Floating Edges

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


<script lang="ts">
  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';
 
  let nodes = $state.raw<Node[]>(initialNodes);
  let edges = $state.raw<Edge[]>(initialEdges);
 
  const nodeTypes = {
    custom: CustomNode,
  };
 
  const edgeTypes = {
    floating: SimpleFloatingEdge,
  };
</script>
 
<SvelteFlow
  bind:nodes
  {nodeTypes}
  bind:edges
  {edgeTypes}
  fitView
  connectionMode={ConnectionMode.Loose}
>
  <Background />
</SvelteFlow>
