Connector Outlet

Description

This example demonstrates how to use an outlet connector to control where connections leave a node. Outlet-based patterns are helpful when a node has multiple exit paths, multiple logical outputs, or a layout where edge routing needs a dedicated anchor.

In a real product, outlet connectors help keep graphs readable. Instead of attaching every edge to the same generic point, you can expose a clearer structure for branching, fan-out behavior, and more predictable routing.

This becomes important in workflow builders, automation editors, and low-code tools where users need to understand exactly how work moves from one step to the next.

Example

[example.html] <<< https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Foblex/f-flow/main/libs/f-examples/connectors/connector-outlet/example.html [example.ts] <<< https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Foblex/f-flow/main/libs/f-examples/connectors/connector-outlet/example.ts [example.scss] <<< https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Foblex/f-flow/main/libs/f-examples/connectors/connector-outlet/example.scss

What this solves

  • Cleaner fan-out from a single node.
  • More explicit exit points for branching logic.
  • Better readability when many edges leave the same step.

If your nodes represent actions, conditions, or service calls with multiple outcomes, outlet connectors are usually a better fit than a single shared port.
