🎯 [Flutter Port] Complete Dart/Flutter Port of xyflow - Master Tracking Issue

Overview

This is the master tracking issue for creating a complete Dart/Flutter port of xyflow with 100% feature parity.

Project Scope

Port the entire xyflow library (~17,820 lines of TypeScript) to Dart/Flutter, including:

@xyflow/system → xyflow_core (framework-agnostic logic)
@xyflow/react → xyflow_flutter (Flutter widgets and state management)

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_test:
    sdk: flutter
  integration_test:
    sdk: flutter
  golden_toolkit: ^0.15.0  # Visual regression tests

Testing Strategy

Unit Tests - Core logic, path calculations, state management ✅
Widget Tests - Component rendering, interactions (in progress)
Integration Tests - Full flow scenarios
Golden Tests - Visual regression for edge paths, layouts

Progress

Current Status: 🟢 Compiles & Tests Pass

Latest Update (Dec 26, 2025):

✅ All compile errors fixed
✅ 62 tests passing
✅ Connection line widget added for drag visualization
✅ Example app runs successfully
🔄 Adding more widget tests

Files Implemented:

Core Types: 7 files (position, viewport, rect, node, edge, handle, connection, changes, marker)
State: 3 files (xyflow_state, xyflow_controller, xyflow_provider)
Widgets: 14 files (xyflow, handle, background, controls, minimap, panel, node_toolbar, node_resizer, connection_line)
Node Widgets: 4 files (default_node, input_node, output_node, group_node)
Edge Widgets: 5 files (base_edge, bezier_edge, smooth_step_edge, step_edge, straight_edge)
Edge Utilities: 6 files (bezier, smooth_step, step, straight, simple_bezier, edge_path)

This port aims for 100% feature parity with the React version of xyflow.
