Draw arrow from node to nothing

I want to draw a mermaid diagram containing arrows that do not join with nodes:

graph LR
    A(Sample Text)
    -->A
    A-->B
    B-->A 
    B-->

-->A and B--> fails, likely because the arrow requires both input and output nodes. Is there a workaround? Can I make the node invisible or blank?

Solution

  • How about this?

    graph LR
    START[ ]-->A[Sample Text]
    A-->B
    B-->A 
    B-->STOP[ ]
    
    style START fill:#FFFFFF00, stroke:#FFFFFF00;
    style STOP  fill:#FFFFFF00, stroke:#FFFFFF00;

    Output diagram is:

    --> sample text <--> B -->
