Build based on .fbp files instead of .json files #447

Closed vcharpenay closed 9 years ago

vcharpenay commented 9 years ago

When one woks on graphs in Flowhub, changes are saved in .json files (in the /graphs folder). However, noflo-ui's build parses .fbp files instead of .json files, where no change appears. Is it configurable?

This issue is maybe more related to noflo/grunt-noflo-browser, however.

NoFlo supports loading both .json and .fbp files (through http://github.com/noflo/fbp), out of the box. Flowhub / NoFlo UI only supports exporting .json files.

Does this answer your question?

Well, not exactly. Sorry I've not been clear. I branched noflo-ui and started to add some features. I wanted to use FlowHub itself to modifiy its graphs. However, the changes I make on FlowHub are exported in .json files. Since the build is based on the .fbp files, my changes are not taken into account and I have to manually incorporate them into the .fbp files. I guess full-time FlowHub developers don't do that. Is it possible to build directly on the .json files? Or do you have a simpler methodology?

@vcharpenay Flowhub didn't support editing itself when we made the graphs. I think we should migrate them all in JSON here soon

Alright, thanks. I like the FBP grammar, though. It is more convenient than JSON (but maybe less functional).
