getStraightPath()

Calculates the straight line path between two points.


import { getStraightPath } from '@xyflow/react';
 
const source = { x: 0, y: 20 };
const target = { x: 150, y: 100 };
 
const [path, labelX, labelY, offsetX, offsetY] = getStraightPath({
  sourceX: source.x,
  sourceY: source.y,
  targetX: target.x,
  targetY: target.y,
});
 
console.log(path); //=> "M 0,20L 150,100"
console.log(labelX, labelY); //=> 75, 60
console.log(offsetX, offsetY); //=> 75, 40

Notes

This function returns a tuple (aka a fixed-size array) to make it easier to work with multiple edge paths at once.
