Connection Line

A Connection Line is the edge that appears when you click on a handle and drag. It represents a possible edge and can snap to other valid handles in close proximity. You can implement your own Connection Line by passing a snippet to the connectionLine prop. We do not pass any additional props to the snippet as the useConnection hook gives you access to the current connection.

<script lang="ts">
  import {
    SvelteFlow,
    Background,
    type Edge,
    type Node,
    MiniMap,
  } from '@xyflow/svelte';
 
  import CustomNode from './CustomNode.svelte';
  import ConnectionLine from './ConnectionLine.svelte';
 
  import '@xyflow/svelte/dist/style.css';
 
  const nodeTypes = {
    custom: CustomNode,
  };
 
  let nodes = $state.raw<Node[]>([
    {
      id: 'connectionline-1',
      type: 'custom',
      data: { label: 'Node 1' },
      position: { x: 250, y: 5 },
    },
  ]);
 
  let edges = $state.raw<Edge[]>([]);
</script>
