Typescript

External package. More info #119

npm install -D @types/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();

For vue 2 example.

import Vue from 'vue'

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

For vue 3 example.

import { h, getCurrentInstance, render } from 'vue'
const Vue = { version: 3, h, render };

this.editor = new Drawflow(id, Vue);
// Pass render Vue 3 Instance
const internalInstance = getCurrentInstance()
editor.value = new Drawflow(id, Vue, internalInstance.appContext.app._context);

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

Reroute

Active reroute connections. Use before start or import.

editor.reroute = true;

Create point with double click on line connection. Double 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);

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

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');

Methods

Other available functions.

Methods example

editor.removeNodeId('node-4');

Events

You can detect events that are happening.

List of available events:

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);

Export example
