# useDragMonitor

A React hook that observes every drag on the page.

## Demo

### Tailwind

This example shows how to implement the component using Tailwind CSS.

```tsx
/* index.tsx */
'use client';
import * as React from 'react';
import { Draggable } from '@base-ui/react/draggable';
import { DropTarget } from '@base-ui/react/drop-target';
import { useDragMonitor } from '@base-ui/react/use-drag-monitor';

type ShapeId = 'circle' | 'square' | 'triangle';

const circleKind = Draggable.createKind<ShapeId>('use-drag-monitor/shape-circle');
const squareKind = Draggable.createKind<ShapeId>('use-drag-monitor/shape-square');
const triangleKind = Draggable.createKind<ShapeId>('use-drag-monitor/shape-triangle');

const SHAPES = [
  { id: 'circle', label: 'Circle', kind: circleKind },
  { id: 'square', label: 'Square', kind: squareKind },

`useDragMonitor` runs callbacks for every drag on the page. A monitor has no element and renders nothing. It only observes, so no provider is required.

Use it for a status bar, analytics, shared drag state, or committing an update from one place instead of each target's `onDrop`. In the shape sorter above, the cutouts only declare what they accept. A monitor updates the live status and places each shape after a successful drop.

A monitor registers once for the component's lifetime. Re-renders do not register it again, and Base UI reads the latest callbacks for every event. A monitor mounted during a drag observes the rest of that drag.

## Filter by kind

`accept` declares which [kinds](/react/components/draggable.md) a monitor observes. Pass one kind or an array. Base UI evaluates it when the monitor joins a drag, either at drag start or when a monitor mounts during a drag. If `accept` excludes that drag, the monitor ignores the rest of it.

```tsx title="Observe only cards"
const card = Draggable.createKind<CardPayload>('card');

useDragMonitor({ accept: card, onDragStart: ({ source }) => announce(source.label) });
```

The accepted kinds determine the type of `source.payload`. An array produces a union that each kind's `matches` method can narrow. Omit `accept` to observe every drag with an `unknown` payload. Return early from callbacks to apply more specific filters.

## Drag events

A monitor's event handlers are optional. Each receives the drag `source`, `location` history, and `mode`, which is either `'pointer'` or `'keyboard'`:

```tsx title="Reacting to every stage of a drag"
import { useDragMonitor } from '@base-ui/react/use-drag-monitor';

function DragActivity() {
  useDragMonitor({
    accept: card,
    // Fires once when a matching drag begins, wherever it started.
    onDragStart: ({ source }) => {
      console.log('picked up', source.label);
    },
    // Fires as the pointer moves, throttled to one call per animation frame.
    // Read `location.current.input` for the pointer position.
    onDrag: ({ location }) => {
      const { clientX, clientY } = location.current.input;
      console.log('moved to', clientX, clientY);
    },
    // Fires when the drop target under the drag changes. The innermost target
    // is `location.current.dropTargets[0]`.
    onDropTargetChange: ({ location }) => {
      console.log('now over', location.current.dropTargets[0]?.label ?? 'nothing');
    },
    // Fires only when a matching drag lands on a target that accepts it.
    onDrop: ({ source, dropTarget }) => {
      console.log('dropped', source.label, 'on', dropTarget.label);
    },
    // Fires once whatever the ending: a drop, a release over empty space, or a
    // cancel.
    onDragEnd: ({ source }, eventDetails) => {
      console.log('ended', source.label, eventDetails.reason);
    },
  });

  return null;
}
```

Every handler receives the event payload first. Its second argument, `eventDetails`, contains the `reason` and native `event`.

Monitors do not receive `onDragEnter` or `onDragLeave`, which belong to drop targets. `onDragEnd` fires whenever the drag ends. `onDrop` fires only after a successful drop.

Use [`Draggable.useActiveDrag`](/react/components/draggable.md) to read the active source without event handlers. It re-renders only when a drag starts or ends. Outside React, use [`useDragDropManager`](/react/utils/use-drag-drop-manager.md) and its `registerMonitor` method.

## API reference

### useDragMonitor

Observes every drag operation that matches `accept`, regardless of which
element started it. Use it for status indicators, analytics, or committing a
reorder on drop.

**useDragMonitor Parameters:**

| Parameter  | Type                                                                               | Default | Description |
| :--------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :------ | :---------- |
| parameters | `WithInferredAccept<UseDragMonitorParameters<TPayload \| unknown>, AnyDragAccept>` | -       | -           |

**useDragMonitor Return Value:**

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

### useDragMonitor.Parameters

