Perhaps you'd prefer the jQuery version

Perhaps you'd prefer the Web Components version

Foreword

• First of all, thanks a lot for wesnolte's great work:blush: -- jOrgChart. The thought that using nested tables to build out the tree-like orgonization chart is amazing. This idea is more simple and direct than its counterparts based on svg.
• Unfortunately, it's long time not to see the update of jOrgChart. on the other hand, I got some interesting ideas to add, so I choose to create a new repo.
• Font Awesome provides us with administration icon, second level menu icon and loading spinner.

Features

• Supports both local data and remote data (JSON).
• Smooth expand/collapse effects based on CSS3 transitions.
• Align the chart in 4 orientations.
• Allows user to change orgchart structure by drag/drop nodes.
• Allows user to edit orgchart dynamically and save the final hierarchy as a JSON object.
• Supports exporting chart as a picture.
• Supports pan and zoom
• Users can adopt multiple solutions to build up a huge organization chart(please refer to multiple-layers or hybrid layout sections)
• touch-enabled plugin for mobile divice

Getting started

Build

npm install
gulp build

Serve

gulp serve

Now, you can try out all the demos on http://localhost:3000.

Note: your nodejs version should be 4+.

Demo

• using ul datasource(this feature comes from Tobyee's good idea:blush:)

<!-- wrap the text node with <a href="#"> , <span>, blabla is also OK. Note:text node must immediately follow the <li> tag, with no intervening characters of any kind.  -->
<ul id="ul-data">
  <li>Lao Lao
    <ul>
      <li>Bo Miao</li>
      <li>Su Miao
        <ul>
          <li>Tie Hua</li>
          <li>Hei Hei
            <ul>
              <li>Pang Pang</li>
              <li>Xiang Xiang</li>
            </ul>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

let orgchart = new OrgChart({
  'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
  'data' : '#ul-data'
});

• using local datasource

let datascource = {
  'name': 'Lao Lao',
  'title': 'general manager',
  'children': [
    { 'name': 'Bo Miao', 'title': 'department manager' },
    { 'name': 'Su Miao', 'title': 'department manager',
      'children': [
        { 'name': 'Tie Hua', 'title': 'senior engineer' },
        { 'name': 'Hei Hei', 'title': 'senior engineer',
          'children': [
            { 'name': 'Pang Pang', 'title': 'engineer' },
            { 'name': 'Xiang Xiang', 'title': 'UE engineer' }
          ]
        }
      ]
    },
    { 'name': 'Yu Jie', 'title': 'department manager' },
    { 'name': 'Yu Li', 'title': 'department manager' },
    { 'name': 'Hong Miao', 'title': 'department manager' },
    { 'name': 'Yu Wei', 'title': 'department manager' },
    { 'name': 'Chun Miao', 'title': 'department manager' },
    { 'name': 'Yu Tie', 'title': 'department manager' }
  ]
},
orgchart = new OrgChart({
  'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
  'data' : datascource,
  'depth': 2,
  'nodeContent': 'title'
});

• I wanna pan&zoom the orgchart

• I wanna align orgchart with different orientation(this feature comes from the good idea of fvlima and badulesia :blush:)

  Top to Bottom -- default direction, as you can see all other examples on this page.

  Bottom to Top

// sample of core source code
let orgchart = new OrgChart({
  'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
  'data' : datascource,
  'nodeContent': 'title',
  'direction': 'b2t'
});

Left to Right

// sample of core source code
let orgchart = new OrgChart({
  'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
  'data' : datascource,
  'nodeContent': 'title',
  'direction': 'l2r'
});

Right to Left

// sample of core source code
let orgchart = new OrgChart({
  'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
  'data' : datascource,
  'nodeContent': 'title',
  'direction': 'r2l'
});

• I wanna show/hide left/right sibling nodes respectively by clicking left/right arrow

// sample of core source code
let orgchart = new OrgChart({
  'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
  'data' : datascource,
  'nodeContent': 'title',
  'toggleSiblingsResp': true
});

• I wanna load datasource through ajax

// sample of core source code
let orgchart = new OrgChart({
  'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
  'data' : '/orgchart/initdata',
  'depth': 2,
  'nodeContent': 'title'
});

• I wanna load data on-demand

Note: when users use ajaxURL option to build orghchart, they must use json datasource(both local and remote are OK) and set the relationship property of datasource by themselves. All of these staff are used to generate the correct expanding/collapsing arrows for nodes.

