Layout Core

The @mindfiredigital/adac-layout-core package is the brains behind ADAC's structural understanding of your architecture diagrams.

Overview​

Unlike standard graph rendering tools, ADAC must understand complex, nested hierarchies (e.g., A Subnet inside a VPC inside an AWS Region). The layout-core module implements these algorithms.

Features​

  • Schema Validation: Ensures the inputted YAML strictly adheres to the ADAC specification.
  • Graph Normalization: Resolves implicit relationships and parses the graph into a flat array of nodes and edges with hierarchical markers.
  • Optimizer: Applies a set of layout heuristics to make the diagram readable before handing it off to the renderer.

Usage​

You can use layout-core programmatically to validate and optimize ADAC specifications before building your own renderers.

import { validate, optimize } from '@mindfiredigital/adac-layout-core';

const isValid = validate(myYamlContent);
const optimizedGraph = optimize(myYamlContent);
