Svelte Flow 0.1.5 & 0.1.4
While adding some last minute features to the new React Flow release we also ported them to Svelte Flow and fixed some issues along the way. This includes making selectable, deletable, draggable and parentId available as props for custom nodes, fixing panel elements standing in the way of making selection boxes and fixing zoom behaviour on mobile.
0.1.5
- prevent zooming on mobile if zoomOnPinch is false
- add
StraightEdgeto built-in path types - abort drag when multiple touches are detected
- fix merge_styles error
0.1.4
- add
selectable,deletableanddraggableto node and edge props - add
parentIdto node props - add
on:edgemouseenterandon:edgemouseleaveevent handler - fix deselection of edges
- remove pointer events from panel when user selection is active
- fix viewport initialization with user viewport
- fix parent node lookup in
evaluateAbsolutePosition- thanks @lcsfort

Svelte Flow 0.1.0
This is a bigger update for Svelte Flow to keep up with the latest changes we made for React Flow and the Svelte5 rewrite. The biggest change is the separation of user nodes (type Node) and internal nodes (type InternalNode), which includes a renaming of the node.computed attribute to node.measured. In the previous versions, we stored internals in node[internalsSymbol]. This doesn’t exist anymore, but we only add it to our internal nodes in node.internals..
⚠️ Breaking
- rename
node.computedtonode.measured- this attribute only includeswidthandheightand nopositionAbsoluteanymore. For receiving an internal node, we added the helpersuseInternalNodeandgetInternalNode - rename
node.parentNodetonode.parentId
More updates:
- add
isValidConnectionfor<Handle />component - add
fitViewOptionsfor<Controls />component - add
getInternalNodetouseSvelteFlow - add
useInternalNodehook - don’t reset nodes and edges when svelte flow unmounts
- fix node event types
- make handleId and isTarget reactive
- fix MiniMap interaction for touch devices
- fix pane: pinch zoom on Windows
0.1.1
- fix
useInternalNodehook export
0.1.2
- fix
InternalNodetype export
0.1.3
- fix
NodeToolbarfor subflows

Future of Svelte Flow
While we have been hard at work on React Flow 12, listening to your feedback and bug reports and Svelte 5 slowly peeking over the horizon, we wanted to share some of our plans for the library.
Aligning internals
We redesigned a lot of the internal update logic in React Flow 12 and wanted to bring some of that to Svelte Flow. As both libraries already share a substantial core, extending it to include this last missing piece will improve maintainability a great deal. We are planning to release this update in the following weeks alongside a couple of other improvements.
Svelte 5
We have been closely following the development of the upcoming Svelte version since its announcement last September, and we are quite excited about it! A lot of the new features will simplify our lives as library maintainers (looking at you, fallback values for props) and because we want to keep the library as svelty as possible, there will be some breaking changes. However, we don’t want all the amazing projects you already built to break, so this update will mark a major version bump for Svelte Flow, namely ✨1.0.0-rc ✨.
You can expect some bug fixes for 0.x.x, but it being a pre-release version, we will move on to Svelte 5 as our main focus.
New features
After the transition, we will be able to develop new features for React & Svelte Flow in tandem, so keep your eyes peeled for some exciting new stuff coming your way!
Thanks to everyone who has been supporting the development so far by trying everything out and getting their hands dirty! We look forward to the future of Svelte Flow! 🚀

NodeResizer - 0.0.32 release
With the latest release, we added the <NodeResizer /> component to the @xyflow/svelte package. Check out the Node Resizer example to see it in action.
You can find the changelog with all previous changes on Github .

New Release 0.0.29
Another huge update for Svelte Flow 🙏 Creating data flows will be way easier with the new hooks and functions. You can now subscribe to connected nodes, receive data and update nodes more easily. We fix a big issue about the <Handle /> component. No more on:connect that only worked for target <Handle /> components but onconnect and ondisconnect that works for every <Handle />.
Check this Computing Flows example to see the new helpers in action.
New Features
- add
useHandleConnectionshook for receiving connected node and handle ids for a specific handle - add
useNodesData(ids: string | string[])hook for receiving data from other nodes - new
updateNodeandupdateNodeDataforuseSvelteFlowto update a node or the data object - add
onedgecreatefunction for passing a certain id or other attributes to a newly created edge
Breaking
- replace
on:connect,on:connectstartandon:connectendwithonconnect,onconnectstartandonconnectend, no need to forwardon:connect..anymore
Fixes and minor changes
onconnectandondisconnectcallback work for<Handle />component- don’t delete a node when user presses Backspace inside an input/textarea/.nokey element
bgColorprop for Background didn’t work- prefix css vars with “xy-”
- don’t update nodes and edges on pane click if not necessary
- cleaner types for exported edges
- fix
getIntersectingNodesbug when passingRect

New release 0.0.28
This is a huge update! We added a new <NodeToolbar /> component and a new colorMode (‘light’ | ‘dark’ | ‘system’) prop for toggling dark/light mode. Check out the new dark mode example.
There are some breaking changes again (sorry!) but we are very close to the final API for Svelte Flow 1.0.0. The biggest change is that we group node attriubutes (width, height, positionAbsolute) that are added by the library under node.computed. This makes it easier to understand, that this stuff comes from the library itself. node.width and node.height is still an optional node option and can be used to set certain dimensions for SSR or on the client.
- add
<NodeToolbar />component - add colorMode prop (‘light’ | ‘dark’ | ‘system’) - [Dark mode example]
- add
on:selectionclickandon:selectioncontextmenuevent handlers - add
ondelete({ nodes, edges })handler - add
zoomActivationKeyprop - add
widthandheightprop to customNodePropstype - add
colorModeprop (‘light’ | ‘dark’ | ‘system’) - ⚠️ replace
xPosandyPoswithpositionAbsoluteprop to customNodePropstype - ⚠️
node.width/heightandnode.positionAbsolutecan now be found undernode.computed.width/height/positionAbsolute - ⚠️
node.width/heightis still optional an can be used for forcing certain dimensions and SSR - refactor keys: you can now disable keys by setting them to
null(e.g.selectionKey={null}) - performance optimization with internal node lookup

New release 0.0.27
We just released Svelte Flow 0.0.27 with some breaking changes. Even if we try to avoid them, they will happen. We just renamed some functions, so the migration should go easy. Here is a list of all changes:
- ⚠️ rename
screenToFlowCoordinatetoscreenToFlowPosition - ⚠️ rename
flowToScreenCoordinatetoflowToScreenPosition - ⚠️ rename
getTransformForBoundstogetViewportForBounds(return{ x: number, y: number, zoom: number }instead of[number, number, number]) - ⚠️ rename
getRectOfNodestogetNodesBounds - simplify handle default styles, so that it’s easier to override them
- add
selectionOnDragprop - can be used to create figma-like controls in combination withpanOnDrag={false}/panOnDrag={[1, 2]}+panOnScroll={true} - 🎉 add e2e tests
