monitor.getItem() always returning null

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug When I call monitor.getItem() inside canDrag() it always returns null.

Reproduction

Live Reproduction

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Drag around one of the boxes
Check the console to see the value of monitor.getItem() (it’s always null)

Expected behavior I expect the result to be either the value of item or whatever is returned by begin(). This is particularly useful in combination with begin() as some drag events need to be suppressed based on its result.

The PR goes a little deeper than the problem stated here, but I think this issue brought to light some usability issues with the useDrag() api.

Yeah, I think we could do that - perhaps by returning null?
