Table_Reordering

Aim

To make the table-reordering interaction and visual feedback in BlockNote more closely resemble those of Notion (here) and Microsoft Loop (here).

Summary

Dragging a table row or column gives almost no feedback today: a drop cursor at the target position, and a deliberately hidden 1x1 native drag image, so nothing follows the cursor and nothing marks what is being moved.

This adds both to TableHandlesExtension itself, so they are the default rather than something each app has to rebuild:

  • The cells of the row/column being dragged get a bn-table-drag-source class, so it stays clear what is moving.
  • A copy of those cells is used as the native drag image, so the content visibly follows the cursor.

This PR originally added the above as an example. Per review feedback the drag preview and drop-zone parts were ported into core, and the Loop-style table restyle that example also carried was dropped — that part is app-level CSS rather than something core should impose.

How it works

Both hang off the drag state the extension already keeps, and cells are resolved with the same getCellsAtRowHandle / getCellsAtColumnHandle helpers the drop cursor already uses, so merged cells are handled consistently.

The highlight is added as node decorations alongside the existing drop-cursor widgets. It stays for the whole drag, including while the cursor is outside the table or over a position that can't be dropped into — only the drop cursor remains conditional on that.

The drag image is a copy of the dragged cells, appended next to the editor. A few details worth calling out for review:

  • It inherits the editor's classes, minus the ones identifying it as the editor (bn-editor, bn-root, ProseMirror). SideMenuView measures every .bn-editor in the document, and this isn't one — this is the same filtering the side menu's own drag preview already does.
  • Table styles are matched against :is(.bn-editor, .bn-table-drag-preview) so they reach the copy. :is() takes the specificity of its most specific argument, so those selectors stay exactly as specific as they were and existing app-level overrides are unaffected.
  • Cells are copied at their measured on-screen size, and the width / min-width / max-width the real table carries inline are dropped. That min-width covers every column, so a copy holding a single column would otherwise be stretched to the width of the whole table.
  • table-layout, border-collapse and border-spacing are carried over from the real table. They're set on .ProseMirror table and the copy sits outside it, so without this the browser defaults apply and every border between the copied cells is drawn twice.

This also guards the decorations against a stale tablePos. It's captured on hover and never remapped, so a concurrent edit elsewhere in the document mid-drag can make it resolve out of range and throw out of the plugin (#2921). Skipping the decorations in that case is enough to keep the editor alive.

Test plan

tests/src/end-to-end/tables/tables.test.tsx, alongside the existing table drag test, across chromium/firefox/webkit — drag tests skip on firefox, matching the existing convention in that file:

  • Row drag highlights the row, shows a drop cursor, and produces a drag image holding a copy of the row. The copy is asserted to be untinted, since it represents the cells as they will look once dropped.
  • Column drag highlights one cell per row and stacks a copy of each in the drag image.
  • The drag image is the same width as the column being dragged. This one fails by 239px against the pre-fix code, from the inherited min-width described above.
  • Cancelling a drag with Escape cleans up both the highlight and the drag image.

Notes

  • BlockNote's table drag is native-HTML5-DnD only today, so there is still no keyboard-operable reorder path and no touch support. Both are separate, larger features and are unchanged here.
  • Row/column handles are already non-draggable when the row/column contains a merged cell (TableHandle.tsx), so neither the highlight nor the drag image has to represent that case.
  • Table drag: view.tablePos is never remapped through tr.mapping, throws on a concurrent edit mid-drag #2921 is only mitigated, not fixed: the decorations no longer throw on a stale tablePos, but dropHandler still works from a table snapshot taken at drag start.

Raised in discussion #2919 first per maintainer guidance.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Table row and column dragging now uses cloned, styled previews with source-cell highlighting. Invalid drag positions are ignored, and drop cursors render only for valid moves. End-to-end tests cover previews, cleanup, cancellation, and sizing.

Changes

Table drag preview behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preview rendering and styling
packages/core/src/editor/editor.css, packages/core/src/extensions/TableHandles/TableHandles.ts
Cloned row and column previews preserve table styling and displayed cell dimensions. CSS styles the preview and drag-source cells.
Drag decorations and lifecycle
packages/core/src/extensions/TableHandles/TableHandles.ts
Dragged cells receive highlights. Invalid positions are ignored, valid drop cursors are retained, and previews are created and removed during drag events and view destruction.
End-to-end drag validation
tests/src/end-to-end/tables/tables.test.tsx
Tests cover row and column previews, highlighting, drop cursors, cancellation cleanup, and column preview widths.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 225c1

This change adds row and column drag highlighting and previews, but a concurrent document edit during dragging can still trigger an out-of-range position error and destabilize the editor. A targeted fix or explicit owner acceptance is needed before merge.

