EDAVisualiser

EDAVisualiser is a visualization library to show various views revolving around your application. An Application is seen as something that communicates with others through incoming and outgoing "connections". This is what makes up the foundation for the views.

It is written in React, however, it also supports the most used frameworks such as Vue and Angular, check out the examples for concrete code examples.

Installation

Run this command to install the visualizer in your project:

npm install @asyncapi/edavisualiser

Inputs

The library uses a domain-driven approach, meaning we don't assume one or the other input but build on top of a domain model that is specific to this problem we are trying to solve.

Input	Example	Description
AsyncAPI	Preview, code	Allows you to reuse pre-parsed AsyncAPI documents from the official AsyncAPI parser, underneath it splits up the AsyncAPI document into the core building blocks. AsyncAPI v2.0 -> v2.5 is supported.
Core building blocks	Preview, code	The core building blocks is the domain abstraction for inputs this is what any other input type is converted to.

Views

A view could for example be how a "system" of applications is related, how a single application relates to others, only the fantasy sets the limitations, and feel free to propose new ideas!

ApplicationFocusView

Puts a single application in focus as part of a larger system. Used to figure out who is "connected" to the application.

Configurations

These are all the arguments you can use to configure the view.

Arguments	Description	Value type	Default
application	The core building block for setting the application information.	ApplicationNodeData | undefined	undefined
incomingOperations	The core building block for setting incoming operations for the application.	Array<IncomingNodeData> | undefined	undefined
outgoingOperations	The core building block for setting incoming operations for the application.	Array<OutgoingNodeData> | undefined	undefined
external	This is the main difference from the ApplicationView as it shows how external applications interact with it.	Array<ApplicationViewData> | undefined	undefined
asyncapi	If the application is to be loaded from a pre-parsed AsyncAPI document, which can extend the node with a custom react component in the top of the node. I.e., if you want to render a button or whatever it can be.	AsyncapiApplicationData | undefined	undefined
layout	Used to customize the layout of nodes by setting their position.	(elements: FlowElement[]) => React.JSXElementConstructor<LayoutProps> | undefined	A column layout (ColumnLayout)
sideMenu	Used to create a custom menu, or whatever you wish to display within the view on top of the nodes.	() => React.JSXElementConstructor<any> | undefined	Simple headline with the library name
includeControls	Include controls to zoom in and out, focus and lock nodes.	boolean | undefined	false
edgeType	Determine the type of edge between nodes.	Either 'smoothstep', 'step', 'straight', 'floating', 'default', 'simplebezier', 'animated'	smoothstep

ApplicationView

Puts a single application in focus with only it's near connections that are incoming to the application or outgoing from it.

Configurations

These are all the arguments you can use to configure the view.

Arguments	Description	Value type	Default
application	The core building block for setting the application information.	ApplicationNodeData | undefined	undefined
incomingOperations	The core building block for setting incoming operations for the application.	Array<IncomingNodeData> | undefined	undefined
outgoingOperations	The core building block for setting incoming operations for the application.	Array<OutgoingNodeData> | undefined	undefined
asyncapi	If the application is to be loaded from a pre-parsed AsyncAPI document, which can extend the node with a custom react component in the top of the node. I.e., if you want to render a button or whatever it can be.	AsyncapiApplicationData | undefined	undefined
layout	Used to customize the layout of nodes by setting their position.	(elements: FlowElement[]) => React.JSXElementConstructor<LayoutProps> | undefined	A column layout (ColumnLayout)
sideMenu	Used to create a custom menu, or whatever you wish to display within the view on top of the nodes.	() => React.JSXElementConstructor<any> | undefined	Simple headline with the library name
includeControls	Include controls to zoom in and out, focus and lock nodes.	boolean | undefined	false
edgeType	Determine the type of edge between nodes.	Either 'smoothstep', 'step', 'straight', 'floating', 'default', 'simplebezier', 'animated'	smoothstep

SystemView

Puts the system/collection of applications in focus to figure out how they are all connected.

Configurations

These are all the arguments you can use to configure the view.

Arguments	Description	Value type	Default
applications	A list of all the applications within your "system".	Array<ApplicationViewData> | undefined	undefined
layout	Used to customize the layout of nodes by setting their position.	(elements: FlowElement[]) => React.JSXElementConstructor<LayoutProps> | undefined	A circle layout (CircleLayout)
sideMenu	Used to create a custom menu, or whatever you wish to display within the view on top of the nodes.	() => React.JSXElementConstructor<any> | undefined	Simple headline with the library name
includeControls	Include controls to zoom in and out, focus and lock nodes.	boolean | undefined	false
edgeType	Determine the type of edge between nodes.	Either 'smoothstep', 'step', 'straight', 'floating', 'default', 'simplebezier', 'animated'	smoothstep

Showcases

These are the use-cases and where this library is used that you can use as inspiration.

• AsyncAPI Studio, was where this library's components was originally created and split out from. It uses this library to visualize AsyncAPI documents.

Feel free to add your own projects that are using this library and why.

Special thanks to @magicmatatjahu for the react setup that allows the library to be offered to all frontend frameworks, and to @boyney123 for the initial visualization code that first appeared in the AsyncAPI studio.
