[Drupal][Solved] How to draw a collapsible tree diagram using D3 JS with drag and zoom features in Drupal 7 with Javascript?

| | 9 min read

While using the D3 implementation in one of my project for collapsible tree, I used the following piece of codes to add dragging and zooming feature in the tree. At first I have downloaded the D3 JS and loaded to the page callback as specified in the D3 implementation notes.

Some more functions are added in my custom JS for adding drag and zoom functionalities for D3 implementation. The informations are as follows.

  • Load D3 JS using,
    drupal_add_js(libraries_get_path('LIBRARY NAME') . '/--PATH--/d3.js', 'external');
  • Add the following code in the TPL page :
    //------------HTML code-------------------------------
    <div id="data-hierarchy"></div>
  • Use the css code for the tree structure.
    //------------css code--------------------------------
    #data-hierarchy h4{
      padding-left: 1%;
    }
    .node circle {
      fill: #000;
      stroke: steelblue;
      stroke-width: 1.5px;
    }
    
    .node text {
      font-size:10px;
      font-family:sans-serif;
    }
    
    .link {
      fill: none;
      stroke: #ccc;
      stroke-width: 1.5px;
    }
    
    .templink {
      fill: none;
      stroke: red;
      stroke-width: 3px;
    }
    
    .ghostCircle.show{
        display:block;
    }
    
    .ghostCircle, .activeDrag .ghostCircle{
         display: none;
    }
  • Then create another JS file, should contains :
    //Here, I use a sample, JSON code for the array structure.
    var treeData = [ { "name": "Company", "parent": "null", "children": [ { "name": "Manager1", "parent": "Company", "children": [ { "name": "Group", "parent": "Manager1", "children": [ { "name": "Group1", "parent": "Group", "children": [ { "name": "Employee1", "parent": "Group1" }, { "name": "Employee2", "parent": "Group1" }, { "name": "Employee..n", "parent": "Group1" } ] }, { "name": "Group2", "parent": "Group" }, { "name": "Group..n", "parent": "Group" } ] }, { "name": "Team", "parent": "Manager1", "children": [ { "name": "Team1", "parent": "Team", "children": [ { "name": "Employee1", "parent": "Team1" }, { "name": "Employee2", "parent": "Team1" }, { "name": "Employee..n", "parent": "Team1" } ] }, { "name": "Team2", "parent": "Team" }, { "name": "Team..n", "parent": "Team" } ] } ] }, { "name": "Manager2", "parent": "Company" }, { "name": "Manager..n", "parent": "Company" } ] } ]; //--------Code for JSON data to execute------------------------------------- treeData = treeData[0]; // Generate the tree diagram. // Calculate total nodes, max label length var totalNodes = 0; var maxLabelLength = 0; // variables for drag/drop var selectedNode = null; var draggingNode = null; // panning variables var panSpeed = 200; var panBoundary = 20; // Within 20px from edges will pan when dragging. // Misc. variables var i = 0;

  • If you want the dropping functionality in the tree structure, add the following codes in the new node entering to the parent's previous position code portion :
    .call(dragListener)
  • And define the drag and drop listener as :
    
    // Define the drag listeners for drag/drop behaviour of nodes.
    dragListener = d3.behavior.drag()
        .on("dragstart", function(d) {
            if (d == root) {
                return;
            }
            dragStarted = true;
            nodes = tree.nodes(d);
            d3.event.sourceEvent.stopPropagation();
            // it's important that we suppress the mouseover event on the node being dragged. Otherwise it will absorb the mouseover event and the underlying node will not detect it d3.select(this).attr('pointer-events', 'none');
        })
        .on("drag", function(d) {
            if (d == root) {
                return;
            }
            if (dragStarted) {
                domNode = this;
                initiateDrag(d, domNode);
            }
    
            // get coords of mouseEvent relative to svg container to allow for panning
            relCoords = d3.mouse($('svg').get(0));
            if (relCoords[0] < panBoundary) {
                panTimer = true;
                pan(this, 'left');
            } else if (relCoords[0] > ($('svg').width() - panBoundary)) {
    
                panTimer = true;
                pan(this, 'right');
            } else if (relCoords[1] < panBoundary) {

                } catch (e) {
    
                }
            }
    
            d.x0 += d3.event.dy;
            d.y0 += d3.event.dx;
            var node = d3.select(this);
            node.attr("transform", "translate(" + d.y0 + "," + d.x0 + ")");
            updateTempConnector();
        }).on("dragend", function(d) {

            if (selectedNode) {
                // now remove the element from the parent, and insert it into the new elements children.
                var index = draggingNode.parent.children.indexOf(draggingNode);
                if (index > -1) {
                    draggingNode.parent.children.splice(index, 1);
                }
                if (typeof selectedNode.children !== 'undefined' || typeof selectedNode._children !== 'undefined') {
