nodeqmindmap 2.3.0

Python port of nodeq-mindmap: MindMapNode data model and ETL pipeline engine

nodeq-mindmap

Interactive D3.js mind map visualization library with a built-in ETL pipeline engine. Render career maps, org charts, or any hierarchical JSON data in the browser, and define data transformation pipelines in code.

Features

• Universal JSON rendering — any JSON object is automatically converted to a mind map
• Interactive — click to expand/collapse nodes, zoom, pan
• Themeable — control colors, font, node size
• Framework agnostic — works with React, Vue, Angular, or vanilla JS
• ETL pipeline engine — define input/output schemas, track transformation rules, and execute pipelines in memory
• Pipeline visualization — render an active pipeline as a mind map to explore its structure
• CLI — generate SVG files from JSON on the command line (headless via jsdom)

Installation

npm install nodeq-mindmap

D3 v7 is a peer dependency:

npm install d3

Quick Start

Browser / bundler

import { NodeQMindMap } from 'nodeq-mindmap';

const map = new NodeQMindMap({
  container: '#my-container',   // CSS selector or HTMLElement
  data: {
    topic: 'Software Engineer',
    children: [
      { topic: 'Frontend', skills: ['React', 'TypeScript'] },
      { topic: 'Backend',  skills: ['Node.js', 'PostgreSQL'] },
    ]
  },
  width: 900,
  height: 600,
  onNodeClick: (node) => console.log(node.topic),
});

map.render();

Any JSON shape

JsonSchemaAdapter.convertToStandard() converts arbitrary JSON into the MindMapNode tree format before rendering:

import { NodeQMindMap, JsonSchemaAdapter } from 'nodeq-mindmap';

const raw = { name: 'My API', version: '2.0', routes: ['/users', '/posts'] };
const data = JsonSchemaAdapter.convertToStandard(raw);

new NodeQMindMap({ container: '#root', data }).render();

API

new NodeQMindMap(config)

Option	Type	Default	Description
container	string | HTMLElement	required	CSS selector or DOM element
data	any	required	Hierarchical data (see MindMapNode)
width	number	800	SVG width in px
height	number	600	SVG height in px
theme	Partial<Theme>	—	Colors, font, fontSize
interactive	boolean	true	Enable click/hover
zoomable	boolean	true	Enable pan/zoom
collapsible	boolean	true	Click nodes to collapse
onNodeClick	(node) => void	—	Click callback
onNodeHover	(node) => void	—	Hover callback

Instance methods

map.render()                    // Draw the mind map
map.updateData(data)            // Replace data and re-render
map.updateTheme(theme)          // Merge theme and re-render
map.exportSVG()                 // Return SVG markup string
map.destroy()                   // Remove SVG from DOM

// Pipeline helpers
await map.createDataPipeline(name, inputSample, outputSample, options?)
map.executePipeline(inputData)
map.getAllPipelines()
map.switchToPipeline(pipelineId)

MindMapNode shape

interface MindMapNode {
  topic: string;          // Node label (required)
  summary?: string;       // Subtitle shown in detail panels
  skills?: string[];      // Tag list
  children?: MindMapNode[];
}

Theme options

{
  nodeColor: string;       // default '#4299e1'
  textColor: string;       // default '#2d3748'
  linkColor: string;       // default '#a0aec0'
  backgroundColor: string; // default '#ffffff'
  fontSize: number;        // default 14
  fontFamily: string;      // default 'Arial, sans-serif'
}

Pipeline Engine

PipelineEngine is a standalone class for defining and running in-memory ETL pipelines. It does not require a browser.

import { PipelineEngine } from 'nodeq-mindmap';

const engine = new PipelineEngine();

const pipeline = await engine.createPipeline(
  'User ETL',
  { format: 'json', schema: { id: 'number', name: 'string' }, data: { id: 1, name: 'Alice' } },
  { format: 'json', schema: { userId: 'number', displayName: 'string' }, data: { userId: 1, displayName: 'Alice' } }
);

const result = engine.executePipeline(pipeline.id, { id: 2, name: 'Bob' });
// { processed: true, data: { id: 2, name: 'Bob' }, timestamp, pipelineId }

console.log(engine.generatePipelineCode(pipeline.id));
// Outputs a TypeScript function stub for the pipeline

PipelineEngine methods

createPipeline(name, inputSample, outputSample, options?)  // async, returns PipelineConfig
updatePipeline(id, inputSample?, outputSample?)            // async
executePipeline(id, inputData)                             // sync, returns result object
getPipeline(id)                                            // returns PipelineConfig | undefined
getAllPipelines()                                           // returns PipelineConfig[]
getPipelineStats(id)                                       // returns perf stats
generatePipelineCode(id)                                   // returns TS function stub

CLI

# Generate an SVG mind map from a JSON file
npx nodeq-mindmap generate -i data.json -o output.svg

# Create a pipeline definition from input/output samples
npx nodeq-mindmap create-pipeline -n "My ETL" -i input.json -o output.json

The generate command uses jsdom to run D3 headlessly — no browser required.

Ports

Server-side / language-specific ports of the data model and pipeline engine are available:

• Go — packages/go/ — MindMapNode, PipelineEngine, JsonSchemaAdapter as a Go module
• Python — packages/python/ — MindMapNode, PipelineEngine, JsonSchemaAdapter as Python dataclasses

These ports implement the same data structures and pipeline logic without the D3 visualization layer.
