onSelect prop for triggering selecting same node

See original GitHub issue

When a node is selected, I trigger an information sidebar using onSelectionChange to open with details about that node. There is a button to close that sidebar. If closed, ReactFlow still considers that node selected, so selecting the same node previously selected does not trigger onSelectionChange and therefore I cannot trigger the sidebar to reopen. It would be nice to have onSelect which triggers every time so that this type of action could be supported.

At the moment you can only use the internal setSelectedElements action mentioned in the comment by @sarasfive. When you press the close button you can reset the selection via setSelectedElements([]). After that the selection should work as expected again.

@pantchox Try to move the Provider one level up. I could imagine that your component isn’t wrapped.
