Multiple flows support

[lordrip]

Context

Hi, I'm starting this discussion to show the current status of the multiple flows support, this feature it's still is a work in progress but I think that it might be helpful to document the progress here 😃

How to get the changes

The initial bit of functionality it's added in the following pull request: (#1749), once it's merged it will be available in the nightly environment (or if you like bleeding edge, feel free to download the branch and try it out yourself 🤩).

How to enable the multiple flows support

1. Got to the 3 dots menu and click on Settings
   

2. Once in the Settings modal, find at the bottom the Enable experimental support for multiple flows toggle
   

3. Click on it to enable it and hit Save
   

4. Once the configuration has been changed, you'll notice that now there are 2 routes in the canvas. From this point, the previous functionality should work the same as before, except that now we could display 2 routes instead.
   

Limitations

As mentioned in the pull request (#1749), not all the functionality existing in Single Flow Mode is ported to the Multiple Flows Mode yet. Subsequent pull requests will add more functionality gradually.

Please find below a non-exhaustive list of known limitations that will be ironed out in the upcoming pull requests.

• The backend support for multiple flows is not wired-up yet (A separate pull request will follow)
• The Add / Remove flow functionality is still pending.
• Removing individual nodes from a flow that it's part of a multiple flows scheme is still pending.

Associated issue: #801
