React Flow lets you create interactive diagrams by defining typed nodes and edges, then wiring onNodesChange and onEdgesChange handlers with addEdge to manage state. Use @xyflow/react to render configurable nodes and edges with custom components.

Define custom node and edge components, manage multiple handles for source/target connections, and use handle placement to control connection points. React Flow's component system lets you render arbitrary content inside nodes while preserving flow state.

Use the useReactFlow hook to access fitView and setViewport methods for programmatic viewport control. These utilities let you pan, zoom, and auto-fit your flow to the visible area.

Yes. React Flow supports typed node and edge definitions with TypeScript, letting you define custom data structures for each node and edge type while maintaining full type safety across state management.

Load nodes and edges from your backend API, parse them into React Flow's format, and manage updates through state. useReactFlow hooks let you update the flow programmatically as data changes.

Handle placement and edge routing are constrained by React Flow's layout engine. Complex multi-handle scenarios may require custom edge path utilities or layout adjustments to avoid visual overlap and maintain readability.
