Overview
Browse our examples for practical copy-paste solutions to common use cases with React Flow. Here you can find our MIT Licensed examples, which you are free to use in your projects without restrictions, as well as our Pro examples that come with our React Flow Pro subscription plans.
Nodes
NODES
A new node appears wherever you drop the connection line
NODES
Use the `isConnectable` prop to limit the number of connections a handle can have
NODES
Display any content inside of a node
NODES
Remove a node without breaking the flow
NODES
Restrict dragging to a specific part of node
NODES
Make the whole node into a handle
NODES
Detect when a node overlaps with another node
NODES
Change the size of a node with a bounding box or draggable icon
NODES
A toolbar with buttons appears next to the selected node
NODES
Automatically create edges when nodes get close to each other
NODES
A custom node that can be rotated using CSS transforms
NODES
Animate smooth transitions between different graph layouts with interactive controls
NODES
Render hundreds of nodes and edges at once
NODES
Update the data field of a specific node
NODES
Render Custom Nodes with different shapes that are commonly used in flow charts
Edges
EDGES
Create edge animations that go beyond the built-in animated edge.
EDGES
Change the appearance and behavior of the connection line
EDGES
Create edges with special routing or controls along the edge
EDGES
Delete an edge when it doesn't find a handle
EDGES
Render edge labels as divs on top of edges
EDGES
Detect edge intersections with nodes while dragging.
EDGES
You can use the EdgeToolbar component to display content on top of an edge.
EDGES
Make edges straight, stepped, smooth-stepped, or bezier curved
EDGES
Instead of having the handle at a fixed point, let it move with the connected edge
EDGES
Make your edges into arrows, add custom icons, or SVGs
EDGES
Draw multiple connection lines at once from any selected nodes.
EDGES
Click-drag to move an existing edge from one handle to another
EDGES
Edges connect to the closest available handle
EDGES
Push what React Flow edges are capable of by rendering invisible ghost nodes.
EDGES
Implement a custom edge with draggable control points to change the path of an edge
Interaction
INTERACTION
This examples demonstrates how to use the helpers to handle data flow
INTERACTION
React Flow emits different events during the connection process. Use this example to get an overview of those events and what order they are called in.
INTERACTION
Right-click a node to display custom actions
INTERACTION
Only display the content of a node when you are zoomed in close enough
INTERACTION
Drag and drop outside of the React Flow pane with native HTML Drag and Drop API or react-draggable.
INTERACTION
Check if a new connection would cause a cycle in the graph
INTERACTION
Save the state of the diagram, and reload it after refreshing the page
INTERACTION
Tap two handles to connect them, and make handles bigger for smaller devices
INTERACTION
Check if a new connection is valid and should be added
INTERACTION
Display lines that help to visually align nodes, with automatic snapping for precise positioning and layout control.
INTERACTION
Build a collaborative graph for multiple users with React Flow and yjs
INTERACTION
Select nodes and edges to cut, copy, and paste
INTERACTION
Undo and redo functionality for moving, adding, and deleting nodes and edges
Subflows & Grouping
SUBFLOWS & GROUPING
This example demonstrates how to create dynamic node grouping in React Flow.
SUBFLOWS & GROUPING
Dynamically attach and detach nodes from parent containers with drag and drop functionality
SUBFLOWS & GROUPING
Render nested graphs and group nodes, and configure the behavior of child nodes
Layout
LAYOUT
Integrate dagre js with React Flow to create simple tree layouts
LAYOUT
For a more powerful alternative to dagre, you can also use elkjs to layout your graphs
LAYOUT
Use multiple handles with the elkjs layouting engine to reduce edge crossings
LAYOUT
A diagram that flows from left to right
LAYOUT
Create hierarchical trees with expandable and collapsible nodes using dagre for automatic layouts
LAYOUT
Automatically arrange nodes using various layout engines like dagre, d3-hierarchy, or elkjs
LAYOUT
Newly added nodes never overlap with existing nodes using d3-force
LAYOUT
A self-organizing graph where users add nodes by clicking placeholder elements, and nodes position automatically.
LAYOUT
Automatically resolve node overlaps using collision detection algorithms
Styling
STYLING
Show the bare-bones base style that is built into React Flow, but is not used by default
STYLING
React Flow comes with a color mode prop that allows you to switch between dark, light and system mode.
STYLING
Use Tailwind CDN to easily make nice looking flows
STYLING
Nodes with glowing animated gradient borders, inspired by the turbo.build website
Whiteboard
WHITEBOARD
A tool that let's you delete nodes and edges by wiping
WHITEBOARD
An example about selecting multiple items using a lasso selection tool.
WHITEBOARD
An example about drawing rectangles on a whiteboard using Svelte Flow.
WHITEBOARD
Freehand drawing on the canvas.
