 # React Flow Component Prop Types
 
+#### Basic Props
 - `elements`: array of [nodes](#nodes) and [edges](#edges) *(required)*
-- `onElementClick(element: Node | Edge)`: element click callback
-- `onElementsRemove(elements: Elements)`: element remove callback
-- `onNodeDragStart(node: Node)`: node drag start callback

-- `onNodeMouseLeave(evt: MouseEvent, node: Node)`: node mouse leave callback
-- `onNodeContextMenu(evt: MouseEvent, node: Node)`: node context menu callback
-- `onConnect({ source, target })`: connect callback
-- `onLoad(reactFlowInstance)`: editor load callback
-- `onMove()`: move callback
-- `onSelectionChange(elements: Elements)`: fired when element selection changes
-- `nodeTypes`: object with [node types](#node-types--custom-nodes)
-- `edgeTypes`: object with [edge types](#edge-types--custom-edges)

 ## React Flow Instance
 
 You can receive a `reactFlowInstance` by using the `onLoad` callback:
