Grouping

Description

Group related nodes into larger containers, build nested structures, and manage responsive geometry in Angular with Foblex Flow. This is a core pattern for editors that need logical sections instead of a flat list of nodes.

Example

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

What this example shows

  • Create groups with fGroup and nest them inside each other.
  • Place nodes inside groups and build deeper structures when needed.
  • Use fIncludePadding, fAutoSizeToFitChildren, and fAutoExpandOnChildHit to control container geometry.
  • Route connections through groups that also expose their own inputs and outputs.

When to use it

  • Move several related nodes as one unit.
  • Visually separate subsections of a workflow or editor.
  • Auto-resize a container to fit its content.
  • Expand groups dynamically while users drag children toward the border.
