Rotating connection

[MaiaLucas]

Description

Behaviour:

When I've tried to connect a node from the left to right the connection with fType equals to segment the fMarker(end) is always facing down.

Expected:

I would have a usecase where the marker of a connection when the connectionType is segment should be possible to be rotated when it's near a node, similar to snap connection with the same type.

Use Case example

• Blue arrow -> snap connection
• Grey arrow -> create connection

Hello. The best I can do is give you a parameter to fConnectionForCreate which you could pass top, bottom, right or left!
Is it ok for you?

But is there any chance to the connection detect where it'll be connected? Like if I drag the connection near to an input connector on the right, the arrow turn to left and vice versa.

Because similar behaviour already exists in the snap connection.

Yes. OK. I'll think about it

OK. I'll update the library tomorrow or Friday. Here is an example of work

Great! Will it work with the reassign connection too?

I also need this improvement. Thank you!

@anderson-896 @MaiaLucas I updated the library. The functionality you need is available in version 17.0.7. I also have a favor to ask of you. Could you check if you have the same problems as described here? #108

@siarheihuzarevich I was able to reproduce here https://stackblitz.com/edit/stackblitz-starters-ykgm76ue?file=src%2Fmain.ts
for so you need to:
1 - Move any node and release the mouse;
2 - Immediately after release the mouse (should be fast) drag on the flow background (to change the flow position)

Expected behaviour:
2 - The flow moves along drag Immediately;

Current behaviour:
2 - The flow delays starting moving.
