Overview

Building a node editor or visual workflow tool from scratch means handling nodes, connections, rendering and graph execution all at once. Rete.js is a JavaScript framework that covers these parts, so developers can focus on the logic of their own application. It provides ready-made solutions for visualizing graphs with various rendering libraries and frameworks, along with processing engines based on dataflow and control flow approaches. The Rete Kit command-line tool can scaffold a new project with React.js, Vue.js, Angular or Svelte and a chosen set of features. Rete.js is released under the MIT license and suits developers who need a visual programming interface in a web application, such as a low-code builder, shader or automation editor. It is used as a library inside an existing front-end project. Documentation, guides and examples are available on the official website.
