MiniMap plugin

v0.2.11+

Used to help quickly develop a small map feature, the small map consists of two parts, one is the current canvas content, and the other is the viewport frame. When zoomed, moved, or there are too many elements, the canvas may only display part of the mind map content. The viewport frame can be used to view the current viewport location, and can be quickly positioned by dragging on the small map.

Register

js
import MindMap from 'simple-mind-map'
import MiniMap from 'simple-mind-map/src/plugins/MiniMap.js'
// import MiniMap from 'simple-mind-map/src/MiniMap.js' Use this path for versions below v0.6.0

MindMap.usePlugin(MiniMap)

After registration and instantiation of MindMap, the instance can be obtained through mindMap.miniMap.

Methods

calculationMiniMap(boxWidth, boxHeight)

"Calculate the rendering data for the small map, this function will call the getMiniMap() method, so using this function is sufficient.

boxWidth: the width of the small map container

boxHeight: the height of the small map container

Function return content:

js
{
      getImgUrl,// v0.8.0+, An asynchronous function that you can call and pass a callback function. The callback function can receive a parameter representing a small map of the image type, and you can render it through the img tag
      svgHTML, // Mini map HTML, it is recommended to use the getImgUrl method to obtain image type mini maps, reduce the number of page DOM, and optimize performance
      viewBoxStyle, // view box position information
      miniMapBoxScale, // view box zoom value
      miniMapBoxLeft, // view box left value
      miniMapBoxTop, // view box top value
}

Small map idea:

1.Prepare a container element container, position is not static

If using rich text editing mode, it is best to remove the default style from the elements inside the 'container', otherwise there may be text offset issues within nodes:

css
.container * {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

2.In container, create a small map container element miniMapContainer, absolute positioning

3.In container, create a view box element viewBoxContainer, absolute positioning, set border style, transition property (optional)

4.Listen for data_change and view_data_change events, and in this event call the calculationMiniMap method to get calculation data, then render svgHTML to the miniMapContainer element and set miniMapContainer element style:

js
:style="{
    transform: `scale(${miniMapBoxScale})`,
    left: miniMapBoxLeft + 'px',
    top: miniMapBoxTop + 'px',
}"

5.Set the viewBoxStyle object as the style of the viewBoxContainer element

At this point, when the mind map on the canvas changes, the small map will also be updated in real time, and the view box element will reflect the position of the viewport on the mind map graph in real time

6.Listen for the mousedown, mousemoveevents of the container element, And listen for the 'mouseup' event of the 'window' (if 'mouseup' is bound to the 'container' element, the entire dragging behavior of the 'container' element cannot be stopped when the mouse is moved out), and call the three methods that will be introduced below to achieve the effect of the mind map on the canvas being dragged with the mouse

7.In v0.10.2+version, it supports dragging and dropping viewport boxes within the mini map to achieve synchronized dragging of the canvas, Implementing this feature can listen to the 'mousedown' of the 'viewBoxContainer' element(Need to prevent bubbles, otherwise it will trigger the 'mousedown' event of the 'container' element)、mousemove event, Call the 'onViewBoxMousedown' and 'onViewBoxMousemove' methods of the mini map plugin instance separately, At the same time, it is necessary to listen for the 'mini_map_view_box_position_change' event to update the viewBoxContainer element in real-time

onMousedown(e)

Small map mouse down event executes this function.

e: event object

onMousemove(e, sensitivityNum = 5)

This function is executed on the small map mouse move event.

e: event object

sensitivityNum: drag sensitivity, the higher the sensitivity, the greater the actual canvas dragging distance on the small map when dragging the same distance on the small map.

onMouseup()

This function is executed on the small map mouse release event.

onViewBoxMousedown(e)

v0.10.2+

Call this method for the viewport box element mouse down event.

onViewBoxMousemove(e)

v0.10.2+

Call this method for the mouse movement event of the viewport box element.
