JointJS - JavaScript diagramming library powering exceptional UIs

JointJS is a tested and proven JavaScript/Typescript diagramming library that helps developers and companies of any size build visual and No-Code/Low-Code applications faster and with confidence. It’s a flexible tool from which a wide range of UIs can be created (interactive diagramming applications, drawing tools, data visualizations, UIs for monitoring systems, and many more). It can become the foundational layer of your next application and help you bring your idea to market in days, not months or years.

Further information, examples and documentation can be found at jointjs.com.

Setup

Clone this git repository:

git clone https://github.com/clientIO/joint.git

Navigate to the joint directory:

Install all dependencies:

Generate distribution files from the source code:

You are now ready to browse our example applications, which combine functionality from multiple JointJS packages:

Refer to each application's README.md file for additional instructions.

You can also browse the demo applications of our JointJS Core package:

cd packages/joint-core/demo

Most demos can be run by simply opening the index.html file in your browser. Some demos have additional instructions, which you can find in their respective README.md files.

Tests

To run all tests:

To run only the server-side tests:

To run only the client-side tests:

To run only TypeScript tests:

Lint

To check for linting errors in src and types directories:

To auto fix errors, run eslint for src and types directories:

Code Coverage Reports

To output a code coverage report in HTML:

To output a code coverage report in lcov format:
