🟦 TypeScript Bindings¶

Official TypeScript interfaces for the Visualli specification. These bindings provide type-safe interfaces corresponding to the JSON Schema.

Use them to validate, create, and serialize valid .visualli data programmatically in any TypeScript project.

Installation¶

npm install @visualli/bindings

Usage¶

These types are purely for type-checking and interface implementation. They do not include parsing logic.

import { Layer, Node, VisualliFragment } from '@visualli/bindings';

// Create typed objects
const node: Node = {
  id: 'node-1',
  position: { x: 0, y: 0 },
  data: { 
    label: 'Central Idea',
    summary: 'A short description of the core concept'
  }
};

const layer: Layer = {
  type: 'layer',
  id: 'layer-1',
  level: 0,
  nodes: [node],
  connections: [],
  containers: []
};

// Type narrowing
function processFragment(fragment: VisualliFragment) {
  if (fragment.type === 'meta') {
    console.log('Version:', fragment.version);
  } else if (fragment.type === 'layer') {
    console.log('Layer Level:', fragment.level);
  }
}

Development¶

The TypeScript interfaces are generated automatically from the master JSON Schema.

If you are contributing to the spec, do not edit this file directly. Instead: 1. Modify visualli.schema.json at the repo root. 2. Run make generate to update the interfaces.

For more details on the build process, see the Contributing guide.
