Installation

The easiest way to get the latest version of React Flow is to install it via npm, yarn or pnpm:

npm install @sumbat/reactflow

Quick Start

This is only a very basic usage example of React Flow. To see everything that is possible with the library, please refer to the website for guides, examples and API reference.

import { useCallback } from 'react';
import ReactFlow, {
  MiniMap,
  Controls,
  Background,
  useNodesState,
  useEdgesState,
  addEdge,
} from '@sumbat/reactflow';

import '@sumbat/reactflow/dist/style.css';

const initialNodes = [
  { id: '1', position: { x: 0, y: 0 }, data: { label: '1' } },
  { id: '2', position: { x: 0, y: 100 }, data: { label: '2' } },
];

const initialEdges = [{ id: 'e1-2', source: '1', target: '2' }];

function Flow() {
  const [nodes, setNodes, onNodesChange] = useNodesState(initialNodes);
  const [edges, setEdges, onEdgesChange] = useEdgesState(initialEdges);

  const onConnect = useCallback((params) => setEdges((eds) => addEdge(params, eds)), [setEdges]);

  return (
    <ReactFlow
      nodes={nodes}
      edges={edges}
      onNodesChange={onNodesChange}
      onEdgesChange={onEdgesChange}
      onConnect={onConnect}
    >
      <MiniMap />
      <Controls />
      <Background />
    </ReactFlow>
  );
}

Development

Before you can start developing please make sure that you have pnpm installed (npm i -g pnpm). Then install the dependencies using pnpm: pnpm install.

For local development, you can use pnpm dev.

Testing

Testing is done with cypress. You can find the tests in the examples/cypress folder. In order to run the tests do:

pnpm test

Credits

React Flow was initially developed for datablocks, a graph-based editor for transforming, analyzing and visualizing data in the browser. Under the hood, React Flow depends on these great libraries:

• d3-zoom - used for zoom, pan and drag interactions with the graph canvas
• d3-drag - used for making the nodes draggable
• zustand - internal state management
