SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires reactflow, dagre, lodash.

What problem does it solve? Building interactive node-edge graph applications in React often leads to performance bottlenecks, tangled state management, and layout chaos when handling large hierarchical datasets. This Skill provides proven patterns for creating production-grade ReactFlow applications that remain fast and maintainable. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Hierarchical Tree Navigation: Implement expandable/collapsible node trees with incremental rendering that only builds visible nodes and edges. - Performance Optimization: Apply memoization, incremental rendering, debounced Dagre auto-layout, and a graph performance analyzer to keep large graphs responsive. - Advanced State Management: Use reducer patterns with undo/redo history, focus mode, and search-based navigation for complex graph interactions. - Use Case: Imagine building an organizational chart or process flow diagram with thousands of nodes. Use this Skill to implement lazy expansion, automatic Dagre layout, and focus mode so users can navigate the hierarchy without lag. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to create a ReactFlow graph component with expandable hierarchical nodes, Dagre auto-layout, and memoized node rendering.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a collapsible tree graph with ReactFlow?

Build a collapsible tree by tracking expanded node IDs in a Set and computing visible nodes recursively from root nodes. Only children of expanded nodes are added to the visible node and edge maps, keeping the rendered graph small.

How to add automatic layout to ReactFlow with Dagre?

Add Dagre auto-layout by creating a dagre graph, registering each node with width and height, adding edges, then calling dagre.layout. Map the computed coordinates back onto node positions, and debounce the calculation to avoid layout thrashing.

Why is my ReactFlow graph slow with many nodes?

ReactFlow slows down when rendering hundreds of nodes without memoization or virtualization. Wrap node components in React.memo with custom comparison, memoize styled edges with useMemo, and use incremental rendering to only update changed subtrees.

How do I implement undo and redo in a ReactFlow graph?

Implement undo/redo by storing graph state snapshots in a history array with a history index in a reducer. Dispatch save actions on mutations and restore previous entries by moving the index backward or forward.

When should I use incremental rendering in ReactFlow?

Use incremental rendering when graphs exceed a few hundred nodes or when expand/collapse interactions cause lag. It reuses cached visible nodes and only rebuilds affected subtrees instead of recomputing the entire graph on every state change.
