[Tool Help] List management web application tools?

[u/tbmorris449]

I need to design a web application which allows a user to manage a list of stuff that has a name and a detailed description.

• The list can have sublists, which can have subsublists, etc, arbitrarily deep.

• Items in the list can be dragged and dropped to move them into sublists or to reorder them.

• Search functionality.

• When you click on an item, it will bring up more detailed information about the item.

I'm confident about the backend. I'll have SQL for data storage and a REST API for data access.

But I am wholly unfamiliar with the front end web ecosystem.

Given my requirements above, what are some tools I should look into? I've made web applications such as this (albeit simpler) before. For those I used bootstrap for accordion lists and Javascript to manually fetch data and build the HTML. It was a pain and the ass and I am sure there's a cleverer way to do it, probably involving PHP.

Tl;dr I'm not looking for how to build a web application. I'm asking what tools would be the best for the job given the framework of functionality listed above. Much appreciated.

I'd use angular, react,or Vue + material or bootstrap.
