🎬 Usage

Check examples directory.

import { Designer } from 'sequential-workflow-designer';

const placeholder = document.getElementById('placeholder');

const definition = {
  properties: {
    'myProperty': 'my-value',
    // root properties...
  },
  sequence: [
    // steps...
  ]
};

const configuration = {
  theme: 'light', // optional, default: 'light'
  isReadonly: false, // optional, default: false
  undoStackSize: 10, // optional, default: 0 - disabled, 1+ - enabled

  steps: {
    // all properties in this section are optional

    iconUrlProvider: (componentType, type) => {
      return `icon-${componentType}-${type}.svg`;
    },

    isDraggable: (step, parentSequence) => {
      return step.name !== 'y';
    },
    isDeletable: (step, parentSequence) => {
      return step.properties['isDeletable'];
    },
    isDuplicable: (step, parentSequence) => {
        return true;
    },
    canInsertStep: (step, targetSequence, targetIndex) => {
      return targetSequence.length < 5;
    },
    canMoveStep: (sourceSequence, step, targetSequence, targetIndex) => {
      return !step.properties['isLocked'];
    },
    canDeleteStep: (step, parentSequence) => {
      return step.name !== 'x';
    }
  },

  validator: {
    // all validators are optional

    step: (step, parentSequence, definition) => {
      return /^[a-z]+$/.test(step.name);
    },
    root: (definition) => {
      return definition.properties['memory'] > 256;
    }
  },

  toolbox: {
    isCollapsed: false,
    groups: [
      {
        name: 'Files',
        steps: [
          // steps for the toolbox's group
        ]
      },
      {
        name: 'Notification',
        steps: [
          // steps for the toolbox's group
        ]
      }
    ]
  },

  editors: {
    isCollapsed: false,
    rootEditorProvider: (definition, rootContext, isReadonly) => {
      const editor = document.createElement('div');
      // ...
      return editor;
    },
    stepEditorProvider: (step, stepContext, definition, isReadonly) => {
      const editor = document.createElement('div');
      // ...
      return editor;
    }
  },

  controlBar: true,
  contextMenu: true,
};

const designer = Designer.create(placeholder, definition, configuration);
designer.onDefinitionChanged.subscribe((newDefinition) => {
  // ...
});

You can hide default UI components by setting the corresponding configuration property to false.

const configuration = {
  toolbox: false,
  editors: false,
  controlBar: false,
  contextMenu: false,
  // ...
}
