Nesting parent dynamic size fit to children

[AlexanderYW]

Hi,

Is it possible to have parent shrink og expand to the size of the children's inside it and their positions?

So when ever a user is moving a child, parent either expand or decrease in size

[bcakmakoglu]

It is possible to expand the parent (using the expandParent property on your child node)

const nodes = ref([
	  {
		  id: '1',
		  label: 'Node 1',
		  position: { x: 0, y: 0 }
	  },
	  {
		  id: '1a',
		  label: 'Node 1a',
		  position: { x: 0, y: 0 },
		  expandParent: true
	  }
])

Currently it is not possible, using a built-in mechanism, to collapse the same parent again.
That's something you would have to implement yourself (might be a feature in a future release but there's no plans yet).

[AlexanderYW]

Yes i could read about the expand parent, was just hoping there was something to shrink it again

Is there somewhere I could request this feature or this discussion enough? :)

[bcakmakoglu]

If you could open a new discussion requesting that specific feature, that would be great :)
There is actually the same request for react-flow so it seems like a wanted feature but currently I am prioritizing getting Vue Flow fully tested and released as 1.0.0 😅

still this feature not out? lib dead?

[bcakmakoglu]

No this feature simply has 0 priority.
If you want it, feel free to implement it and suggest an example for the docs or open a PR but it’s not going to land anytime soon since VueFlow 2.0 is priority atm and already is overdue.
As the sole maintainer of VueFlow my time is limited since I also work a regular job and have a private life as well.

Thx for the comment, I'll try to find a way to do this properly and create a PR
