Classic preset. Uses ClassicFlow for managing connections by user
setup(): () => ClassicFlow<ClassicScheme, any[]>
Returns () => ClassicFlow<ClassicScheme, any[]>
Bidirect flow. User can pick a socket and connect it by releasing mouse button. More simple than classic flow, but less functional (can't remove connection by clicking on input socket).
class BidirectFlow<Schemes extends ClassicScheme, K extends any[]>
| Parameter | Extends | Description | 
|---|---|---|

| K | any[] | 
Implements StateContext<Schemes, K>, Flow<Schemes, K>
Classic flow. User can pick/click a socket and connect it by releasing/clicking on another socket. If connection already exists and user clicks on input socket, connection will be removed.
class ClassicFlow<Schemes extends ClassicScheme, K extends any[]>
