autoflow-graphviz

autoflow-graphviz is a plugin for autoflow, the flow control rules engine, which can use graphviz to generate flow diagrams for the dependencies

For more information on autoflow the lightweight flow control rules engine: http://github.com/jeffbski/autoflow

Goals

Generate graphviz diagrams for flow definitions that:

  • show relationship between inputs, tasks, and outputs
  • show dependencies between inputs, outputs, and other preconditions
  • create PNG, PDF, GIF, or DOT files in a designated directory

Prerequisites

  • Install graphviz on your system - http://www.graphviz.org/
  • React 0.5.2+ is needed because it exposes the events needed by autoflow-graphviz

Installing

First install the open source graphviz software if not already installed on your system. You can find all about it at http://www.graphviz.org/ It can be downloaded or installed via a package manager.

For example:

brew install graphviz  # mac OS X 
apt-get install graphviz  # ubuntu and debian linux 

This should put graphviz binaries on your path, autoflow-graphviz uses dot, so make sure that dot is on your path, then you can install autoflow-graphviz.

    npm install autoflow-graphviz   # install locally 

OR

    npm install -g autoflow-graphviz  # installs globally 

OR

Pull from github - http://github.com/jeffbski/autoflow-graphviz

Example

# if you installed locally 
node_modules/bin/autoflow-graphviz JSFilePath
# OR if using globally
