Floating Edges

This is an example implementation for floating edges. The source and target position of the edges are getting calculated dynamically. You can find the implementation details in the utils.js file.

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

import FloatingEdge from './FloatingEdge';
import FloatingConnectionLine from './FloatingConnectionLine';
import { initialElements } from './initialElements';
 
const { nodes: initialNodes, edges: initialEdges } = initialElements();
 
const edgeTypes = {
  floating: FloatingEdge,
};
 
const NodeAsHandleFlow = () => {
  const [nodes, , onNodesChange] = useNodesState(initialNodes);
  const [edges, setEdges, onEdgesChange] = useEdgesState(initialEdges);
  const onConnect = useCallback(
    (params) =>
      setEdges((eds) =>
        addEdge(
          {
            ...params,
            type: 'floating',
            markerEnd: { type: MarkerType.Arrow },
          },
          eds,
        ),
      ),
    [setEdges],
  );
 
  return (
    <div className="floating-edges">
      <ReactFlow
