mxgraph-typings

Typescript Type Definitions / Typings for https://github.com/jgraph/mxgraph

The typings are complete but many optional parameters are currently declared mandatory although optional, many parameters are any typed and much of the JSDoc is not properly formatted/tagged.

Install via

npm install -D lgleim/mxgraph-typings

Usage (Working in Angular 5.x)

import { mxgraph } from 'mxgraph'; // Typings only - no code!

declare var require: any;

const mx: typeof mxgraph = require('mxgraph')({
    mxBasePath: 'mxgraph'
});

@Component(...)
export class DashboardComponent {

    @ViewChild('dashboard') dashboard: ElementRef;

    private graph: mxgraph.mxGraph; 

    ngAfterViewInit() {
            this.graph = new mx.mxGraph(this.dashboard.nativeElement);
            xml = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><mxGraphModel><root><mxCell id='0'/>...</root></mxGraphModel>";

            let doc = mx.mxUtils.parseXml(xml);
            let codec = new mx.mxCodec(doc);
            codec.decode(doc.documentElement, this.graph.getModel());       
    }
}

If you are using the Angular CLI you can add the following line to your .angular=cli.json assets array to make the mxGraph assets available

{"glob":"**/*", "input":"node_modules/mxgraph/javascript/src", "output": "./mxgraph"}