Poem

A rabbit drags a row with care,
A cloned table floats through air.
Cells glow bright, then fade from sight,
Escape cleans up the preview light.
“Hop!” says the row, “The drop is right!”

Handle discovery via the rotate transform is a presentation-coupled heuristic.

Row vs. column handles are distinguished by inspecting inline style.transform. Any styling change in TableHandlesExtension silently flips these tests to selecting the wrong handle. A data attribute or ordering-based lookup would be more durable, if one is available.

Hit-testing for the table via elementFromPoint is fragile.

The point referencePosTable.x + 1, y + 1 can be covered by the drag handle, a floating toolbar, or any overlay, in which case closest("table") returns null and the drag image silently never appears. Resolving the table from the editor DOM (e.g. editor.domElement/the handles extension's stored table element) would be deterministic.

Consider guarding the resolve against out-of-range positions.

Even with the mapping fix above, state.doc.resolve(tablePos + 1) and tableResolvedPos.node() assume the position still lands inside a table node. A try/catch (or a tablePos + 1 <= state.doc.content.size check plus a tableNode.type.name check) returning null keeps a stale drag state from tearing down the whole editor view.

Don’t rely on the untyped key field for the slash-menu override.

key is an implementation detail here, so if the item shape changes this map returns the stock stock table item and /table won’t insert with headerRows: 1. Match on a stable public field such as title instead, or add a dev-time guard that fails when no table item was found. The content as any cast is also unnecessary because Table content.headerRows is already optional in the public table content type.

Addresses review comment on TypeCellOS#2920 (r3651925104): apply() cast any object
transaction meta straight to DragSourceMeta without checking tablePos/
originalIndex were actually numbers, and never remapped a stored tablePos
across later transactions.

- Validate the meta shape before accepting it, matching the suggested fix.
- When a transaction changes the document without setting our meta (a
  concurrent local or collaborative edit while a drag is in progress),
  remap the stored tablePos through tr.mapping instead of leaving it
  stale.

While writing a regression test for this, dispatching an unrelated
transaction mid-drag surfaced a pre-existing bug in BlockNote's own
TableHandlesExtension: view.tablePos (used for its drop-cursor decoration)
has the same never-remapped issue, but throws a RangeError instead of
failing safely, since it's a plain instance property rather than plugin
state going through tr.mapping. That's out of scope for this example to
fix, so the test was dropped (it can't pass while core's own decorations()
throws first in the same view update) and the README's "Concurrent edits
mid-drag" section was corrected - it previously understated this as
"drops can overwrite a concurrent edit" when it can actually throw and
break the editor.

@mustafa-yilmaz the screen recording looks great. With the way that you implemented it, it only is changed in the one example, whereas I think that it would be great to have both the drag preview & drop zone styling by default in the blocknote table implementation. Would you mind porting that over so that it can be part of the project as a whole? I'm not sure that we want to go for the table CSS changes at this time, we can leave that in your example if people ever want to port that into their application. The thing that interests me more for the project is to move over the drag preview & drop zone parts.

Thanks for contributing to the project!

While writing a regression test for this, dispatching an unrelated
transaction mid-drag surfaced a pre-existing bug in BlockNote's own
TableHandlesExtension: view.tablePos (used for its drop-cursor decoration)
has the same never-remapped issue, but throws a RangeError instead of
failing safely, since it's a plain instance property rather than plugin
state going through tr.mapping. That's out of scope for this example to
fix, so the test was dropped (it can't pass while core's own decorations()
throws first in the same view update) and the README's "Concurrent edits
mid-drag" section was corrected - it previously understated this as
"drops can overwrite a concurrent edit" when it can actually throw and
break the editor.

Dragging a table row or column gave almost no feedback: a drop cursor at
the target position, and a deliberately hidden 1x1 native drag image, so
nothing followed the cursor and nothing marked what was being moved.

Both are now part of the TableHandles extension, hanging off the drag
state it already keeps:

- The cells of the row/column being dragged get a `bn-table-drag-source`
  class, via node decorations added alongside the existing drop-cursor
  widgets. Both are resolved with getCellsAtRowHandle /
  getCellsAtColumnHandle, so merged cells are handled the same way the
  drop cursor already handles them. The highlight is shown for the whole
  drag, including while the cursor is outside the table or over a
  position that can't be dropped into - only the drop cursor is
  conditional on that.
- The hidden drag image is replaced by a copy of the cells being dragged,
  so the content visibly follows the cursor. Cells are copied at their
  measured on-screen size, which reproduces the widths the <colgroup>
  supplied and flattens merged cells.

