How to use this Drag n Drop Javascript library in my Shopify app?

No need to apologize! To ensure the code runs after your DOM is loaded, you can use the useEffect hook if you are using React. Here’s an example:

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import interact from 'interactjs';

const YourComponent = () => {
useEffect(() => {
const slider = interact('.slider');
// more code related to the interaction

// Clean up the interaction when the component unmounts
return () => {
slider.unset();
};
}, []); // Empty dependency array ensures the effect runs once after the initial render

// rest of your component code
};

export default YourComponent;

This code initializes the interaction using interact within the useEffect hook. It ensures that the code runs after the initial render when the DOM is ready. Also, it includes a cleanup function to unset the interaction when the component unmounts to avoid potential memory leaks.

Feel free to adapt it based on your component structure and needs.
