A library in Javascript to create graphs in the browser similar to PureData. Nodes can be programmed easily and it includes an editor to construct the graphs.

It can be integrated easily in any existing web applications and graphs can be run without the need of the editor.

Installation

You can install it using npm

npm install litegraph.js

Or downloading the build/litegraph.js version from this repository.

First project

<html>
<head>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="/litegraph.js"></script>
</head>
<body style='width:100%; height:100%'>
<canvas id='mycanvas' width='1024' height='720' style='border: 1px solid'></canvas>
<script>
var graph = new LGraph();

var canvas = new LGraphCanvas("#mycanvas", graph);

var node_const = LiteGraph.createNode("basic/const");
node_const.pos = [200,200];
graph.add(node_const);
node_const.setValue(4.5);

var node_watch = LiteGraph.createNode("basic/watch");
node_watch.pos = [700,200];
graph.add(node_watch);

node_const.connect(0, node_watch, 0 );

graph.start()
</script>
</body>
</html>

How to code a new Node type

Here is an example of how to build a node that sums two inputs:

//node constructor class
function MyAddNode()
{
  this.addInput("A","number");
  this.addInput("B","number");
  this.addOutput("A+B","number");
}

//name to show
MyAddNode.title = "Sum";

//function to call when the node is executed
MyAddNode.prototype.onExecute = function()
{
  var A = this.getInputData(0);
  if( A === undefined )
    A = 0;
  var B = this.getInputData(1);
  if( B === undefined )
    B = 0;
  this.setOutputData( 0, A + B );
}

//register in the system
LiteGraph.registerNodeType("basic/sum", MyAddNode );

or you can wrap an existing function:

function sum(a,b)
{
   return a+b;
}

LiteGraph.wrapFunctionAsNode("math/sum",sum, ["Number","Number"],"Number");

Server side

It also works server-side using Node although some nodes do not work in server (audio, graphics, input, etc).

var LiteGraph = require("./litegraph.js").LiteGraph;

var graph = new LiteGraph.LGraph();

var node_time = LiteGraph.createNode("basic/time");
graph.add(node_time);

var node_console = LiteGraph.createNode("basic/console");
node_console.mode = LiteGraph.ALWAYS;
graph.add(node_console);

node_time.connect( 0, node_console, 1 );

graph.start()
