Robot Components. Node Editor

A demo from dashrobotco's open-source Robot Components library. Click anywhere to add nodes, pull from the corner square to wire connections, and slice through lines to break them. Panels move with momentum; hold Shift to snap to grid, Cmd while dragging to scale from center, or Cmd on a corner to lock aspect ratio. Useful reference for tactile node UIs, agent workflows, and design systems that treat the canvas as a playground rather than a static diagram.

What's interesting

  • Interactive node canvas from the Robot Design System: spawn nodes on click, drag corner handles to connect, slice lines to cut links, with snap-to-grid and physics-backed panels.
  • A demo from dashrobotco's open-source Robot Components library.
  • Click anywhere to add nodes, pull from the corner square to wire connections, and slice through lines to break them.

Use in your project

  1. Decide which interaction you are porting before you fork.
  2. Clone the repo and trace how the effect is built.
  3. Adapt shaders and layout to your stack.
