Custom nodes = custom component

[nimbit-software]

Hi guys,

first of all nice job on the editor. I am looking forward to using its in all sorts of projects.

We are currently looking into using this for a pipeline where we would need to create a number of custom nodes some and/or nodes even some state notes to hold the state of the previous data passed through. I realize that the custom nodes is still new and i am more then willing to help with development/documention of thoese nodes since we plan to be using them as well as making our nodes available (if you are interested).

Currently im trying to define a new node and i saw the render node function and assumed it is used to render something like a react flow custom node.

  createJdmNode({
            kind: "pingNode",
            icon: <PlayCircle size={50} />,
            color: "red",
            displayName: "Ping",
            group: "ping",
            shortDescription: "Used for ping",
            handleLeft: true,
            handleRight: true,
            renderNode: ({data,id,selected,specification}) => {
              return  <>
          <Handle
                type="target"
                position={Position.Left}
                style={{ background: '#555' }}
                onConnect={(params) => console.log('handle onConnect', params)}
                isConnectable={true}
              />
              <div className="w-[250px] h-[250px] border-amber-400 border bg-white text-black">
               <span> Custom Color Picker Node: <strong>{data?.color}</strong></span>

              <input className="nodrag" type="color" onChange={data?.onChange} defaultValue={data?.color} />
              </div>
            </>
            }  
          }),

However when i do i get an error

Error: [React Flow]: Seems like you have not used zustand provider as an ancestor. Help: https://reactflow.dev/error#001

Is there a ways to render my own component as a custom node OR can i create a custom editor like the table/expression editor and have it used by the node? that would already solve most of my use cases.

thanks in advance.

This issue seems to be caused by multiple versions of reactflow and/or zustand. The issue is detailed here: https://reactflow.dev/error#001. You may also use dedupe functionality inside vite, or resolve.alias inside webpack. Some package managers such as pnpm also allow for overrides: https://pnpm.io/package_json#pnpmoverrides.

I know this is an old issue, but I ran into the same problem. For anyone else who comes across this, just use the same version of reactflow that jdm-editor is using. At this time it is "reactflow": "11.11.4".