// sample of core source code
let datascource = {
  'id': '1',
  'name': 'Su Miao',
  'title': 'department manager',
  'relationship': '111',
  'children': [
    { 'id': '2','name': 'Tie Hua', 'title': 'senior engineer', 'relationship': '110' },
    { 'id': '3','name': 'Hei Hei', 'title': 'senior engineer', 'relationship': '111' }
  ]
},
ajaxURLs = {
  'children': '/orgchart/children/',
  'parent': '/orgchart/parent/',
  'siblings': function(nodeData) {
    return '/orgchart/siblings/' + nodeData.id;
  },
  'families': function(nodeData) {
    return '/orgchart/families/' + nodeData.id;
  }
},
orgchart = new OrgChart({
  'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
  'data' : datascource,
  'ajaxURL': ajaxURLs,
  'nodeContent': 'title',
  'nodeId': 'id'
});

• I wanna customize the structure of node

// sample of core source code
let orgchart = new OrgChart({
  'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
  'data' : datascource,
  'depth': 2,
  'nodeContent': 'title',
  'nodeID': 'id',
  'createNode': function(node, data) {
    let secondMenuIcon = document.createElement('i'),
      secondMenu = document.createElement('div');

    secondMenuIcon.setAttribute('class', 'fa fa-info-circle second-menu-icon');
    secondMenuIcon.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
      event.target.nextElementSibling.classList.toggle('hidden');
    });
    secondMenu.setAttribute('class', 'second-menu hidden');
    secondMenu.innerHTML = `<img class="avatar" src="../img/avatar/${data.id}.jpg">`;
    node.appendChild(secondMenuIcon)
    node.appendChild(secondMenu);
  }
});

• I wanna export the organization chart as a picture

Here, we need the help from html2canvas.

// sample of core source code
let orgchart = new OrgChart({
  'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
  'data' : datascource,
  'depth': 2,
  'nodeContent': 'title',
  'exportButton': true,
  'exportFilename': 'MyOrgChart'
});

• I wanna itegrate organization chart with geographic information

Here, we fall back on OpenLayers. It's the most aewsome open-source js library for Web GIS you sholdn't miss.

// sample of core source code
let map = new ol.Map({
  layers: [
    new ol.layer.Tile({
      source: new ol.source.Stamen({
        layer: 'watercolor'
      }),
      preload: 4
    }),
    new ol.layer.Tile({
      source: new ol.source.Stamen({
        layer: 'terrain-labels'
      }),
      preload: 1
    })
  ],
  target: 'pageBody',
  view: new ol.View({
    center: ol.proj.transform([-87.6297980, 41.8781140], 'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857'),
    zoom: 10
  })
});

document.body.insertBefore(document.querySelector('#chart-container'), map.getViewport());

let datascource = {
  'name': 'Lao Lao',
  'title': 'President Office',
  'position': [-87.6297980, 41.8781140],
  'children': [
    { 'name': 'Bo Miao', 'title': 'Administration  Dept.', 'position': [-83.0457540, 42.3314270]},
        { 'name': 'Su Miao', 'title': 'R & D Dept.', 'position': [-81.6943610, 41.4993200]},
        { 'name': 'Yu Jie', 'title': 'Product Dept.', 'position': [-71.0588800, 42.3600820]},
        { 'name': 'Yu Li', 'title': 'Legal Dept.', 'position': [-74.0059410, 40.7127840]},
        { 'name': 'Hong Miao', 'title': 'Finance Dept.', 'position': [-80.8431270, 35.2270870]},
        { 'name': 'Yu Wei', 'title': 'Security Dept.', 'position': [-81.6556510, 30.3321840]},
        { 'name': 'Chun Miao', 'title': 'HR Dept. ', 'position': [-81.3792360, 28.5383350]},
        { 'name': 'Yu Tie', 'title': 'Marketing Dept.', 'position': [-80.1917900, 25.7616800] }
  ]
},
orgchart = new OrgChart({
  'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
  'data' : datascource,
  'nodeContent': 'title',
  'createNode': function(node, data) {
    node.addEventListener('click', () => {
      let view = map.getView(),
        duration = 2000,
        start = +new Date(),
        pan = ol.animation.pan({
          'duration': duration,
          'source':  view.getCenter(),
          'start': start
        }),
        bounce = ol.animation.bounce({
          'duration': duration,
          'resolution': 4 * view.getResolution(),
          'start': start
        });

      map.beforeRender(pan, bounce);
      view.setCenter(ol.proj.transform(data.position, 'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857'));
    });
  }
});

