Simple Floating Edges

This example shows how to implement an edge type that dynamically connects to the closest handle.


<script lang="ts">
  import { writable } from 'svelte/store';
  import { SvelteFlow, Background, ConnectionMode, type Node, type Edge } from '@xyflow/svelte';
 
  import '@xyflow/svelte/dist/style.css';
 
  import { initialNodes, initialEdges } from './nodes-and-edges';
  import CustomNode from './CustomNode.svelte';
  import SimpleFloatingEdge from './SimpleFloatingEdge.svelte';
 
  const nodes = writable<Node[]>(initialNodes);
  const edges = writable<Edge[]>(initialEdges);
 
  const nodeTypes = {
    custom: CustomNode
  };
 
  const edgeTypes = {
    floating: SimpleFloatingEdge
  };
</script>
 
<div style="height:100vh;">
  <SvelteFlow {nodes} {nodeTypes} {edges} {edgeTypes} fitView connectionMode={ConnectionMode.Loose}>
    <Background />
  </SvelteFlow>
</div>
