🎮 Quickstart

In Vue Flow, an application structure consists of nodes and edges, all of which are categorised as elements.

Each element requires a unique id.

Nodes additionally need an XY-position, while edges require a source and a target, both represented by node ids.

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

const nodes = ref([
  { id: '1', type: 'input', label: 'Node 1', position: { x: 250, y: 5 } },
  { id: '2', label: 'Node 2', position: { x: 100, y: 100 } },
  { id: '3', label: 'Node 3', position: { x: 400, y: 100 } },
  { id: '4', label: 'Node 4', position: { x: 400, y: 200 } },
])
  
const edges = ref([
  { id: 'e1-2', source: '1', target: '2', animated: true },
  { id: 'e1-3', source: '1', target: '3' },
])
</script>

<template>
  <VueFlow v-model:nodes="nodes" v-model:edges="edges"></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";

Do not scope these styles with scoped in your component.

🪴 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.