```typescript
type useDragMonitorParameters<TSourceData = unknown> = {
  /**
   * One or more drag source kinds observed by this monitor. Omit it to observe
   * every drag with `source.payload` typed as `unknown`.
   *
   * Base UI evaluates this value when the monitor joins a drag, either at drag
   * start or when the monitor registers during a drag. If the value excludes the
   * drag, the monitor ignores its remaining events. Return early from callbacks to
   * apply more specific filters.
   */
  accept?: DragAccept<TSourceData>;
  /**
   * Event handler called when any matching drag starts (once per drag),
   * wherever it originated.
   */
  onDragStart?: (
    parameters: DragStartEvent<TSourceData>,
    eventDetails: DragStartEventDetails,
  ) => void;
  /**
   * Event handler called (rAF-throttled) as the pointer moves during any
   * matching drag.
   */
  onDrag?: (parameters: DragMoveEvent<TSourceData>, eventDetails: DragMoveEventDetails) => void;
  /**
   * Event handler called when the active drop-target stack changes during any
   * matching drag.
   */
  onDropTargetChange?: (
    parameters: DropTargetChangeEvent<TSourceData>,
    eventDetails: DropTargetChangeEventDetails,
  ) => void;
  /**
   * Event handler called when a matching drag is released over an accepting drop
   * target, and only then. `dropTarget` is never `null` here.
   */
  onDrop?: (
    parameters: DragDropEvent<TSourceData>,
    eventDetails: { reason: 'drop'; event: PointerEvent | KeyboardEvent },
  ) => void;
  /**
   * Event handler called once when the drag ends after a drop, outside release, or
   * cancellation. `eventDetails.reason` identifies the outcome. `dropTarget` is the
   * target of a release, or `null` when there was none.
   */
  onDragEnd?: (parameters: DragEndEvent<TSourceData>, eventDetails: DragEndEventDetails) => void;
};
```

### useDragMonitor.ReturnValue

```typescript
type useDragMonitorReturnValue = useDragMonitor.ReturnValue;
```

## Additional Types

### BaseDragEvent

Fields included in every drag-and-drop event.

```typescript
type BaseDragEvent<TSourceData = unknown> = {
  location: DragLocationHistory;
  source: DragSource<TSourceData>;
  /**
   * The input method driving the drag.
   * This is the reliable way to detect a keyboard drag, as
   * `location.current.input.pointerType` is `null` for those.
   */
  mode: DragMode;
};
```

### DragDropEvent

The event object passed to `onDrop`. This event fires only after release over an
accepting target, so `dropTarget` is never `null`. In a drop target's `onDrop`,
it is the same record as `self`.

```typescript
type DragDropEvent<TSourceData = unknown> = {
  location: DragLocationHistory;
  source: DragSource<TSourceData>;
  /**
   * The input method driving the drag.
   * This is the reliable way to detect a keyboard drag, as
   * `location.current.input.pointerType` is `null` for those.
   */
  mode: DragMode;
  dropTarget: DropTargetRecord;
};
```

### DragDropEventDetails

The event details passed to `onDrop`.

```typescript
type DragDropEventDetails = {
  /** Why the event fired. */
  reason: 'drop';
  /**
   * The native event behind the dispatch. Programmatic and lifecycle-only
   * reasons carry a generic `Event` placeholder.
   */
  event: PointerEvent | KeyboardEvent;
};
```

### DragEndEvent

The event object passed to `onDragEnd`.

```typescript
type DragEndEvent<TSourceData = unknown> = {
  location: DragLocationHistory;
  source: DragSource<TSourceData>;
  /**
   * The input method driving the drag.
   * This is the reliable way to detect a keyboard drag, as
   * `location.current.input.pointerType` is `null` for those.
   */
  mode: DragMode;
  /**
   * Whether the drag was aborted instead of released by the user.
   * A drag released outside of any drop target is not canceled; read `dropTarget` for that,
   * or `eventDetails.reason` for the exact outcome.
   */
  canceled: boolean;
  /**
   * The innermost drop target the release landed on, or `null` when the release was
   * over no target or the drag was canceled.
   */
  dropTarget: DropTargetRecord | null;
};
```

### DragEndEventDetails

The event details passed to `onDragEnd`.

```typescript
type DragEndEventDetails =
  | { reason: 'escape-key'; event: KeyboardEvent }
  | { reason: 'tab-key'; event: KeyboardEvent }
  | { reason: 'drop'; event: PointerEvent | KeyboardEvent }
  | { reason: 'outside-release'; event: PointerEvent | KeyboardEvent }
  | { reason: 'pointer-down'; event: PointerEvent }
  | { reason: 'focus-out'; event: FocusEvent }
  | { reason: 'imperative-action'; event: Event }

  | { reason: 'missed-release'; event: PointerEvent }
  | { reason: 'document-detached'; event: Event }
  | { reason: 'handler-error'; event: Event };
```

### DragEventMap

The event object of each drag-and-drop event, indexed by the event name.
`DragEventMap<TData>['onDrag']` is the event object passed to `onDrag` callbacks.
For a drop target's handlers use `DropTargetEvent` (or `DropEvent`),
which add the target's own `self` record.

