refactor(explore): migrate Explore Controls from react-dnd to @dnd-kit #37880

rusackas · 2026-02-11T07:43:43Z

SUMMARY

Migrate the Explore Controls drag-and-drop functionality from react-dnd to @dnd-kit for React 18 compatibility.

This PR is part of a larger effort to migrate the codebase from react-dnd to @dnd-kit, which is better maintained and fully compatible with React 18's concurrent rendering.

BEFORE/AFTER SCREENSHOTS OR COVERAGE

N/A - No visual changes. Drag-and-drop functionality remains the same.

TESTING INSTRUCTIONS

Open the Explore view
Test dragging columns/metrics from the datasource panel to control dropzones
Test reordering columns/metrics within control panels
Verify drag feedback and animations work correctly

Note on CI

The pre-commit type-checking hook may fail due to a pre-existing unrelated error (ColorSchemeEnum not exported from @superset-ui/chart-controls). This is caused by stale build artifacts and is not related to these changes.

Migrate the Explore Controls drag-and-drop functionality from react-dnd to @dnd-kit for React 18 compatibility. This includes: - OptionWrapper: sortable column/metric options - OptionControlLabel: sortable metric labels - DndSelectLabel: SortableContext wrapper for animations - DatasourcePanelDragOption: datasource panel drag source - ExploreDndContext: new DndContext wrapper with drag handlers Also updates test helpers to support @dnd-kit via `useDndKit: true` option and updates all related test files.

+          return;
+        }
+
+        // Handle external drop (from DatasourcePanel to dropzone)


Suggestion: External drops (dragging items from the datasource panel into control dropzones) are never handled because dropHandlers is never populated and handleDragEnd only consults that map; since droppable zones (e.g., DndSelectLabel) provide their onDrop/onDropValue callbacks via over.data.current, the current code silently ignores valid drops and no onDrop is ever called. You can fix this by first checking over.data.current for droppable metadata and invoking its onDrop/onDropValue when the dragged item's type is accepted, falling back to dropHandlers only if no inline handlers are present. [logic error]

Severity Level: Critical 🚨

- ❌ Explore controls cannot accept new columns via drag-drop. - ❌ Metrics dropped from datasource never update control state. - ⚠️ DatasourcePanel filtering uses DropzoneContext but drops still fail.

Suggested change

// Handle external drop (from DatasourcePanel to dropzone)

const droppableData = over.data.current as

| {

accept?: string[];

onDrop?: (item: { type: string; value?: unknown }) => void;

onDropValue?: (value: unknown) => void;

}

| undefined;

if (activeDataCurrent && droppableData) {

const { accept, onDrop, onDropValue } = droppableData;

// If an accept list is provided, ensure this type is allowed

if (!accept || accept.includes(activeDataCurrent.type)) {

const item = {

type: activeDataCurrent.type,

value: activeDataCurrent.value,

};

onDrop?.(item);

if (activeDataCurrent.value !== undefined) {

onDropValue?.(activeDataCurrent.value);

}

// Drop was handled by the droppable itself; no need to consult registered handlers

return;

}

}

Steps of Reproduction ✅

1. Open the Explore view, which is wrapped by `ExploreDndContextProvider` in `superset-frontend/src/explore/components/ExploreContainer/index.tsx:22-40`, so all drag-and-drop in Explore goes through `ExploreDndContextProvider` and its `DndContext` `onDragEnd` handler in `ExploreDndContext.tsx:150-195`. 2. Note that control dropzones are implemented using `DndSelectLabel` in `superset-frontend/src/explore/components/controls/DndColumnSelectControl/DndSelectLabel.tsx:40-55`, which calls `useDroppable` with `id: \`dropzone-\${props.name}\`` and `data: { accept, onDrop, onDropValue }` at lines 80-87; this means the droppable-specific drop callbacks live in `over.data.current`, not in any global map. 3. Observe that `DropHandlersContext` from `ExploreDndContext.tsx:100-106` is never used by any consumer: a search for `DropHandlersContext` only finds its definition and provider usage within `ExploreDndContext.tsx` itself (no imports or calls elsewhere), so `register` is never called and the internal `dropHandlers` state remains an empty object for the lifetime of the app. 4. In the same provider, the `handleDragEnd` logic at `ExploreDndContext.tsx:150-195` first handles sortable reordering, and then for non-sortable external drops executes the existing code snippet (lines 186-193) that resolves `const overId = String(over.id); const handler = dropHandlers[overId];` and only calls `handler(active.id, over.id, activeDataCurrent)` if a handler exists, without consulting `over.data.current` at all. 5. Run the app and in Explore drag a column or metric from the datasource panel (rendered by `DatasourcePanel` in `superset-frontend/src/explore/components/DatasourcePanel/index.tsx:128-158`, which uses `DropzoneContext` only for validation) into a control using `DndSelectLabel` (e.g., a metrics/columns/filter control). The drag is recognized visually (because `useDroppable` and `useIsDragging` / `DraggingContext` drive the hover/border styling), and `DndContext` correctly fires `onDragEnd`, but since `dropHandlers` has no entries, the condition `if (handler && activeDataCurrent)` at `ExploreDndContext.tsx:191-193` fails. 6. Observe the functional result: the control's `onDrop`/`onDropValue` callbacks supplied via `DndSelectLabel`'s props are never invoked from `handleDragEnd`, so the control state is not updated and the dragged datasource item does not appear in the control; drag-and-drop from the datasource panel into controls is effectively a no-op despite UI feedback.

- Missing test coverage for sortable props · Line 52-54
  
  New sortable functionality (sortableType, itemCount) lacks test coverage. The existing tests use useDndKit but don't exercise the SortableContext rendering or id generation logic.
- No validation for sortable prop consistency · Line 115-121
  
  If itemCount is set but sortableType is undefined, sortableItemIds becomes empty, disabling sorting silently. Consider adding validation or documentation.
- Empty useEffect placeholder · Line 136-141
  
  This useEffect is empty except for a comment about side effects during hover. If no logic is needed, it should be removed to avoid confusion.

- Potential draggable ID collision · Line 77-84
  
  The draggableId uses names (column_name, metric_name) which may not be unique across different datasources or contexts. Consider using unique identifiers to ensure drag operations work correctly in all scenarios.

Missing drag behavior test

The new 'renders multiple labels' test only checks that components render, but the removed 'triggers onMoveLabel on drop' test verified core drag behavior by asserting onMoveLabel is called on drop. Per BITO.md adaptive_rules [6262], tests should assert actual business logic, not just rendering. Drag functionality is key to OptionControlLabel, so behavior testing should be restored.
