Installation

Download or clone repository and copy the dist folder, CDN option Or npm.

Clone

git clone https://github.com/jerosoler/Drawflow.git

CDN

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jerosoler/Drawflow/dist/drawflow.min.css">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jerosoler/Drawflow/dist/drawflow.min.js"></script>

NPM

npm i drawflow

Import

import Drawflow from 'drawflow'
import styleDrawflow from 'drawflow/dist/drawflow.min.css'

Require

var Drawflow = require('drawflow')
var styleDrawflow = require('drawflow/dist/drawflow.min.css')

Create the parent element of drawflow.

<div id="drawflow"></div>

Running

Start drawflow.

var id = document.getElementById("drawflow");
const editor = new Drawflow(id);
editor.start();

Parameter | Type | Description --- | --- | --- id | Object | Name of module render | Object | It's for Vue.

For vue 2 example.

import Vue from 'vue'

// Pass render Vue
this.editor = new Drawflow(id, Vue);

For vue 3 example.

import * as Vue from 'vue'

// Pass render Vue
this.editor = new Drawflow(id, Vue);

Nuxt

Add to nuxt.config.js file

build: {
    transpile: ['drawflow'],
    ...
  }

Mouse and Keys

• del key to remove element.
• Right click to show remove options (Mobile long press).
• Left click press to move editor or node selected.
• Ctrl + Mouse Wheel Zoom in/out (Mobile pinch).

Editor

You can change the editor to fixed type to block. Only editor can be moved. You can put it before start.

editor.editor_mode = 'edit'; // Default
editor.editor_mode = 'fixed'; // Only scroll

You can also adjust the zoom values.

editor.zoom_max = 1.6;
editor.zoom_min = 0.5;
editor.zoom_value = 0.1;

Editor options

Parameter | Type | Default | Description --- | --- | --- | --- reroute | Boolean | false | Active reroute reroute_fix_curvature | Boolean | false | Fix adding points curvature | Number | 0.5 | Curvature reroute_curvature_start_end | Number | 0.5 | Curvature reroute first point and las point reroute_curvature | Number | 0.5 | Curvature reroute reroute_width | Number | 6 | Width of reroute line_path | Number | 5 | Width of line force_first_input | Boolean | false | Force the first input to drop the connection on top of the node editor_mode | Text | edit | edit or fixed mode zoom | Number | 1 | Default zoom zoom_max | Number | 1.6 | Default zoom max zoom_min | Number | 0.5 | Default zoom min zoom_value | Number | 0.1 | Default zoom value update zoom_last_value | Number | 1 | Default zoom last value draggable_inputs | Boolean | true | Drag nodes on click inputs

Reroute

Active reroute connections. Use before start or import.

editor.reroute = true;

Create point with doble click on line connection. Doble click on point for remove.

Modules

Separate your flows in different editors.

editor.addModule('nameNewModule');
editor.changeModule('nameNewModule');
editor.removeModule('nameModule');
// Default Module is Home
editor.changeModule('Home');

RemovedModule if it is in the same module redirects to the Home module

Nodes

Adding a node is simple.

editor.addNode(name, inputs, outputs, posx, posy, class, data, html);

Parameter | Type | Description --- | --- | --- name | text | Name of module inputs | number | Number of de inputs outputs | number | Number of de outputs pos_x | number | Position on start node left pos_y | number | Position on start node top class | text | Added classname to de node data | json | Data passed to node html | text | HTML drawn on node or name of register node. typenode | boolean & text | Default false, true for Object HTML, vue for vue

You can use the attribute df-* in inputs, textarea or select to synchronize with the node data.

Atrributs multiples parents support df-*-*...

Node example

var html = `
<div><input type="text" df-name></div>
`;
var data = { "name": '' };

editor.addNode('github', 0, 1, 150, 300, 'github', data, html);

Register Node

it's possible register nodes for reuse.

var html = document.createElement("div");
html.innerHTML =  "Hello Drawflow!!";
editor.registerNode('test', html);
// Use
editor.addNode('github', 0, 1, 150, 300, 'github', data, 'test', true);

// For vue
import component from '~/components/testcomponent.vue'
editor.registerNode('name', component, props, options);
// Use for vue
editor.addNode('github', 0, 1, 150, 300, 'github', data, 'name', 'vue');

Parameter | Type | Description --- | --- | --- name | text | Name of module registered. html | text | HTML to drawn or vue component. props | json | Only for vue. Props of component. Not Required options | json | Only for vue. Options of component. Not Required

Methods

Other available functions.

Mehtod | Description --- | --- zoom_in() | Increment zoom +0.1 zoom_out() | Decrement zoom -0.1 getNodeFromId(id) | Get Info of node. Ex: id: 5 getNodesFromName(name) | Return Array of nodes id. Ex: name: telegram removeNodeId(id) | Remove node. Ex id: node-x updateNodeDataFromId | Update data element. Ex: 5, { name: 'Drawflow' } addNodeInput(id) | Add input to node. Ex id: 5 addNodeOutput(id) | Add output to node. Ex id: 5 removeNodeInput(id, input_class) | Remove input to node. Ex id: 5, input_2 removeNodeOutput(id, output_class) | Remove output to node. Ex id: 5, output_2 addConnection(id_output, id_input, output_class, input_class) | Add connection. Ex: 15,16,'output_1','input_1' removeSingleConnection(id_output, id_input, output_class, input_class) | Remove connection. Ex: 15,16,'output_1','input_1' updateConnectionNodes(id) | Update connections position from Node Ex id: node-x removeConnectionNodeId(id) | Remove node connections. Ex id: node-x getModuleFromNodeId(id) | Get name of module where is the id. Ex id: 5 clearModuleSelected() | Clear data of module selected clear() | Clear all data of all modules and modules remove.

Methods example

Events

You can detect events that are happening.

List of available events:

Event | Return | Description --- | --- | --- nodeCreated | id | id of Node nodeRemoved | id | id of Node nodeSelected | id | id of Node nodeUnselected | true | Unselect node nodeMoved | id | id of Node connectionCreated | { output_id, input_id, output_class, input_class } | id's of nodes and ouput/input selected connectionRemoved | { output_id, input_id, output_class, input_class } | id's of nodes and ouput/input selected addReroute | id | id of Node output removeReroute | id | id of Node output moduleCreated | name | name of Module moduleChanged | name | name of Module moduleRemoved | name | name of Module click | event | Click event clickEnd | event | Once the click changes have been made contextmenu | event | Click second button mouse event mouseMove | { x, y } | Position keydown | event | Keydown event zoom | zoom_level | Level of zoom translate | { x, y } | Position translate editor import | import | Finish import export | data | Data export

Events example

editor.on('nodeCreated', function(id) {
  console.log("Node created " + id);
})

Export / Import

You can export and import your data.

var exportdata = editor.export();
editor.import(exportdata);
