I am creating a desktop application using NodeWebKit, sails.js, and AngularJS where users can create documents and add flowcharts, diagrams, etc., similar to draw.io and Gliffy, which allows a user to create a flowchart by dragging and dropping from the sidebar.

Are there a JavaScript library which allows me to do that?

• javascript
• node.js
• vector
• sails.js
• draw

• I am actually looking for using d3 to simulate draw.io – Luk Aron Commented Feb 27, 2021 at 22:48

For the same reason I created Diagramo. It's open source and it might fit your need.

D3.js would be a good starting point if you are going to code the functionality yourself. It allows you to manipulate SVG images with the use of data.

There are many graph drawing libraries available.

Even the library that draw.io is based on is available mercially.

My personal remendation would be the yFiles for HTML JavaScript graph drawing library library, though, which to the best of my knowledge is the most feature plete mercially available library of that kind.

_{I work for the pany that creates said library, so you may find my opinion biased. I do not represent my employer here on Stack Overflow, though. This is my own opinion.}

The underlying library to draw.io is available on GitHub.
