useInternalNode

Source on GitHub

This hook returns the internal representation of a specific node. Components that use this hook will re-render whenever any node changes, including when a node is selected or moved.

import { useInternalNode } from '@xyflow/react';
 
export default function () {
  const internalNode = useInternalNode('node-1');
  const absolutePosition = internalNode.internals.positionAbsolute;
 
  return (
    <div>
      The absolute position of the node is at:
      <p>x: {absolutePosition.x}</p>
      <p>y: {absolutePosition.y}</p>
    </div>
  );
}
