A quick tip on implementing drag-and-drop UI behavior in Unity's UI Toolkit using a manipulator class. Instead of scattering pointer events across multiple elements, a single manipulator attached to a visual element handles pointer down, move, and up events in one place. On pointer down, the start positions are recorded; on move, the delta is calculated and applied to the element's left/top styles; on release, the drag ends. Drop behavior checks for the nearest valid slot and either snaps the element into place or resets it, resulting in a reusable drag-and-drop component.
