Jsplumb
jsplumb is a JavaScript diagramming library and visual connectivity engine used to draw draggable connections between HTML elements. It functions as an SVG connector framework that renders dynamic links to create visual connectivity maps and flowcharts.
The library provides tools for building node-based user interfaces, interactive workflow mapping, and visual diagramming. It enables the creation of dynamic relationship visualizations where users can link steps or pieces of information together on a web page.
Features
- SVG-Based Vector Rendering - Uses scalable vector graphics to render dynamic, draggable connecting lines overlaid on the web page.
- Bézier Curve Interpolations - Calculates mathematical Bézier paths to generate smooth curves between anchor points.
- Coordinate Calculation Engines - Implements geometric logic to calculate the optimal spatial coordinates and paths for drawing connector lines.
- Dynamic SVG Manipulation - Performs real-time programmatic alteration of SVG paths to maintain links between moving UI elements.
- Interactive Diagramming Libraries - Acts as a library for embedding interactive, browser-rendered diagrams with draggable connectivity.
- Connectivity Graph State Managers - Maintains an internal registry of linked elements to manage relationship updates and connection persistence.
- DOM Element Connectors - Enables users to draw draggable connections between various HTML elements to create visual diagrams.
- Interactive Connection Managers - Provides a system for dynamically drawing and managing visual connections between node ports on a web page.
- Element Anchoring - Provides a system for binding connection endpoints to the boundaries of specific DOM elements.
- Visual Diagram Editors - Provides a canvas-like environment for creating and manipulating flowcharts and visual connectors.
- Node-Based UI Editors - Supports the creation of graph-based interfaces where nodes represent components connected by data flows.
- Relationship Visualizations - Provides a means to display how different pieces of information relate via draggable lines in a browser.
- Drag Coordinate Synchronization - Tracks real-time mouse movements to update connector coordinates dynamically as elements are repositioned.
- Workflow Mapping Tools - Facilitates the building of visual processes or logic flows where users can link sequential steps.
- Frontend Development - Library for creating interactive flowcharts and diagrams.
