Custom Event Triggers

Description

Override the default triggers for zooming, dragging, and connection creation when your editor shares gestures with the rest of the page or needs power-user shortcuts. Custom triggers let the app decide exactly when an interaction should start.

Example

[component.html] <<< https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Foblex/f-flow/main/projects/f-examples/advanced/custom-event-triggers/custom-event-triggers.component.html [component.ts] <<< https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Foblex/f-flow/main/projects/f-examples/advanced/custom-event-triggers/custom-event-triggers.component.ts [component.scss] <<< https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Foblex/f-flow/main/projects/f-examples/advanced/custom-event-triggers/custom-event-triggers.component.scss [common.scss] <<< https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Foblex/f-flow/main/projects/f-examples/_flow-common.scss

Trigger examples

Each trigger is a function that receives FTriggerEvent and returns boolean.

This page demonstrates three common patterns:

  • fWheelTrigger: zoom only while Ctrl is pressed.
  • fNodeMoveTrigger: drag nodes only while Shift is pressed.
  • fCreateConnectionTrigger: allow connection creation only while F is pressed.

Supported trigger points

  • fZoom: fWheelTrigger, fDblClickTrigger
  • fDraggable: fReassignConnectionTrigger, fCreateConnectionTrigger, fNodeResizeTrigger, fNodeMoveTrigger, fCanvasMoveTrigger, fExternalItemTrigger, fMultiSelectTrigger
  • f-selection-area: fTrigger
