🛠 Setup

$ npm i @vue-flow/core

# or
$ yarn add @vue-flow/core

🎮 Quickstart

A flow consists of nodes and edges (or just nodes). Together they are called elements.

Each element needs a unique id.

A node also needs an XY position. An edge needs a source (node id) and a target (node id).

A basic setup looks like this:

<!-- Flowchart.vue -->
<script setup>
import { VueFlow } from '@vue-flow/core'

const elements = ref([
  {
    id: '1',
    label: 'node 1',
    position: { x: 100, y: 100 },
  },
  {
    id: '2',
    label: 'node 2',
    position: { x: 100, y: 200 },
  },
  {
    id: 'e1-2',
    target: '2',
    source: '1',
  },
])
</script>

<template>
  <VueFlow v-model="elements"></VueFlow>
</template>

⚠️ Make sure to import the necessary styles:

/* import the required styles */
@import "@vue-flow/core/dist/style.css";

/* import the default theme (optional) */
@import "@vue-flow/core/dist/theme-default.css";

🪴 Vue 2

This library doesn't work with Vue 2.

Vue Flow uses features that are exclusive to Vue 3, therefore there is no support for Vue 2, nor will there be any support in the future, sorry.

🧪 Development

Prerequisites

# skip if you already have pnpm installed
$ npm i -g pnpm

# start examples

🐳 Dev Container

To start using development containers, install the Docker extension for VSCode. After installing the extension, open the connection menu either on the bottom left or open it via the commands tab. Select the Open Folder in Container option to mount the project.

The development container will spin up all packages example apps and forward the ports to your machine.
