# React Diagram Flowchart

## Overview

React flowchart is a visual representation of a process in which each step in the process is represented by a different shape and contains a short description of the process step. The Syncfusion React Diagram component offers various feature sets to build flowcharts with ease.

## Flowchart shapes

The Syncfusion React Diagram component provides the shapes required to build a flowchart diagram as ready-made objects, making it is easy to add them in a diagram surface in a single call.

## Connector arrows

Arrows (or connectors) represent the relationship or direction of flow between two flowchart shapes.

### Arrow types
Straight, orthogonal, and curved connector types are provided. You can choose any of these based on the relationship between the connected shapes.

* [Connector documentation](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/react/documentation/diagram/connectors)

### Arrowheads
The Syncfusion React Diagram component provides predefined arrowheads to illustrate flow direction in a flowchart diagram. You can also build your own custom arrowheads.

## Annotations

You can add descriptions to the flowchart shapes and connectors using annotations, and modify descriptions by pressing F2 or double-clicking them.

## Connection points (ports)
Connect to specific places on a shape through different types of ports or connecting points.

* [Port example](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/react/demos/#/bootstrap5/diagram/port)
* [Port documentation](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/react/documentation/diagram/ports)

## Interactive features

Use interactive features to improve the editing experience of a flowchart diagram at runtime. You can easily edit a diagram with mouse, touchscreen, or keyboard interfaces.

### Select, drag, resize, rotate
Objects can be selected and then dragged, resized, or rotated.

### Snap
Precisely align shapes, connectors, and annotations easily while dragging just by snapping to the nearest grid lines or objects.

![Undo and redo the recent changes using history manager feature in React Flowchart Diagram component](https://ft.syncfusion.com/featuretour/diagram-sdk/images/react-diagram/react-diagram-undo-redo.webp)
### Undo and redo
Don’t worry when you edit by mistake—undo and redo commands help to easily correct recent changes.

## Serialization

Save your diagram state in JSON format and load it back later for editing using the serializer.

## Exporting and printing

You can easily export flowchart diagrams to different image formats such as PNG, JPEG, BMP, and SVG. Flowcharts can be printed from the browser.
