Alternatively, developers can establish connections by dragging a source socket and aligning it with a target socket of another node, simplifying the integration process within the workflow.

Moreover, ION provides the capability to insert a new node between existing ones by seamlessly manipulating the connection line.

These adaptable connectivity options empower developers to efficiently organize and optimize their workflows, thereby enhancing productivity and streamlining development processes.

This action automatically creates and connects the new node, streamlining the workflow process.

Connecting a node using the source socket

To connect a node using the source socket, simply click and drag from the source socket of one node to the target socket of another node.This action establishes a connection between the two nodes, allowing signals to flow between them.

Connecting a node between two nodes

In ION, facilitating the addition of a node between two existing nodes is straightforward.By clicking on the plus icon situated within the connection between the two nodes.developers can effortlessly insert a new node into their workflow without any hassle.
