Current behavior
We use reaflow in our codebase and want the ability to easily export a diagram/visualization to various image formats (e.g. jpg, png, svg). To my knowledge, there's no current built-in support for this in reaflow.
I've tried using html2canvas, html-to-image, and dom-to-image to export an image from the containerRef in a CanvasRef but they all resulted in empty images or errors.
I've also tried exporting the SVG directly using the svgRef but run into an xlink error:
Expected behavior
It would be amazing if there were helper functions that we can call for exporting the diagram in the basic image formats: jpg, png, and svg.
What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
Our users want the ability to export the reaflow diagram/visualization for easy sharing with others. I wasn't able to get the image export behavior working with common frontend libraries and suspect that it might be a much easier fix within reaflow than finding workarounds.
