comment-plugin

This plugin allows the creation of inline and frame comments.

• Inline comment can be attached to a target node.
• Frame comments allow grouping of nodes.

Installation

Import

import { CommentPlugin } from '@naetverkjs/comments';
editor.use(CommentPlugin);

Configuration

editor.use(CommentPlugin, {
  margin: number, // The Margin of the comments. Default: 30
  snapSize: number | undefined, // If defined, the comment will snap to the grid
  types: [
    { id: 1, name: 'First Category', class: 'first_category' }, // Frame Categories and added class when selected
    { id: 2, name: 'Second Category', class: 'second_category' }, 
  ],
  // Key Bindings:
  frameCommentKeys: {
    code: 'KeyF',
    shiftKey: true,
    ctrlKey: false,
    altKey: false,
  }, // Default: Shift+F
  inlineCommentKeys: {
    code: 'KeyC',
    shiftKey: true,
    ctrlKey: false,
    altKey: false,
  }, // Default: Shift+C
  deleteCommentKeys: {
    code: 'Delete',
    shiftKey: false,
    ctrlKey: false,
    altKey: false,
  }, // Delete
});

Use

// Creates a frame around the selected nodes with the text as title
editor.trigger('addcomment', {
  type: CommentType.FRAME,
  text: 'Frame Title',
  nodes: [],
});

// Creates a comment at a given position
editor.trigger('addcomment', {
  type: CommentType.INLINE,
  text: 'Comment Title',
  position,
});

// Removes a comment or all by type
editor.trigger('removecomment', { comment });
editor.trigger('removecomment', { type });

Styling

To display the comments, add the following scss to your component. You can also overwrite this if you want.

.inline-comment,
.frame-comment {
  font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
  color: black;
  padding: 12px;
  font-size: 80%;
  position: absolute;
  cursor: move;
  border-radius: 3px;
  &:focus {
    z-index: -50;
    outline: none;
    border-color: #f1df97;
  }
}
.inline-comment {
  z-index: 4;
  background: #e7edff;
  border: 2px dashed #aec4ff;
  &.connected {
    border: 2px solid #7489c5;
  }
}
.frame-comment {
  z-index: -1;
  background: rgba(15, 80, 255, 0.2);
  border: 2px solid transparent;
}

.handle {
  width: 10px;
  height: 10px;
  background: #ff0000;
  position: absolute;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  cursor: se-resize;
}

/* If you use comment types you can define overwrite styles for the frames. For
example when you use     { id: 2, name: 'Second Category', class: 'second_category' }, 
you can add .second_category{} */

Working with other plugins

Auto-Arrange Plugin

If you use the auto-arrange plugin you need to trigger the syncframes call as well - so that the comment position updates.

// Trigger the arrange call
editor.arrange();
// Also sync the comments
editor.trigger('syncframes');

Area Plugin

The Area Plugin adds a background layer. If you have the z-index of your comments to low - they will not be selectable anymore.

Snap: If you have the snap option enabled, the position of the comments are not bind to this value. You have to use the snapSize option of the comment plugin with the same value.
