Flutter Flow Chart

A package that let you draw a flow chart diagram with different kinds of customizable elements. Dashboards can be saved for later use.

See the online example here

Features

  • diamond, rectangle, oval, storage, parallelogram elements
  • elements can be customizable with background, border and text color, border thickness, text size, and weight.
  • interactively connect elements
  • save/load dashboard

Usage

First create a Dashboard:

Dashboard dashboard = Dashboard(
    blockDefaultZoomGestures: false,    // optional
    handlerFeedbackOffset: Offset.zero, // optional
    minimumZoomFactor: 1.25,            // optional
    defaultArrowStyle: ArrowStyle.curve,       // optional
);
  • Following arrow styles are available
    • ArrowStyle.curve,
    • ArrowStyle.segmented,
    • ArrowStyle.rectangular,

then crete the [FlowChart] widget where you can react to the user interactions:

FlowChart(
    dashboard: dashboard,
    onDashboardTapped: ((context, position) {}),
    onDashboardLongtTapped: ((context, position) {}),
    onElementLongPressed: (context, element) {},
    onElementPressed: (context, element) {},
    onHandlerPressed: (context, position, handler, element) {},
    onHandlerLongPressed: (context, position, handler, element) {},
    onScaleUpdate: (newScale) {},
)
then use the _dashboard_ variable to add, remove, resize, etc. elements or load/save the dashboard.

In the [example](https://github.com/alnitak/flutter_flow_chart/blob/master/example/lib/main.dart), the [StarMenu](https://pub.dev/packages/star_menu) package is used to easily interact with user inputs.

The Dashboard

The **Dashboard** object contains all the methods described below used to interact with the flow chart.

Examples

Add an element to Dashboard

Dashboard dashboard = Dashboard();

///////////////////////////////////
/// Define 2 elements
FlowElement element1 = FlowElement(
/// position in the local dashboard coordinates
position: const Offset(100, 100),
/// element size
size: const Size(100, 100),
/// text to show
text: 'diamond',
/// rectangle, diamond, storage, oval or parallelogram element kind
kind: ElementKind.diamond,
/// which handler to make active
handlers: [
    Handler.bottomCenter,
    Handler.topCenter,
    Handler.leftCenter,
    Handler.rightCenter,
]);
FlowElement element2 = FlowElement(
    position: const Offset(300, 100),
    size: const Size(100, 150),
    text: 'rect',
    kind: ElementKind.rectangle,
    handlers: [
    Handler.bottomCenter,
    Handler.topCenter,
    Handler.leftCenter,
    Handler.rightCenter,
]);
///////////////////////////////////
/// Add the element to Dashboard
dashboard.addElement(element);

///////////////////////////////////
/// Connect right handler of element1
/// to the left handler of element2
dashboard.addNextById(
    element1,
    element2.id,
    ArrowParams(
        thickness: 1.5,
        color: Colors.Black,
        startArrowPosition: Alignment.centerRight,
        endArrowPosition: Alignment.centerLeft,
    ),
);

///////////////////////////////////
/// Save/load dashboard
Directory appDocDir = await path.getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();

dashboard.saveDashboard('${appDocDir.path}/FLOWCHART.json');

dashboard.loadDashboard('${appDocDir.path}/FLOWCHART.json');