```typescript
type DragEventMap<TSourceData = unknown> = {
  onDragStart: DragStartEvent<TSourceData>;
  onDrag: DragMoveEvent<TSourceData>;
  onDropTargetChange: DropTargetChangeEvent<TSourceData>;
  onDragEnter: BaseDragEvent<TSourceData>;
  onDragLeave: BaseDragEvent<TSourceData>;
  onDrop: DragDropEvent<TSourceData>;
  onDragEnd: DragEndEvent<TSourceData>;
};
```

### DragMoveEvent

The event object passed to `onDrag`.

```typescript
type DragMoveEvent<TSourceData = unknown> = {
  location: DragLocationHistory;
  source: DragSource<TSourceData>;
  /**
   * The input method driving the drag.
   * This is the reliable way to detect a keyboard drag, as
   * `location.current.input.pointerType` is `null` for those.
   */
  mode: DragMode;
};
```

### DragMoveEventDetails

The event details passed to `onDrag`.

```typescript
type DragMoveEventDetails =
  { reason: 'pointer'; event: PointerEvent } | { reason: 'keyboard'; event: KeyboardEvent };
```

### DragStartEvent

The event object passed to `onDragStart`.

```typescript
type DragStartEvent<TSourceData = unknown> = {
  location: DragLocationHistory;
  source: DragSource<TSourceData>;
  /**
   * The input method driving the drag.
   * This is the reliable way to detect a keyboard drag, as
   * `location.current.input.pointerType` is `null` for those.
   */
  mode: DragMode;
};
```

### DragStartEventDetails

The event details passed to `onDragStart`.

```typescript
type DragStartEventDetails =
  { reason: 'pointer'; event: PointerEvent } | { reason: 'keyboard'; event: KeyboardEvent };
```

### DropTargetChangeEvent

The event object passed to `onDropTargetChange`.

```typescript
type DropTargetChangeEvent<TSourceData = unknown> = {
  location: DragLocationHistory;
  source: DragSource<TSourceData>;
  /**
   * The input method driving the drag.
   * This is the reliable way to detect a keyboard drag, as
   * `location.current.input.pointerType` is `null` for those.
   */
  mode: DragMode;
};
```

### DropTargetChangeEventDetails

The event details passed to `onDropTargetChange`, `onDragEnter` and `onDragLeave`.

```typescript
type DropTargetChangeEventDetails =
  | { reason: 'pointer'; event: PointerEvent }
  | { reason: 'keyboard'; event: KeyboardEvent }
  | { reason: 'escape-key'; event: KeyboardEvent }
  | { reason: 'tab-key'; event: KeyboardEvent }
  | { reason: 'drop'; event: PointerEvent | KeyboardEvent }
  | { reason: 'outside-release'; event: PointerEvent | KeyboardEvent }
  | { reason: 'pointer-down'; event: PointerEvent }
  | { reason: 'focus-out'; event: FocusEvent }
  | { reason: 'imperative-action'; event: Event }
  | { reason: 'window-blur'; event: FocusEvent }
  | { reason: 'page-hidden'; event: Event }
  | { reason: 'pointer-canceled'; event: PointerEvent }
  | { reason: 'capture-lost'; event: PointerEvent }
  | { reason: 'missed-release'; event: PointerEvent }
  | { reason: 'document-detached'; event: Event }
  | { reason: 'handler-error'; event: Event };
```

### RegisterMonitorParameters

```typescript
type RegisterMonitorParameters<TSourceData = unknown> = {
  /**
   * One or more drag source kinds observed by this monitor. Omit it to observe
   * every drag with `source.payload` typed as `unknown`.

  onDragEnd?: (parameters: DragEndEvent<TSourceData>, eventDetails: DragEndEventDetails) => void;
};
```

### UseDragMonitorParameters

Parameters for [`useDragMonitor`](/react/utils/use-drag-monitor.md). Defines the drag kinds to observe and the
lifecycle callbacks fired for every matching drag.

```typescript
type UseDragMonitorParameters<TSourceData = unknown> = {
  /**
   * One or more drag source kinds observed by this monitor. Omit it to observe
   * every drag with `source.payload` typed as `unknown`.
   *
   * Base UI evaluates this value when the monitor joins a drag, either at drag
   * start or when the monitor registers during a drag. If the value excludes the
   * drag, the monitor ignores its remaining events. Return early from callbacks to
