Would resolve #118.

@Eliav2 with v3 being abandoned (for now at least), and for how little time this would take to merge + release, could we please get this in as a 2.x.x release? Would be very much appreciated!

Sorry can't merge it for now because can't test it without setting up an proper environment.
What is the reason you still using this lib in 2024? Seriously, there is no better alternative this day?

@Eliav2 I had a good look around when I introduced your lib to my work's codebase, and couldn't find anything as good that satisfied these points:

  • Ref based connections - a lot of other libs are id or class based, which isn't as ergonomic when we're wanting to render lines dynamically.
  • Grid based connections.
  • Something simple - we just use it to connect static elements in a UI (as well as moving things along these paths sometimes), we don't need or want all that comes with react-flow.

I had a look around again this weekend after I saw the deprecation notice, and still couldn't find anything that was as elegant. Today I tried implementing something custom within our codebase, but struggled with positioning, re-rendering, etc. I also tried patching your lib via yarn patch to peform the changes in this PR, but ran into problems due to the library being published to NPM already built via webpack.

I appreciate that it's a niche case!
