@danielres/svelte-dageditor

An advanced editable DAG (directed acyclic graph) component for Svelte[Kit].

This is basically a treeview of interconnected nodes, with the ability to add, remove, rename, delete, and move nodes around. The major difference with a traditional tree structure, is that nodes can have multiple parents.

This allows to create flexible multi-dimensional datastructures/taxonomies/classification systems beyond the limitations of the more common flat or tree-like structures.

• No extra dependencies
• Written in TypeScript
• Supports Svelte 3 and SvelteKit
• Provides undo/redo
• Uses (svelte native) drag and drop
• Comes with default styles (copy them to your project and customize them as you wish)
• 9Kb (unpacked, all included)

Disclaimer

This is an early alpha version, seems to work well. But it is not yet ready for production use. Major breaking changes are expected.

Installation

npm install @danielres/svelte-dageditor

or

pnpm install @danielres/svelte-dageditor

or

yarn add @danielres/svelte-dageditor

Example usage

<script>
  // import editable DAG tree logic (stores, commands, etc.):
  import { makeDagStore } from '@danielres/svelte-dageditor'

  // import the Tree component:
  import { Tree } from '@danielres/svelte-dageditor'

  // import default styles:
  import '@danielres/svelte-dageditor/dist/styles.css'

  import { onMount } from 'svelte'

  // Provide nodes and relations (could be fetched from a server / db):
  const data = {
    nodes: [
      { name: '<root>', id: '<root>' },
      { name: 'tag1', id: 'tag1' },
      { name: 'tag2', id: 'tag2' },
    ],
    relations: [
      { id: 'aaa', parentId: '<root>', childId: 'tag1' },
      { id: 'aaa', parentId: '<root>', childId: 'tag2' },
    ],
  }

  // Generate the editable tree stores
  // The first argument ("<root>" in this example) should be the
  // id of the node that we wish to use as the root:
  const dag = makeDagStore('<root>', data.nodes, data.relations)

  const { commands } = dag

  // Optional: use undo/redo features
  // Optional: get the undos/redos counts
  // Optional: get the history store containing executed commands
  const { undo, redo, undos, redos, history } = commands

  onMount(() => {
    // All actions that can be done through the UI are also available programmatically.
    // Example: execute some commands:
    commands.rename({ id: 'tag1', to: 'tag1-renamed' })
    commands.rename({ id: 'tag2', to: 'tag2-renamed' })
    commands.move({ id: 'tag2', from: '<root>', to: 'tag1' })
  })
</script>
