# DAG

> Define the dataflow graph connecting sources, plugins, and sinks.

The **DAG** (Directed Acyclic Graph) defines how data flows through your Tangent pipeline.

***

## Schema

<ParamField path="dag" type="list">
  Each entry describes a flow from one node to one or more downstream nodes.

  * `from.kind`: `source`, `plugin`, or `sink`
  * `from.name`: name of the node
  * `to`: list of destination nodes
</ParamField>

***

## Example

```yaml tangent.yaml icon=settings theme={null}
dag:
  - from:
      kind: source
      name: socket_main
    to:
      - kind: plugin
        name: golang
  - from:
      kind: plugin
      name: golang
    to:
      - kind: sink
        name: blackhole
```

***

### 🧠 Notes

* The DAG determines execution order.
* Multiple plugins or sinks can receive data from one source.
* Cycles are not allowed (it must remain acyclic).
