[State tree] large app about visualizer

[christopherthielen]

What? it looks fine to me. ;)

The middle-click idea seems like pretty low-hanging fruit. I don't have time to enhance this now, but would be happy to help guide anyone interested in implementing this.

One other thing to note: you can increase the size of the viewport by passing height and width props to the third argument of StateVisualizer.create:

  var vis = window['ui-router-visualizer']
  vis.StateVisualizer.create(ng1UIRouter, undefined, { width: 500, height: 500 });
  vis.TransitionVisualizer.create(ng1UIRouter);

thank you for the hint, I'll try to work on it next week!

Awesome tool, very cool!

Was wandering how the labels are rendering? If we wanted to send them through a custom parser to add some addition info etc. What code actually renders the labels?

[christopherthielen]

Here is where the state name is written out (as SVG text): https://github.com/ui-router/visualizer/blob/master/src/state/stateNode.tsx#L33-L40

Just below it is the "label text" (i.e., "active")

The node itself is the StateVisNode which wraps a ui-router state object.

Thanks so much 👍

Was exactly what i was looking for!

I added some enhancements which makes the visualizer much more usable with large state trees:

1. Added other layout strategies: Tree (current), Cluster, Radial. The Radial layout works great for large apps.

2. Add a zoom level which scales the state nodes and labels:

3. Add an interactive resize handle:

4. Added Collapse/uncollapsing.

• Toggle collapse by double-clicking a state
• The count of collapsed descendents is shown inside the state
• The state is automatically un-collapsed if it is entered.
• States without children cannot be collapsed.

@aitboudad version 3.0.0 released, please provide feedback

[aitboudad]

@christopherthielen just checked on my side and it looks really nice, I have two remarks:

• allow to configure inactive state with children collapsed as default
• add horizontal tree (left to right)

Thanks in advance!

@aitboudad just before registering the plugin you can set the initial collapsed status of each state.

For example:

let states: State[] = router.stateRegistry.get().map(s => s.$$state());
let secondLevel = states.filter(s => s.parent.name === 'app');
secondLevel.forEach(s => s._collapsed = true);

router.plugin(Visualizer);

Or in this plunker, collapse all top and second level states:

  // Auto-collapse children in state visualizer
  var registry = $uiRouter.stateRegistry;
  $uiRouter.stateRegistry.get().map(s => s.$$state())
      .filter(s => s.path.length === 2 || s.path.length === 3)
      .forEach(s => s._collapsed = true);
