What problem does it solve?
Provides a production-ready guide to implement a visual workflow editor that reliably converts user-edited graphs into a backend-compatible workflow definition, removing ambiguity and common frontend pitfalls when building drag-and-drop workflow UIs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Visual editor patterns and rules for consistent node and edge implementations that map directly to backend workflow models.
- Hooks, state management patterns, and conversion functions to turn React Flow state into graph_definition JSON accepted by the MAF backend.
- Custom node and edge examples, connection validation rules, auto-layout recommendations, and performance best practices for large enterprise workflows.
- Use case: frontend teams building a workflow editor that lets product owners compose agent sequences, conditional gateways, and parallel branches and then save/execute them via the platform API.
Quick Start
Open the workflow editor, drag Start/Agent/Gateway nodes, connect them into a valid flow, and save to export the graph_definition JSON required by the backend.