The copy is appended next to the editor and inherits the editor's
classes, minus the ones identifying it *as* the editor (SideMenuView
measures every .bn-editor in the document, and this isn't one) - the same
filtering the side menu's own drag preview does. Table styles are matched
against `:is(.bn-editor, .bn-table-drag-preview)` so they reach the copy;
:is() takes its most specific argument, so the selectors stay exactly as
specific as they were and existing overrides are unaffected. Layout
properties set on `.ProseMirror table`, which the copy is outside of, are
carried over explicitly, as are the width and minimum width the table is
given inline - the latter covers every column, so a copy holding one
column would otherwise be stretched to the width of the whole table.

Also guards the decorations against a stale `tablePos`: it's captured on
hover and isn't remapped, so a concurrent edit elsewhere in the document
mid-drag could make it resolve out of range and throw out of the plugin
(TypeCellOS#2921). Skipping the decorations is enough to keep the editor alive.

Also clear the preview on view teardown.

unsetTableDragImage() runs only from setTableDragImage and from dragEnd(). dragEnd() throws before the cleanup call when view.state is undefined, and TableHandlesView.destroy() never calls it. If the editor unmounts during an active drag, dragImageElement stays in the DOM and the module-scope reference stays set.

Call unsetTableDragImage() from the plugin view destroy() as well.

@mustafa-yilmaz the screen recording looks great. With the way that you implemented it, it only is changed in the one example, whereas I think that it would be great to have both the drag preview & drop zone styling by default in the blocknote table implementation. Would you mind porting that over so that it can be part of the project as a whole? I'm not sure that we want to go for the table CSS changes at this time, we can leave that in your example if people ever want to port that into their application. The thing that interests me more for the project is to move over the drag preview & drop zone parts.

Thanks for contributing to the project!

@nperez0111

"the drag preview & drop zone styling" is ported to the core, and the CSS example part is dropped.

Table_Reordering

…state

Addresses review on TypeCellOS#2920 (r3798069357): the try/catch only covered
`state.doc.resolve(tablePos + 1)`, so everything after it was still
unprotected. `posAtIndex` calls `node.child()` internally and throws a
RangeError when the index is out of range, which is reachable two ways -
`tablePos` still resolving but no longer pointing at the table, and the
row/column counts coming from `state.block`, a snapshot taken on hover
that can exceed what's in the document by the time it's used.

The decoration build moves into `getTableDragDecorations`, which the
plugin prop calls inside a single try/catch, so a stale position or index
anywhere in it - including the drop-cursor branches, which were never
covered - skips the decorations instead of throwing out of the plugin. It
also checks the resolved node really is a table before indexing into it.

This still isn't a fix for the underlying staleness (TypeCellOS#2921), which needs
`tablePos` remapped through `tr.mapping`; it keeps the editor alive until
then.

Also clears the drag image in `TableHandlesView.destroy()`. Cleanup
otherwise only runs from `dragEnd`, which never arrives if the editor is
torn down mid-drag, leaving the copy in the DOM and the module-scope
reference set.

On the two nitpicks from the last review:

unsetTableDragImage() on teardown — valid, fixed in 225c1cc. TableHandlesView.destroy() now clears it. As noted, cleanup otherwise only ran from dragEnd, which never arrives if the editor unmounts mid-drag.

word-break: break-wordoverflow-wrap: break-word — skipping this one deliberately.

That declaration is pre-existing; this PR only changed the selector in front of it, from .bn-editor [data-content-type="table"] table to :is(.bn-editor, .bn-table-drag-preview) … so the rule also reaches the drag image. The declaration itself is untouched.

The two properties aren't interchangeable here. word-break: break-word leaves the min-content contribution at the longest word, whereas overflow-wrap: break-word (and anywhere) can reduce it to a single character. That value feeds the table layout algorithm, so swapping it can change computed column widths — which is exactly the behaviour this PR just spent its last round getting right (the drag image was rendering at the full table width because it inherited the table's inline min-width). Changing it here would mean an unrelated layout change riding along in a feature PR, and it would apply to every BlockNote table, not just the new drag preview.

Happy to do it as a separate change if maintainers want the deprecation cleaned up — it deserves its own before/after check on narrow columns with long unbroken words.
