Research direction

Start by reviewing the react-draggable API and documentation to determine whether alignment guides are supported. If they are not, define the required snapping or guide behavior and identify whether custom event listeners or an external library would be appropriate. Done should include a documented implementation approach or an agreed feature scope with examples or related resources.

Description

Hello,

I’m using react-draggable for a project and would like to add alignment guides (similar to the snapping or ruler guides in design tools like Figma or Photoshop) to help users align draggable elements.

Could you please guide me on how to implement this feature? Specifically:

Does the library provide built-in support for alignment guides?
If not, is there a recommended approach to achieve this (e.g., custom event listeners or integration with external libraries)?
Are there any examples or related resources you can share?
Thank you for your time and for maintaining this great library!

Best regards,
