I am using the mermaid library to create Flowcharts. When I am using static data to create a sample chart it's working completely fine. But as soon as I try to replace the static data with my fetched data the chart breaks and instead of showing the chart it prints out the graph syntax.
This is my code:
<template>
<div>
<VueMermaid
type="graph TD"
:nodes="dataChart"
/>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import axios from "axios";
import VueMermaid from "../../components/FlowchartComponent.vue";
export default {
components: {
VueMermaid
},
data() {
return {
dataChart:[
{id:'0',text:'Node0', next:['1']},
{id:'1',text:'Node1',next:['2','3', '4', '5']},
{id:'2',text:'Node2', next:['6']},
{id:'3',text:'Node3', next:['6']},
{id:'4',text:'Node4', next:['6']},
{id:'5',text:'Node5', next:['6']},
{id:'6',text:'Node6'}
]
}
},
setup() {
let dataList = [];
axios.get(`link_to_API`)
.then((data) => {
console.log(data);
console.log("tasks", data.data.tasks[0]);
console.log("tasks_id", data.data.tasks[0].task_id);
console.log("downstream", data.data.tasks[0].downstream_task_ids[0]);
let selection1 = data.data.tasks;
//create for each task an item in dataList with id, name of node and next node name
for (let z in selection1){
let item={id: "", text: "", next:""};
item.id=z;
item.text=data.data.tasks[z].task_id;
item.next=data.data.tasks[z].downstream_task_ids;
dataList.push(item);
// console.log("item", item);
}
console.log("dataList", dataList);
// replace in dataList for each item the value of next (string) with the id of the node that has the same string as text
for(let i in dataList){
console.log("dataList[i].next", dataList[i].next);
for(let h in dataList[i].next){
console.log("dataNext einzeln", dataList[i].next[h]);
let obj = dataList.find(o => o.text === dataList[i].next[h]);
console.log("obj", obj);
// console.log("obj.id", obj.id);
dataList[i].next[h] = obj.id;
}
}
console.log("newdataList", dataList);
});
return {
dataList
}
},
// Component should only be built when fetched data is ready
async created(){
await axios.get(`link_to_API`);
console.log("this.dataChart", this.dataChart);
//replace values of dataChart with values of dataList
this.dataChart = this.dataList;
console.log("this.dataChart", this.dataChart);
}
}
</script>
<style scoped>
</style>
The FlowchartComponent I am using contains the code that is used in the vue-mermaid library: https://github.com/robin1liu/vue-mermaid/blob/master/src/vue-mermaid.vue and the mermaidjs library itself has been installed via npm.
The expected outcome of the code would be a usual mermaif flowchart. This works as long as I only use the dataChart in the data() return{}. But as soon as I try to change that data like I did it in the mounted(), I get something like this:
graph TD 0[Node0]-->1[Node1] 1[Node1]-->2[Node2] 1[Node1]-->3[Node3] 1[Node1]-->4[Node4] 1[Node1]-->5[Node5] 2[Node2]-->7[Node7] 3[Node3]-->7[Node7] 4[Node4]-->7[Node7] 5[Node5]-->7[Node7] 7[Node7]
Does anyone know why that happens?
