OrgChart

With the help of DOM, jQuery and CSS3 transition, we got a simple and direct organization chart plugin.

Notes

• First of all, thanks a lot for wesnolte's great work -- jOrgChart. The thought that using nested tables to build out the tree-like orgonization chart is amazing. This idea is more simple and direct than its counterparts based on svg.
• Unfortunately, it's long time not to see the update of jOrgChart. on the other hand, I don't think "drag and drop" functinality is necessary for organization chart plugin, because in real life, there is no such unsecure demand that allowing users to change company's organization chart randomly with manual mode. We all konw the importance and seriousness of a organization chart for a company. Due to all these stuff, I choose to create a new repo.
• Font Awesome provides us with administration icon, second level menu icon and loading spinner.

Demo

• using local datasource

// sample of core source code
var datascource = {
  'name': 'Lao Lao',
  'title': 'general manager',
  'relationship': '001',
  'children': [
    { 'name': 'Bo Miao', 'title': 'department manager', 'relationship': '110' },
    { 'name': 'Su Miao', 'title': 'department manager', 'relationship': '111',
      'children': [
        { 'name': 'Tie Hua', 'title': 'senior engineer', 'relationship': '110' },
        { 'name': 'Hei Hei', 'title': 'senior engineer', 'relationship': '110' }
      ]
    },
    { 'name': 'Yu Jie', 'title': 'department manager', 'relationship': '110' }
  ]
};
    
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
  'data' : datascource,
  'depth': 2,
  'nodeTitle': 'name',
  'nodeContent': 'title'
});

• I wanna load datasource through ajax

// sample of core source code
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
  'data' : '/orgchart/initdata',
  'depth': 2,
  'nodeTitle': 'name',
  'nodeContent': 'title'
});

• I wanna load data on-demand

// sample of core source code
var datascource = {
  'id': '1',
  'name': 'Su Miao',
  'title': 'department manager',
  'relationship': '111',
  'children': [
    { 'id': '2','name': 'Tie Hua', 'title': 'senior engineer', 'relationship': '110' },
    { 'id': '3','name': 'Hei Hei', 'title': 'senior engineer', 'relationship': '111' }
  ]
};

var ajaxURLs = {
  'children': '/orgchart/children/',
  'parent': '/orgchart/parent/',
  'siblings': '/orgchart/siblings/',
  'families': '/orgchart/families/' 
};

$('#chart-container').orgchart({
  'data' : datascource,
  'ajaxURL': ajaxURLs,
  'nodeTitle': 'name',
  'nodeContent': 'title',
  'nodeId': 'id'
});

• I wanna customize the structure of node

// sample of core source code
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
  'data' : datascource,
  'depth': 2,
  'nodeTitle': 'name',
  'nodeContent': 'title',
  'nodeID': 'id',
  'createNode': function($node, data) {
    var secondMenuIcon = $('<i>', {
      'class': 'fa fa-info-circle second-menu-icon',
      click: function() {
        $(this).siblings('.second-menu').toggle();
      }
    });
    var secondMenu = '<div class="second-menu"><img class="avatar" src="../img/avatar/' + data.id + '.jpg"></div>';
    $node.append(secondMenuIcon).append(secondMenu);
  }
});

• I wanna export the organization chart as a picture

Here, we need the help from html2canvas.

// sample of core source code
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
  'data' : datascource,
  'depth': 2,
  'nodeTitle': 'name',
  'nodeContent': 'title',
  'exportButton': true,
  'exportFilename': 'MyOrgChart'
});

• I wanna itegrate organization chart with geographic information

Here, we fall back on OpenLayers. It's the most aewsome open-source js library for Web GIS you sholdn't miss.

// sample of core source code
var map = new ol.Map({
  layers: [
    new ol.layer.Tile({
      source: new ol.source.Stamen({
        layer: 'watercolor'
      }),
      preload: 4
    }),
    new ol.layer.Tile({
      source: new ol.source.Stamen({
        layer: 'terrain-labels'
      }),
      preload: 1
    })
  ],
  target: 'pageBody',
  view: new ol.View({
    center: ol.proj.transform([-87.6297980, 41.8781140], 'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857'),
    zoom: 10
  })
});
$('body').prepend(map.getViewport());

var datascource = {
  'name': 'Lao Lao',
  'title': 'President Office',
  'relationship': '001',
  'position': [-87.6297980, 41.8781140],
  'children': [
    { 'name': 'Bo Miao', 'title': 'Administration  Dept.', 'relationship': '110', 'position': [-83.0457540, 42.3314270]},
    { 'name': 'Yu Jie', 'title': 'Product Dept.', 'relationship': '110', 'position': [-71.0588800, 42.3600820]},
    { 'name': 'Yu Tie', 'title': 'Marketing Dept.', 'relationship': '110', 'position': [-80.1917900, 25.7616800] }
  ]
};

$('#chart-container').orgchart({
  'data' : datascource,
  'nodeTitle': 'name',
  'nodeContent': 'title',
  'createNode': function($node, data) {
    $node.on('click', function() {
      var view = map.getView();
      var duration = 2000;
      var start = +new Date();
      var pan = ol.animation.pan({
        duration: duration,
        source:  view.getCenter(),
        start: start
      });
      var bounce = ol.animation.bounce({
        duration: duration,
        resolution: 4 * view.getResolution(),
        start: start
      });
      map.beforeRender(pan, bounce);
      view.setCenter(ol.proj.transform(data.position, 'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857'));
    });
  }
});

Usage

Instantiation Statement

$('#chartContainerId').orgchart(options);

Structure of Datasource

{
  'nodeTitlePro': 'Lao Lao',
  'nodeContentPro': 'general manager',
  'relationship': relationshipValue, // The property implies that whether this node has parent node, siblings nodes or children nodes. "relationship" is just default name you can override.
  // relationshipValue is a string composed of three "0/1" identifier.
  // First character stands for wether current node has parent node;
  // Scond character stands for wether current node has siblings nodes;
  // Third character stands for wether current node has children node.
  'children': [ // The property stands for nested nodes. "children" is just default name you can override.
    { 'nodeTitlePro': 'Bo Miao', 'nodeContentPro': 'department manager', 'relationship': '110' },
    { 'nodeTitlePro': 'Su Miao', 'nodeContentPro': 'department manager', 'relationship': '111',
      'children': [
        { 'nodeTitlePro': 'Tie Hua', 'nodeContentPro': 'senior engineer', 'relationship': '110' },
        { 'nodeTitlePro': 'Hei Hei', 'nodeContentPro': 'senior engineer', 'relationship': '110' }
      ]
    },
    { 'nodeTitlePro': 'Yu Jie', 'nodeContentPro': 'department manager', 'relationship': '110' }
  ],
  'otherPro': anyValue
};

Options

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
data	json or string	yes		datasource usded to build out structure of orgchart. It could be a json object or a string containing the URL to which the ajax request is sent.

depth	positive integer	no	999	It indicates the level that at the very beginning orgchart is expanded to.
nodeRelationship	string	no	"relationship"	It sets one property of datasource as a identifier which implies whether current node has parent node, siblings nodes or children nodes.

nodeId	string	no		It sets one property of datasource as unique identifier of every orgchart node.
createNode	function	no		It's a callback function used to customize every orgchart node. It recieves two parament: "$node" stands for jquery object of single node div; "data" stands for datasource of single node.
exportButton	boolean	no	false	It enable the export button for orgchart.
exportFilename	string	no	"Orgchart"	It's filename when you export current orgchart as a picture.
chartClass	string	no		when you wanna instantiate multiple orgcharts on one page, you should add diffent classname to them in order to distinguish them.
