• Easy to use: Seamless zooming and panning, single- and multi selection of graph elements and keyboard shortcuts are supported out of the box
• Customizable: Different node and edge types and support for custom nodes with multiple handles and custom edges
• Fast rendering: Only nodes that have changed are re-rendered
• Hooks and Utils: Hooks for handling nodes, edges and the viewport and graph helper functions
• Plugin Components: Background, MiniMap and Controls
• Reliable: Written in Typescript and tested with cypress

Are you using React Flow for a personal project? Great! No sponsorship needed, you can support us by reporting any bugs you find, sending us screenshots of your projects, and starring us on Github 🌟

Are you using React Flow at your organization and making money from it? Awesome! We rely on your support to keep React Flow developed and maintained under an MIT License, just how we like it. You can do that on the React Flow Pro website or through Github Sponsors.

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

npm install @xyflow/react

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 the full API reference.

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

import '@xyflow/react/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>
  );
}

export default Flow;

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.

Run pnpm build once and then you can use pnpm dev for local development.

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

pnpm test

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
