## Description

This library provides a set of directives for building sortable, hierarchical user interfaces within the Angular framework. It leverages the native HTML5 drag-and-drop API to enable direct manipulation of data objects, allowing users to reorder items and manage complex list structures through intuitive browser interactions.

The project distinguishes itself by supporting nested data visualization, enabling the creation of tree structures that maintain their hierarchy during drag-and-drop operations. It offers granular control over these interactions through custom drag handles, which restrict movement to specific sub-elements, and provides mechanisms for cross-window data transfer to facilitate movement between separate browser tabs.

Developers can define draggable elements and drop zones with specific validation rules, filtering logic, and lifecycle hooks to manage state synchronization. The library also includes tools for visual feedback, such as temporary placeholders that indicate drop positioning, and allows for the configuration of allowed effects like moving or copying data.
