- Added Monitor Classes section covering DragSourceMonitor and DropTargetMonitor methods
- Added Default Collected Parameters section showing structure for both components
- Enhanced examples demonstrating item parameter usage for data passing
- Enhanced examples showing collect parameter usage for state tracking
- All examples tested and verified to compile correctly in browser
- Documentation follows existing reflex-web patterns and styling

* Fix collect parameter example and dynamic list item movement bug

- Replace non-functional collect example with real-time monitor state demonstration
- Fix move_item method to correctly identify source list and prevent wrong item removal
- Address GitHub comments from Lendemor regarding collect usage and dynamic list bugs

* Use frontmatter metadata for API Reference instead of manual section

* Remove non-functional frontmatter metadata for enterprise components

- Enterprise components require manual API Reference sections, not frontmatter metadata
- The get_components_from_metadata function only processes docs/library paths
- Manual API Reference section now appears correctly on the page
- All fixes for collect example and dynamic list bug remain intact

* Format API Reference to match library component styling

- Use h1_comp and h2_comp components instead of markdown headers
- Apply flex flex-col CSS classes to match auto-generated API sections
- Maintain comprehensive content while ensuring visual consistency
- Addresses user feedback to make API Reference 'close to the other page'

* fix syntax error

+# API Reference
+
+### rxe.dnd.draggable
+
+Creates a draggable component that can be moved around the interface.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- **`type`** (str, required): String identifier that must match the `accept` list of drop targets
+- **`item`** (dict | Callable): Data object passed to drop handlers. Can be a static dictionary or a function that receives a `DragSourceMonitor` and returns data
+- **`preview_options`** (dict): Configuration for the drag preview appearance
+- **`options`** (dict): Additional drag source options like `dropEffect`
+- **`on_end`** (EventHandler): Event handler called when drag operation completes
+- **`can_drag`** (Callable): Function that determines if the item can be dragged
+- **`is_dragging`** (Callable): Function to override the default dragging state detection
+- **`collect`** (Callable): Function to collect custom properties from the drag monitor
+
+### rxe.dnd.drop_target
+
+Creates a drop target that can receive draggable items.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- **`accept`** (str | list[str], required): Drag type(s) this target accepts
+- **`options`** (dict): Additional drop target configuration options
+- **`on_drop`** (EventHandler): Event handler called when an item is dropped, receives the `item` data
+- **`on_hover`** (EventHandler): Event handler called when an item hovers over the target
+- **`can_drop`** (Callable): Function that determines if a specific item can be dropped
+- **`collect`** (Callable): Function to collect custom properties from the drop monitor
+
+## Monitor Classes
+
+### DragSourceMonitor
+
+Provides information about the drag operation state:
+
+- **`is_dragging()`**: Returns `True` if this item is currently being dragged
+- **`can_drag()`**: Returns `True` if the item can be dragged
+- **`get_item()`**: Returns the item data being dragged
+- **`get_item_type()`**: Returns the drag type string
+- **`get_drop_result()`**: Returns the drop result (available in `on_end`)
+- **`did_drop()`**: Returns `True` if the item was successfully dropped
+
+### DropTargetMonitor
+
+Provides information about the drop target state:
+
+- **`is_over()`**: Returns `True` if a draggable item is hovering over this target
+- **`can_drop()`**: Returns `True` if the hovering item can be dropped
+- **`get_item()`**: Returns the item data of the hovering draggable
+- **`get_item_type()`**: Returns the drag type of the hovering item
+
+## Default Collected Parameters
+
+### Draggable.collected_params
+
+```python
+{
+    "is_dragging": bool,  # True when this item is being dragged
+    "can_drag": bool      # True when this item can be dragged
+}
+```
+
+### DropTarget.collected_params
+
+```python
+{
+    "is_over": bool,           # True when a draggable is hovering
+    "can_drop": bool,          # True when the hovering item can be dropped
+    "item": dict | None        # Data from the hovering draggable item
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage Examples
+
+### Data Passing with Item Parameter
+
+The `item` parameter allows you to pass data from draggable components to drop handlers:
+
+```python demo exec toggle
+import reflex as rx
+import reflex_enterprise as rxe
+
+class SimpleState(rx.State):
+    message: str = "No items dropped yet"
+
+def simple_draggable():
+    return rxe.dnd.draggable(
+        rx.box(
+            "Drag me!",
+            p=4,
+            bg="blue.100",
+            border="1px solid blue",
+            cursor="grab"
+        ),
+        type="simple",
+        item={"name": "test_item", "value": 42}
+    )
+
+def simple_drop_target():
+    return rxe.dnd.drop_target(
+        rx.box(
+            rx.text(SimpleState.message),
+            p=4,
+            bg="gray.100",
+            border="2px dashed gray",
+            min_height="100px"
+        ),
+        accept=["simple"],
+        on_drop=lambda item: SimpleState.setvar("message", f"Dropped: {item['name']}")
+    )
+
+def item_data_example():
+    return rx.vstack(
+        simple_draggable(),
+        simple_drop_target(),
+        spacing="4"
+    )
+```
+
+### Custom Collect Functions
+
+The `collect` parameter allows you to access drag and drop state information in real-time:
+
+```python demo exec toggle
+import reflex as rx
+import reflex_enterprise as rxe
+
+class CollectState(rx.State):
+    drag_info: str = "No drag activity"
+    drop_info: str = "No drop activity"
+
+def collect_draggable():

+                rx.text("Drag me!", weight="bold"),
+                rx.text(f"Dragging: {params.is_dragging}", size="2"),
+                rx.text(f"Can drag: {params.can_drag}", size="2"),
+                spacing="1"
+            ),
+            p=4,
+            bg=rx.cond(params.is_dragging, "blue.200", "blue.100"),
+            border="1px solid blue",
+            cursor=rx.cond(params.is_dragging, "grabbing", "grab"),
+            opacity=rx.cond(params.is_dragging, 0.7, 1.0)
+        ),

+                rx.cond(
+                    params.item,
+                    rx.text(f"Hovering item: {params.item.get('name', 'Unknown')}", size="2"),
+                    rx.text("No item hovering", size="2")
+                ),
+                spacing="1"
+            ),
+            p=4,
+            bg=rx.cond(
+                params.is_over & params.can_drop,
+                "green.200",
+                rx.cond(params.is_over, "yellow.200", "gray.100")
+            ),

+        accept=["collect_item"],
+        on_drop=lambda item: [
+            CollectState.setvar("drop_info", f"Dropped: {item.get('name', 'Unknown')}"),
+            rx.toast(f"Successfully dropped {item.get('name', 'item')}")
+        ]
+    )
+
+def custom_collect_example():
+    return rx.vstack(
+        rx.text("Real-time Monitor State", weight="bold", size="4"),
+        rx.hstack(
+            collect_draggable(),
+            collect_drop_target(),
+            spacing="6",
+            align="start"
+        ),
+        rx.text(CollectState.drop_info, size="2", color="gray.600"),

 ## Provider
 
 Drag and drop functionality requires the `rxe.dnd.provider` component to wrap your app. The provider is automatically added when using `draggable` or `drop_target` components.