• I wanna edit orgchart

With the help of exposed core methods(addParent(), addSiblings(), addChildren(), removeNodes()) of orgchart plugin, we can finish this task easily.

import OrgChart from '../js/orgchart.min.js';

function addNodes(orgchart) {
  let chartContainer = document.getElementById('chart-container'),
    nodeVals = [];

  Array.from(document.getElementById('new-nodelist').querySelectorAll('.new-node'))
    .forEach(item => {
      let validVal = item.value.trim();
        
      if (validVal) {
        nodeVals.push(validVal);
      }
    });
  let selectedNode = document.getElementById(document.getElementById('selected-node').dataset.node);

  if (!nodeVals.length) {
    alert('Please input value for new node');
    return;
  }
  let nodeType = document.querySelector('input[name="node-type"]:checked');

  if (!nodeType) {
    alert('Please select a node type');
    return;
  }
  if (nodeType.value !== 'parent' && !document.querySelector('.orgchart')) {
    alert('Please creat the root node firstly when you want to build up the orgchart from the scratch');
    return;
  }
  if (nodeType.value !== 'parent' && !selectedNode) {
    alert('Please select one node in orgchart');
    return;
  }

  if (nodeType.value === 'parent') {
    if (!chartContainer.children.length) {// if the original chart has been deleted
      orgchart = new OrgChart({
        'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
        'data' : { 'name': nodeVals[0] },
        'exportButton': true,
        'exportFilename': 'SportsChart',
        'parentNodeSymbol': 'fa-th-large',
        'createNode': function(node, data) {
          node.id = getId();
        }
      });
      orgchart.chart.classList.add('view-state');
    } else {
      orgchart.addParent(chartContainer.querySelector('.node'), { 'name': nodeVals[0], 'Id': getId() });
    }
  } else if (nodeType.value === 'siblings') {
    orgchart.addSiblings(selectedNode, {
      'siblings': nodeVals.map(item => {
        return { 'name': item, 'relationship': '110', 'Id': getId() };
      })
    });
  } else {
    let hasChild = selectedNode.parentNode.colSpan > 1;

    if (!hasChild) {
      let rel = nodeVals.length > 1 ? '110' : '100';

      orgchart.addChildren(selectedNode, {
        'children': nodeVals.map(item => {
          return { 'name': item, 'relationship': rel, 'Id': getId() };
        })
      });
    } else {
      orgchart.addSiblings(closest(selectedNode, el => el.nodeName === 'TABLE').querySelector('.nodes').querySelector('.node'),
        { 'siblings': nodeVals.map(function(item) { return { 'name': item, 'relationship': '110', 'Id': getId() }; })
      });
    }
  }
}

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
  let orgchart,
    datascource = {
      'name': 'Ball game',
      'children': [
        { 'name': 'Football' },
        { 'name': 'Basketball' },
        { 'name': 'Volleyball' }
      ]
    };

  orgchart = new OrgChart({
    'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
    'data' : datascource,
    'exportButton': true,
    'exportFilename': 'SportsChart',
    'parentNodeSymbol': 'fa-th-large',
    'createNode': function(node, data) {
      node.id = getId();
    }
  });

  document.getElementById('btn-add-nodes').addEventListener('click', () => addNodes(orgchart));

});

• I wanna drag & drop the nodes of orgchart

Users are allowed to drag & drop the nodes of orgchart when option "draggable" is assigned to true(Note: this feature doesn't work on IE due to its poor support for HTML5 drag & drop API).

Furthermore, users can make use of option dropCriteria to inject their custom limitations on drag & drop. As shown below, we don't want an manager employee to be under a engineer under no circumstance.

// sample of core source code
let orgchart = new OrgChart({
  'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
  'data' : datascource,
  'nodeContent': 'title',
  'draggable': true,
  'dropCriteria': function(draggedNode, dragZone, dropZone) {
    if(draggedNode.querySelector(':scope > .content').textContent.includes('manager') &&
      dropZone.querySelector(':scope > .content').textContent.includes('engineer')) {
      return false;
    }
    return true;
  }
});

• I want a method that can decribe the hierarchy of orgchart

That's where getHierarchy() comes in.

