Solid Flow
SolidJS Port of React/Svelte Flow
Overview
Solid Flow brings an exciting integration of graph-based UI capabilities to the SolidJS ecosystem, taking inspiration from React Flow and Svelte Flow. While currently in alpha development, it aims to provide developers with a powerful and intuitive tool for building interactive graphs and flow diagrams. The framework emphasizes flexibility, speed, and a rich plugin ecosystem, which makes it an appealing choice for anyone looking to enhance their applications with complex data visualizations.
As the project evolves, Solid Flow continues to add features that closely mimic the established functionalities of its predecessors while innovating for the unique aspects of SolidJS. This combination of user-friendly design and robust features makes Solid Flow a go-to for developers keen on harnessing the power of visual data representation.
Features
- Easy to Use: Offers seamless zooming and panning, along with support for single and multi-selection of graph elements and keyboard shortcuts.
- Customizable: Supports various node and edge types, allowing the creation of custom nodes and edges to fit specific project requirements.
- Fast Rendering: Leverages SolidJS's fine-grained reactivity; only updated nodes are re-rendered, ensuring efficient performance.
- Rich Plugin Ecosystem: Includes components for interactive mini-maps, custom backgrounds, zoom controls, toolbars, and node resizing to enhance user experience.
- Powerful Hooks: A wide range of reactive hooks for managing nodes, edges, viewport, connections, and overall data management.
- Full Accessibility: Designed with accessibility in mind, featuring comprehensive keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and ARIA labeling.
- Drag & Drop: Built-in support for dragging nodes and external drag-and-drop interactions, which enhances interactivity and usability.
- TypeScript First: A fully typed API that includes generic type support and IntelliSense integration, making development more efficient and error-free.
- Solid
SolidJS is a declarative JavaScript library for building user interfaces, offering a reactive programming model for efficient updates. It stands out for its reactivity system that minimizes unnecessary re-renders and its small bundle size, making it a performant choice for developing lightweight and reactive web applications.
- Vite
Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
