import NgxSortableModule into your app.module;

import { NgxSortableModule } from 'ngx-sortable'

add NgxSortableModule to the imports of your NgModule:

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ...,
    NgxSortableModule
  ],
  ...
})
class YourModule { ... }

use <ngx-sortable></ngx-sortable> in your templates to add sortable list in your view

Deprecated

    <ngx-sortable [items]="items" [name]="'List'" (listSorted)="listOrderChanged($event)">
        <ng-template let-item>
            <div class="sortable-list-item">
                {{item}}
            </div>
        </ng-template>
    </ngx-sortable>

`v2.0.0` onwards use below

    <ngx-sortable [items]="items" [name]="'List'" (listSorted)="listOrderChanged($event)">
        <ng-template let-item="item">
            <div class="sortable-list-item">
                {{item}}
            </div>
        </ng-template>
    </ngx-sortable>

Where content inside <ng-template> </ng-template> is the template that will be used for displaying list items. Also the class can be named accordingly this is just an example. Create a class and add it to your root style.css

Notice the difference in accessing the item in above two examples. Also from v2.0.0 onwards index of the item is also available in the template similar to let-item="item" use let-i="index" and i will be the index variable available in the template.
