Installation

Svelvet is available as both an npm and a yarn package. You can install it by running one of the two commands:

npm install svelvet

yarn add svelvet

Quick Start

Start by importing the Svelvet and Node components into your application:

import { Svelvet, Node, Anchor, Edge } from 'svelvet';

A Svelvet canvas primarily consists of Nodes. You can pass any number of Nodes as children to the Svelvet wrapper. You can use all the standard conditional rendering syntax to populate nodes within the Svelvet component. Basic parameters like color, input and output count, label and more can be specified and feature two-way data binding with passed props. For greater customization, wrap your own custom components in our Node component and pass the whole thing to Svelvet.

Nodes, Edges and Anchors all feature click events, properties and functions to allow developers to fully customize the state of their graphs.

When creating custom Nodes, you can position any number of our Anchor components to enable dynamic connections. You can also wrap Nodes in a Group component to limit their boundaries and move them as one. These groups can be created dynamically by Shift + Click and dragging.

Finally, you can render our Controls, Minimap, Background and Theme Toggle components via props or named slots. In the latter use case, you can pass props to further customize them. The Controls component can wrap your own set of buttons as we expose the zoom/reset/lock actions using a let directive.

Svelvet is focused on dynamic edge connections, but if you'd like to specify edges ahead of time, you can pass an array of connections to any Anchor component. You can also pass a custom Edge component!

<Svelvet width={500} height={500} theme="dark" initialZoom={0.6} minimap>
	<Node />
	<Node label="Demo Node" TD />
	<Node id="node-id" inputs={2} />
	<Node bgColor="red" inputs={10} outputs={5} height={200} position={{ x: 100, y: 100 }} />
	<Controls slot="controls" horizontal />
</Svelvet>

Testing

Testing is done with Playwright and the Svelte Testing Library. You can find tests in the /tests folder. We plan on dramatically expanding test coverage very soon. In order to run the tests use the command:

For End-to-End testing

npx playwright test