<ul id="ul-data">
  <li id="1">Lao Lao
    <ul>
      <li id="2">Bo Miao</li>
      <li id="3">Su Miao
        <ul>
          <li id="4">Tie Hua</li>
          <li id="5">Hei Hei
            <ul>
              <li id="6">Pang Pang</li>
              <li id="7">Xiang Xiang</li>
            </ul>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

let orgchart = new OrgChart({
  'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
  'data' : '#ul-data'
});

document.querySelector('#btn-export-hier').addEventListener('click', () => {
  if (!document.querySelector('pre')) {
    let pre = document.createElement('pre'), 
      hierarchy = orgchart.getHierarchy();

    pre.innerHTML = JSON.stringify(hierarchy, null, 2);
    document.querySelector('body').insertBefore(pre, document.querySelector('.home-link'));
  }
});

• I want a color-coded chart

It's a so easy task, we just need to append id or className property to node data.

let datasource = {
  'name': 'Lao Lao',
  'title': 'general manager',
  'className': 'top-level',
  'children': [
    { 'name': 'Bo Miao', 'title': 'department manager', 'className': 'middle-level',
      'children': [
        { 'name': 'Li Jing', 'title': 'senior engineer', 'className': 'bottom-level' },
        { 'name': 'Li Xin', 'title': 'senior engineer', 'className': 'bottom-level' }
      ]
    }
  };

.orgchart .top-level .title {
  background-color: #006699;
}
.orgchart .top-level .content {
  border-color: #006699;
}
.orgchart .middle-level .title {
  background-color: #009933;
}
.orgchart .middle-level .content {
  border-color: #009933;
}
.orgchart .bottom-level .title {
  background-color: #993366;
}
.orgchart .bottom-level .content {
  border-color: #993366;
}

• I want a multiple-layers chart

In fact, this is a wonderful solution to display a orgchart which includes a huge number of node data.

• I want a hybrid(horizontal + vertical) chart

This feature is inspired by the issues(Aligning Children Vertical, Hybrid(horizontal + vertical) OrgChart). Thank mfahadi and Destructrix for their constructive suggestions:blush:

From now on, users never have to worry about how to align a huge of nodes in one screen of browser. The option "verticalDepth" allows users to align child nodes vertically from the given depth.

Note: currently, this option is incompatible with many other options or methods, like direction, drag&drop, addChildren(), removeNodes(), getHierarchy() and so on. These conflicts will be solved one by one in the later versions.

let orgchart = new OrgChart({
  'chartContainer': '#chart-container',
  'data' : datascource,
  'nodeContent': 'title',
  'verticalDepth': 3, // From the 3th level of orgchart, nodes will be aligned vertically.
  'depth': 4
});

Usage

Instantiation Statement

let orgchart = new OrgChart(options);

Structure of Datasource

{
  'id': 'rootNode', // It's a optional property which will be used as id attribute of node
  // and data-parent attribute, which contains the id of the parent node
  'className': 'top-level', // It's a optional property which will be used as className attribute of node.
  'nodeTitlePro': 'Lao Lao',
  'nodeContentPro': 'general manager',
  'relationship': relationshipValue, // Note: when you activate ondemand loading nodes feature,
  // you should use json datsource (local or remote) and set this property.
  // This property implies that whether this node has parent node, siblings nodes or children nodes.
  // relationshipValue is a string composed of three "0/1" identifier.
  // First character stands for wether current node has parent node;
  // Scond character stands for wether current node has siblings nodes;
  // Third character stands for wether current node has children node.
  'children': [ // The property stands for nested nodes. "children" is just default name you can override.
    { 'nodeTitlePro': 'Bo Miao', 'nodeContentPro': 'department manager', 'relationship': '110' },
    { 'nodeTitlePro': 'Su Miao', 'nodeContentPro': 'department manager', 'relationship': '111',
      'children': [
        { 'nodeTitlePro': 'Tie Hua', 'nodeContentPro': 'senior engineer', 'relationship': '110' },
        { 'nodeTitlePro': 'Hei Hei', 'nodeContentPro': 'senior engineer', 'relationship': '110' }
      ]
    },
    { 'nodeTitlePro': 'Yu Jie', 'nodeContentPro': 'department manager', 'relationship': '110' }
  ],
  'otherPro': anyValue
};

Options

Methods

I'm sure that you can grasp the key points of the methods below after you try out demo -- edit orgchart.

let orgchart = new OrgChart(options);

Embeds an organization chart in designated container. Accepts an options object and you can go through the "options" section to find which options are required.

.addParent(root, data)

Adds parent node(actullay it's always root node) for current orgchart.
