

Allows at most one of a parameter type's `payload` and `getPayload` fields.

```typescript
type WithOptionalPayload<TParameters extends { payload?: unknown; getPayload?: unknown }> =
  { payload?: unknown; getPayload?: undefined } | { payload?: undefined; getPayload?: unknown };
```

### WithRequiredAccept

Preserves the accepted kinds while requiring `accept`.

```typescript
type WithRequiredAccept<TParameters, TAccept extends AnyDragAccept> = TParameters & {
  accept: TAccept;
};
```

### WithRequiredPayload

Requires exactly one of a parameter type's `payload` and `getPayload` fields.

```typescript
type WithRequiredPayload<
  TParameters extends { payload?: unknown; getPayload?: unknown },
  TPayload = unknown,
  TPayloadGetter = unknown,
> =
  | { payload: TPayload; getPayload?: undefined }
  | { payload?: undefined; getPayload: TPayloadGetter };
