React drag Textbox anywhere in View












0














I want to build an interactive Flowchart App. The basic structure is already done (just a lot of input fields), but now I want to implement the function of commenting the flowchart.



The User should be able to drag a text box anywhere he wants on the screen and the location of the text box should be saved.



I'm already using React-dnd but I don't think this library fits. Do you have any recommendations which library or method I could use for this? Thanks in advance.
