The Visual Editor

VibeFlow’s visual editor lets you build backend workflows by connecting nodes on a canvas. Right-click to add nodes, click to configure them, and connect them to implement your API endpoints.

​
Editor Layout

​
1. Flow Canvas (Center)

The main workspace where you build your backend visually:
  • Drag and drop nodes from the left sidebar
  • Connect nodes by their handles to define your logic
  • Right-click the canvas to open the context menu
  • Click any node to configure it

​
2. Node Palette (Left Sidebar)

A categorized list of all available nodes. Drag nodes from here onto the canvas to add them to your workflow.

​
3. AI Chat (Left, Collapsible)

Describe what you want to build in natural language and let AI generate or modify your workflow. You can collapse this panel when you don’t need it.

​
4. Tabbed Panel (Right)

A panel with multiple tabs for different tasks:
  • Code: View and edit the generated source code
  • Preview: Live preview of your running application with real-time updates
  • Additional tabs for configuration and testing

​
5. Top Bar

Access your project name, collaboration settings, and the Deploy button from the top of the editor.

​
Working with Nodes

​
Adding Nodes

1

Right-Click Canvas

Right-click anywhere on the canvas to open the context menu with available nodes.
2

Choose Your Node

Select the node you need from the categorized context menu.
3

Configure Settings

Click the newly added node to configure its settings in the properties panel.

​
Connecting Nodes

Nodes have connection handles that you use to implement your workflow. To connect nodes:
  1. Click and drag from a node’s output handle
  2. Drop on another node’s input handle
  3. The connection implements the workflow step

​
Node Configuration

Nodes have two states:
  • Valid: All required parameters are configured
  • Invalid: Missing required configuration (shown with error indicators)
Click any node to configure its settings in the properties panel.

​
Building Workflows

When you connect nodes, you’re implementing the logic flow for a workflow. For example: 
Frontend Element → Mutation → Return
This creates a workflow that:
  1. Triggers from a frontend interaction
  2. Executes database mutations
  3. Returns the response
Other workflows might start with a Webhook node (for external API calls) or a Cron node (for scheduled tasks).
