Implement a React Flow editor with drag-and-drop, minimap, zoom/pan, and node interaction features.

[c0rtexR]

Task Overview

Task Overview: Implement the React Flow editor that supports drag-and-drop interactions, zoom/pan, a minimap, and smooth node interactions as part of the data-river workflow editor. This will enable users to visually create and manage workflows in an intuitive, interactive way.

SMART Criteria

Specific 🎯:
Develop the core functionality of the React Flow editor, ensuring users can drag and drop nodes, connect them, and interact with the minimap. It must support smooth zoom and pan gestures and allow for seamless node interactions like clicking, dragging, and connecting.

Measurable 📏:
Success is measured by:

• Full functionality of drag-and-drop node creation and linking.
• Smooth zoom/pan control with minimap navigation.
• Successful interaction with nodes (clicking, dragging, connecting).
• Verified through user tests with at least 90% positive feedback on functionality and responsiveness.

Achievable 🚀:
This task is achievable by using React Flow’s built-in features for handling these interactions. We'll leverage React Flow's API to implement the core interactions and integrate them with the data-river platform.

Relevant 🎯:
This task is essential to the overall OKR as it forms the foundation for the user experience in the data-river platform, enabling users to intuitively build workflows.

Time-bound ⏳:
The task must be completed within 2 weeks to allow time for testing and feedback before proceeding with more complex features like node customization and theming.

Subtasks 📝

• Set up the initial React Flow configuration with minimap, zoom, and pan enabled. #25
• Implement drag-and-drop functionality for nodes. #26
• Ensure node connections work smoothly, with visual feedback during interactions. #27
• Integrate real-time feedback for user interactions (e.g., node highlighting). #28
• Conduct initial user testing to validate smoothness and responsiveness. #29

Acceptance Criteria ✅

• The editor supports smooth drag-and-drop of nodes.
• Zoom and pan functionality works without lag.
• Node interactions (clicking, dragging, connecting) are intuitive and responsive.
• User testing confirms at least 90% positive feedback on editor responsiveness and usability.

Additional Notes 🗒

Ensure the editor is optimized for tablet devices with responsive touch interactions, especially for drag-and-drop and zoom/pan features.
