Defining a Graph

A graph is a collection of nodes that define the flow of your application. The graph is defined in JSON format and can be created using the Graph Editor or by writing it manually.

Here’s an example of how a Graph should look like:

{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "type": "lifecycle/onStart",
      "id": "0",
      "flows": {
        "flow": {
          "nodeId": "1",
          "socket": "flow"
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "debug/log",
      "id": "1",
      "parameters": {
        "text": {
          "value": "Hello World!"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Each node has a type and an id. The type is the name of the node and the id is a unique identifier for the node.

The nodes are connected using flows. Each node has a flows property that is an object with the name of the flow as the key and the value is an object with the nodeId and the socket of the node that the flow is connected to.

The nodes can also accept an arbitrary number of parameters. Each parameter can have a value or a link to another node’s output.

The syntax to define a link is:

"parameters": {
  "text": {
    "link": {
      "nodeId": "1",
      "socket": "result"
    }
  }
}
