A React Flow alternative with the Pro features built in

React Flow is an excellent library with the largest community in this space — if it fits, use it. Teams reach for Grafloria when the features they need next (undo, copy/paste, helper lines, collaboration, exports) turn out to live in the Pro subscription, or when the same canvas must also ship in Angular, Vue, or a plain web component.

When to stay with React Flow

You're all-in on React, you want the biggest ecosystem of examples and integrations, and you're happy assembling editor features yourself or paying for Pro (≈ $169–289/month) to get the closed-source examples and support. Its extensibility and accessibility are first-rate.

Why teams switch

	Grafloria	React Flow
License / price	MIT — everything, $0	MIT core; Pro subscription for undo, copy-paste, helper lines, collab examples + support
Frameworks	React · Angular · Vue · web component — one engine	React only
Edge routing	Obstacle-avoiding router built in — edges walk around nodes	Bezier/step edges; avoidance is DIY
Auto-layout	ELK, dagre, tree, force, grid — one call, ELK lazy-loaded	Bring your own (elkjs/dagre wiring is on you)
Undo / redo	Command-based, ⌘Z works with zero wiring	Pro example
Collaboration	Per-property CRDT in the engine; bring any transport	Pro example

The API will feel familiar

Deliberately React-Flow-shaped: nodes and edges as data, nodeTypes components for custom nodes, controlled or uncontrolled state.

import { GrafloriaFlow } from '@grafloria/react';

<div style={{ height: '100vh' }}>
  <GrafloriaFlow defaultNodes={nodes} defaultEdges={edges}
    nodeTypes={{ card: Card }} layout="elk" plugins />
</div>

Migration notes: position/data carry over as-is; handles become ports on the node spec (no <Handle> components); mark nodeTypes nodes custom: true. The React deep guides cover each mapping.
