## Usage
### Install
#### NPM
```bash
npm i mind-elixir -S
```
```javascript
import MindElixir from 'mind-elixir'
import 'mind-elixir/style.css'
```
#### Script tag
```html
```
And in your CSS file:
```css
@import 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mind-elixir/dist/style.css';
```
### Init
```html
```
```javascript
import MindElixir from 'mind-elixir'
import { en } from 'mind-elixir/i18n'
import 'mind-elixir/style.css'
import example from 'mind-elixir/dist/example1'
let options = {
el: '#map', // or HTMLDivElement
direction: MindElixir.LEFT,
toolBar: true, // default true
keypress: true, // default true
overflowHidden: false, // default false
mouseSelectionButton: 0, // 0 for left button, 2 for right button, default 0
contextMenu: {
locale: en, // [cn,zh_CN,zh_TW,en,ru,ja,pt,it,es,fr,ko,ro,da,fi,de,nl,nb,sv]
focus: true,
link: true,
extend: [
{
name: 'Node edit',
onclick: () => {
alert('extend menu')
},
},
],
}, // default true
before: {
insertSibling(type, obj) {
return true
},
},
// Custom markdown parser (optional)
// markdown: (text) => customMarkdownParser(text), // provide your own markdown parser function
}
let mind = new MindElixir(options)
mind.install(plugin) // install your plugin
// create new map data
const data = MindElixir.new('new topic')
// or `example`
// or the data return from `.getData()`
mind.init(data)
// get a node
MindElixir.E('node-id')
```
### Data Structure
```javascript
// whole node data structure up to now
const nodeData = {
topic: 'node topic',
id: 'bd1c24420cd2c2f5',
style: { fontSize: '32', color: '#3298db', background: '#ecf0f1' },
expanded: true,
parent: null,
tags: ['Tag'],
icons: ['😀'],
hyperLink: 'https://github.com/ssshooter/mind-elixir-core',
image: {
url: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ssshooter/mind-elixir-core/master/images/logo2.png', // required
// you need to query the height and width of the image and calculate the appropriate value to display the image
height: 90, // required
width: 90, // required
},
children: [
{
topic: 'child',
id: 'xxxx',
// ...
},
],
}
```
### Event Handling
```javascript
mind.bus.addListener('operation', operation => {
console.log(operation)
// return {
// name: action name,
// obj: target object
// }
// name: [insertSibling|addChild|removeNode|beginEdit|finishEdit]
// obj: target
// name: moveNode
// obj: {from:target1,to:target2}
})
mind.bus.addListener('selectNodes', nodes => {
console.log(nodes)
})
mind.bus.addListener('expandNode', node => {
console.log('expandNode: ', node)
})
```
### Data Export And Import
```javascript
// data export
const data = mind.getData() // javascript object, see src/example.js
mind.getDataString() // stringify object
// data import
// initiate
let mind = new MindElixir(options)
mind.init(data)
// data update
mind.refresh(data)
```
### Markdown Support
Mind Elixir supports custom markdown parsing:
```javascript
// Disable markdown (default)
let mind = new MindElixir({
// markdown option omitted - no markdown processing
})
// Use custom markdown parser
let mind = new MindElixir({
markdown: text => {
// Your custom markdown implementation
return text
.replace(/\*\*(.*?)\*\*/g, '$1')
.replace(/\*(.*?)\*/g, '$1')
.replace(/`(.*?)`/g, '$1')
},
})
// Use any markdown library (e.g., marked, markdown-it, etc.)
import { marked } from 'marked'
let mind = new MindElixir({
markdown: text => marked(text),
})
```
### Operation Guards
```javascript
let mind = new MindElixir({
// ...
before: {
async addChild(el, obj) {
try {
await saveDataToDb()
return true
} catch (err) {
return false
}
},
},
})
```
## Export as a Image
Install `@zumer/snapdom`, then:
```typescript
import { snapdom } from '@zumer/snapdom'
const download = async () => {
const result = await snapdom(mind.nodes)
await result.download({ format: 'jpg', filename: 'my-capture' })
}
```
For other export formats and advanced options, see the [Mind Elixir documentation](https://ssshooter.com/en/how-to-use-mind-elixir/#exporting-images).
### Deprecated API
> ⚠️ **Deprecated**: The `mind.exportSvg()` method is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
```typescript
// DEPRECATED - Do not use in new projects
const svgData = await mind.exportSvg()
```
## Theme
```javascript
const options = {
// ...
theme: {
name: 'Dark',
// main lines color palette
palette: ['#848FA0', '#748BE9', '#D2F9FE', '#4145A5', '#789AFA', '#706CF4', '#EF987F', '#775DD5', '#FCEECF', '#DA7FBC'],
// overwrite css variables
cssVar: {
'--main-color': '#ffffff',
'--main-bgcolor': '#4c4f69',
'--color': '#cccccc',
'--bgcolor': '#252526',
'--panel-color': '255, 255, 255',
'--panel-bgcolor': '45, 55, 72',
},
// all variables see /src/index.less
},
// ...
}
// ...
mind.changeTheme({
name: 'Latte',
palette: ['#dd7878', '#ea76cb', '#8839ef', '#e64553', '#fe640b', '#df8e1d', '#40a02b', '#209fb5', '#1e66f5', '#7287fd'],
cssVar: {
'--main-color': '#444446',
'--main-bgcolor': '#ffffff',
'--color': '#777777',
'--bgcolor': '#f6f6f6',
},
})
```
Be aware that Mind Elixir will not observe the change of `prefers-color-scheme`. Please change the theme **manually** when the scheme changes.
