Adds gridRadius, which rounds the corners of a path="grid" arrow. Closes the // gridRadius //todo that has sat next to gridBreak since v2.

<Xarrow start="a" end="b" path="grid" gridRadius />      {/* radius = strokeWidth * 2 */}
<Xarrow start="a" end="b" path="grid" gridRadius={12} /> {/* radius in pixels    */}

Default is false, so every existing grid arrow renders exactly as it does in 2.1.0.

Based on the approach in #178 by @andreac92. Closes #43.

Preview

Netlify deploy previews now build Storybook and nest it under the demo, matching the layout deploy-demo.yml already publishes to Pages. The demo also links to Storybook, since a subpath nobody links to is a subpath nobody finds.

Three stories under gridRadius, at <deploy-preview-url>/storybook/:

  • square vs rounded — identical arrows side by side, one with the prop and one without.
  • radius larger than arrow — four arrows all asking for gridRadius={40} with the boxes progressively closer. Corners should tighten and stay smooth; nothing should kink or double back.
  • playground — draggable boxes with live gridRadius, strokeWidth and gridBreak controls.

Both bases were built and checked: /storybook/ on Netlify, /react-xarrows/storybook/ on Pages. The demo link resolves correctly under each, and Storybook's own asset URLs follow.

Why gridRadius and not roundedCorners

It is a no-op for path="smooth" and path="straight", so it belongs to the same prop family as gridBreak and the grid prefix says so. A radius also wants a number as its primary type; boolean | number is there so bare gridRadius works in JSX.

Implementation notes

The corner math is a pure polylinePath helper in src/Xarrow/utils/index.ts, so it is testable without a DOM.

It is vector based rather than special cased per corner orientation. That is deliberate: the grid control points are axis aligned only by arithmetic coincidence — the head offset applied to cpx1/cpx2 cancels the shift applied to x2 — so comparing coordinates for equality would rest on two independently computed floats matching exactly, and would break outright for anyone using the _cpx1Offset escape hatches.

Two failure modes it handles that a fixed offset does not:

  • The radius is capped at half the shorter adjacent segment. Without this, an arrow shorter than twice the radius emits a point behind the previous one and the line visibly folds back on itself.
  • Repeated points are collapsed first. The hv and vh grid paths put the second control point on top of the end point, and gridBreak="0%" puts the first on top of the start. Left in place they are zero length segments that make the corner math divide by zero.

Rounding only ever pulls the path inward, staying inside the triangle formed by the corner and its two trim points, so the SVG canvas sizing in GetPosition needed no changes.

Corners are quadratics with the control point at the corner, not true circular arcs. For the 90° corners a grid path produces the difference is sub-pixel, and it avoids computing arc sweep flags.

Tests

13 new tests. 65 pass in the library suite, 3 in the demo suite.

  • __test__/polylinePath.test.ts — the geometry: radius clamping (asserts x never decreases, which is the case Add roundedCorners prop #178 got wrong), inward-only curves, collapsed duplicate points, non-axis-aligned corners, degenerate input, no NaN.
  • __test__/gridRadius.test.tsx — the wiring from prop to rendered d, with getBoundingClientRect stubbed so the arrow gets real coordinates. jsdom otherwise reports every box as zero sized at the origin, which collapses the path to nothing.
  • examples/src/__tests__/storybook-link.test.tsx — the demo's Storybook link. It is the only route into Storybook from the demo and nothing else would fail if a refactor dropped it.

Not included

No version bump — that is a separate release step.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added gridRadius support for grid-path arrows, enabling square or rounded corners.
    • Supports numeric radius values or automatic rounding based on stroke width, with sensible limits for short segments.
    • Added interactive examples demonstrating corner styles, constrained radii, and adjustable settings.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the API reference, usage guidance, and changelog with gridRadius behavior and defaults.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Storybook links and deployment paths across local and hosted environments.

Rounds the corners of a path="grid" arrow. `gridRadius` uses strokeWidth * 2,
`gridRadius={12}` takes a radius in pixels, and the default `false` keeps the
square corners 2.1.0 draws. Closes the `// gridRadius //todo` that has sat next
to gridBreak since v2.

Named gridRadius rather than roundedCorners: it only applies to path="grid", so
it belongs to the same prop family as gridBreak, and a radius wants a number as
its primary type.

The corner math lives in a pure polylinePath helper so it can be tested without
a DOM. It is vector based rather than special cased per corner orientation. The
grid control points are axis aligned only by arithmetic coincidence, since the
head offset applied to cpx1/cpx2 cancels the shift applied to x2, so comparing
coordinates for equality would rest on two independently computed floats
matching exactly and would break for anyone using the _cpx1Offset escape
hatches.

Two failure modes the helper handles that a fixed offset does not:

- the radius is capped at half the shorter adjacent segment, so an arrow shorter
  than twice the radius rounds as much as it can instead of emitting a point
  behind the previous one and folding back on itself.
- repeated points are collapsed first. The hv and vh grid paths put the second
  control point on top of the end point, and gridBreak="0%" puts the first on
  top of the start; left in place they are zero length segments that make the
  corner math divide by zero.

Netlify deploy previews now build Storybook and nest it under the demo, matching
the layout deploy-demo.yml publishes to Pages, so a preview can actually show
the story. The Storybook base moves out of the GITHUB_PAGES branch since it is
nested in both places, only under a different prefix.

Based on the approach in #178 by @andreac92.

Closes #43

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds the gridRadius property for rounded grid-path corners. It adds bounded polyline geometry, tests, documentation, Storybook examples, and deployment configuration.

Changes

Grid-radius feature

Layer / File(s) Summary
Grid-radius property contract
src/types.ts, src/Xarrow/useXarrowProps.ts
gridRadius accepts boolean or number, preserves supplied values, and defaults to false.
Rounded polyline geometry
src/Xarrow/utils/index.ts, src/Xarrow/utils/GetPosition.tsx
Grid paths use polylinePath to create quadratic-rounded corners. The radius is bounded by adjacent segment lengths.
Geometry and rendering validation
__test__/polylinePath.test.ts, __test__/gridRadius.test.tsx
Tests cover radius forms, clamping, duplicate points, degenerate inputs, grid paths, and non-grid paths.
Examples and delivery updates
README.md, CHANGELOG.md, examples/src/stories/XarrowGridRadius.stories.tsx, examples/.storybook/main.ts, examples/src/ExamplePage.jsx, examples/src/__tests__/storybook-link.test.tsx, netlify.toml
Documentation, Storybook, and the example-page link expose gridRadius. Netlify builds and publishes Storybook output.

Storybook is published as a subpath of the demo on both Pages and Netlify, so
the demo is the only place a visitor would find it from. BASE_URL covers both
bases; the dev server is the exception, since `pnpm storybook` runs it as its
own server on 6006.
