Hi @Shan

there is not a standalone library that renders flows - it's all baked into the heart of the editor.

It has been a long standing wish-list item to have such a library, but it isn't straightforward to achieve as each node defines a lot of its own appearance (colour, icon, label etc). So any standalone library would need to be able to look-up all of the right node definitions to get the appearance right.
