Dangling Connections #228

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The ability to have 'dangling' connections (the endpoint of the connection is 
not connected) that are freely draggable, and can be connected to any shape 
(except the where the startpoint is connected) on the screen.

Example syntax:

jsPlumb.connect({
source:"foo",
floating:true,
targetPosition:[45, 56]   // these might be absolute or relative to
the source element
});

that block of code looks familiar ;)

i do like this idea. would you want to move them around, too, without 
necessarily dropping them anywhere?

Yep, quality piece of code!

1. The shape they are connectors for can be moved as normal, the dangling 
connector doesn't move.
2. The endpoint can be moved around freely; both ending up still dangling, or 
connected to another shape.
3. The endpoint can be disconnected from a shape (drag and drop) and therefore 
may enter a 'dangling' state again (or be connected to another shape).

do you want to drop the dangling endpoint on some other endpoint that was 
marked with isTarget:true?  or do you want to drop them on elements that you've 
called makeTarget(..) on?  or both?

Reading the documentation, I think both.

For my needs, the dangling endpoint can be connected to any shape except the 
one the startpoint is connected to (shape 4 has this in your flowchart demo). 
Also, there will be one shape on the screen which cannot have any endpoints 
connected to.

So, I think for full control, just makeTarget()?

Issues have all moved to Github.  Google code is no longer in use for jsPlumb.
