## API Reference

### Constructor

```javascript
new SortableList({
    container: '#language-list',           // Required: Element or selector
    items: [{id: 1, name: 'English'}],    // Required: Array of items
    onChange: (newOrder) => {},            // Required: Callback function
    renderItem: (item) => {},              // Optional: Custom renderer
    disabled: false,                       // Optional: Disabled state
    loading: false,                        // Optional: Loading state
    emptyMessage: 'No items'               // Optional: Empty message
})
```

### Methods

| `getItems()` | Get current items in order |
| `setDisabled(disabled)` | Set disabled state |
| `setLoading(loading)` | Set loading state |
| `destroy()` | Clean up and remove component |

### Events

The `onChange` callback receives the new order as an array of items:

```javascript
onChange: (newOrder) => {
    // newOrder is the full items array in the new order
    console.log('New order:', newOrder);
}
```

- `↑`/`↓` - Move grabbed item
- `Esc` - Cancel operation

### Accessibility
- Full ARIA attributes
- Screen reader announcements
- Keyboard accessible
- Focus management
- High contrast support
- Reduced motion support

### Visual Feedback
- Ghost element during drag
- Placeholder at drop position

## Usage Examples

### Basic Usage

```javascript
import SortableList from './components/SortableList.js';

const sortable = new SortableList({
    container: '#my-list',
    items: [
        { id: 1, name: 'Item 1' },
        { id: 2, name: 'Item 2' },
        { id: 3, name: 'Item 3' }
    ],
    onChange: (newOrder) => {
        console.log('New order:', newOrder);
    }
});
```

### Custom Rendering

```javascript
import { el } from './utils/dom.js';

const sortable = new SortableList({
    container: '#language-list',
    items: languages,
    renderItem: (lang) => {
        return el('div', { class: 'language-item' },
            el('span', { class: 'flag' }, lang.flag),
            el('span', { class: 'name' }, lang.name),
            el('span', { class: 'code' }, lang.code)
        );
    },
    onChange: saveOrder
});
```

### Async Loading

```javascript
const sortable = new SortableList({
    container: '#list',
    items: [],
    loading: true,
    onChange: handleChange
});

// Load data
fetch('/api/items').then(res => res.json()).then(data => {
    sortable.setLoading(false);
    sortable.setItems(data.items);
});
```

### WordPress Integration

```javascript
// In your WordPress admin page
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    const sortable = new SortableList({
        container: '#mpz-language-priority',
        items: JSON.parse(document.getElementById('mpz-data').dataset.languages),
        onChange: async (newOrder) => {
            const formData = new FormData();
            formData.append('action', 'mpz_save_order');
            formData.append('nonce', mpzAdmin.nonce);
            formData.append('order', JSON.stringify(newOrder.map(item => item.id)));

            const response = await fetch(ajaxurl, {
                method: 'POST',
                body: formData
            });

            const data = await response.json();
            console.log('Saved:', data.success);
        }
    });
});
```

## Next Steps

To use the SortableList component in your WordPress admin page:

1. **Import the component:**
   ```javascript
   import SortableList from '@components/SortableList.js';
   ```

2. **Add container to your PHP template:**
   ```php
   <div id="mpz-language-list"></div>
   ```

3. **Initialize in your JavaScript:**
   ```javascript
   const sortable = new SortableList({
       container: '#mpz-language-list',
       items: mpzData.languages,
       onChange: saveLanguageOrder
   });
   ```

4. **Add AJAX handler in PHP:**
   ```php
   add_action('wp_ajax_mpz_save_language_order', 'mpz_handle_save_language_order');
   ```
