Updating Nodes
You can update properties of nodes and edges freely as long as you pass a newly created nodes
or edges
array to ReactFlow
.
You have to create a new data
object on a node to notify React Flow about
data changes.
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';

];
const initialEdges = [{ id: 'e1-2', source: '1', target: '2' }];
const defaultViewport = { x: 0, y: 0, zoom: 1.5 };
const UpdateNode = () => {
const [nodes, setNodes, onNodesChange] = useNodesState(initialNodes);
const [edges, setEdges, onEdgesChange] = useEdgesState(initialEdges);
