Help in Positioning (Deprecated)

Description

⚠️ Deprecated: this example shows an older approach to node positioning helpers in Foblex Flow for Angular.
It is kept for reference and backward compatibility, but it is not recommended for new projects.

For the current and improved UX, use:

What this legacy example demonstrates

  • Basic “help while dragging” behavior for aligning nodes
  • A minimal setup inside <f-flow> (legacy implementation)

If you are building a modern node editor, prefer Magnetic Lines + Magnetic Rects instead.
