Web UI component: j-Flow

j-Flow

• Works only with +v18
• identifiers can't contain __ char

Configuration:

• width {Number} a width of Flow designer, default: 6000
• height {Number} a height of Flow designer, default: 6000
• grid {Number} a size of background grid, default: 25
• paddingX {Number} internal padding, default: 6
• curvedlines {Boolean} enables curved lines, default: false
• infopath {String} a path to variable/method, response: { zoom: Number, selected: Object }
• undopath {String} a path to variable/method, response is Object array
• redopath {String} a path to variable/method, response is Object array
• ondrop {String} a path to method fn(dropmeta, grid)
• onmake {String} a path to method fn(el, com), it's executed when the component is creating
• ondone {String} a path to method fn(el, com), it's executed when the component is created
• onmove {String} a path to method fn(el, com), it's executed when the component is moving
• onremove {String} a path to method fn(el, com), it's executed when the component is removed
• onconnect {String} a path to method fn(meta), it's executed when the two components are connected
• ondisconnect {String} a path to method fn(meta), it's executed when the two components are disconnected
• horizontal {Boolean} outputs will be rendered horizontally (default: false)
• steplines {Boolean} enables step lines (default: false)
• NEW animationradius {Boolean} animation radius in pixels (default: 6)
• NEW contextmenu {String} a path to function(e, type, component/meta) (type can be map, component or connection)
• NEW dblclick {String} a path to function(component)

Commands:

• flow.refresh recalculates positions
• flow.selected.disconnect disconnects selected connection
• flow.selected.remove removes selected component
• flow.selected.clear removes selected component or connection
• flow.zoom performs zoom, argument: type (can be: in, out, reset)
• flow.undo performs undo step
• flow.redo performs redo step
• flow.reset resets editor
• flow.components.add adds a new component, argument: component_declaration
• flow.components.find finds a component, argument: component_id
• flow.clean cleans data and non-exist connections
• NEW flow.traffic(componentid__outputid, { count: 3, speed: 3, limit: 20, delay: 50 }) loads animation

Adding a new component:

• the component automatically creates ID of component
• connections is {Object}

// Component declaration
var component = {
    x: 100,
    y: 50,
    html: 'Component test',

    outputs: ['1 output name', '2 output name'],
    // or
    // outputs: [{ id: 'A', 'A output name' }, { id: 'B', 'B output name' }],

    connections: { '0': [{ id: '0002', index: '2', disabled: false }] }, // Look to the connection object below
    // or
    // connections: { 'A': [{ id: '0002', index: 'B', disabled: false }] },

    actions: { select: true, move: true, disabled: false, remove: true, connect: true }
};

// Appends component
CMD('flow.components.add', component);

// Connection object
// connections: { '0': [CONNECTION_OBJECT1, CONNECTION_OBJECT2, CONNECTION_OBJECT3] }
{
    id: 'TARGET_ID_COMPONENT',
    index: '0', // An input index or index id, must be string!!!
    disabled: false // Optional, it's the connection disabled? Disabled connection can't be removed
}

Flow output:

• returns Object which keys are ID of components

{
    'F1562743923216': { x: 1, y: 1, connections: [], ... },
    'F1562743965303': { x: 1, y: 1, connections: [], ... },

    // Contains paused endpoints
    paused: { 'input__COMPONENTID__INDEXID': 1, 'output__COMPONENTID__INDEXID': 1 }
}

Good to know:

• each component (in the Flow) contains f-COMPONENTNAME class
