graph

The graph of dependencies for BEM entities.

NPM Status

Introduction

Graph allows you to create an ordered dependencies list for the specified BEM entities and technologies.

Try graph

An example is available in the RunKit editor.

Quick start

Attention. To use @bem/sdk.graph, you must install Node.js 8.0+.

To run the @bem/sdk.graph package:

Installing the @bem/sdk.graph package

To install the @bem/sdk.graph package, run the following command:

$ npm install --save @bem/sdk.graph

Creating an empty graph

Create a JavaScript file with any name (for example, app.js) and insert the following:

const { BemGraph } = require('@bem/sdk.graph');
const graph = new BemGraph();

Note. Use the same file for all of the following steps.

Creating vertices

Create new vertices for the blocks a and b:

graph.vertex({ block: 'a'});

graph.vertex({ block: 'b'});

Setting dependencies by using the dependsOn() function

Assume that block a depends on block b. This means that block b has some code that must be imported before the block a code.

Let's also say that block b depends on block c:

graph.vertex({ block: 'a'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'b'});

graph.vertex({ block: 'b'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'c'});

If you are familiar with the @bem/sdk.deps package, dependsOn() adds the mustDeps link.

Getting the dependencies of a block

So block a depends on block b, and block b depends on block c. If we want to compile block a, we need to import the code of block c first, then import the code of block b, and only then use the code of block a.

The dependenciesOf() function will return entity names to us in the correct order:

graph.dependenciesOf({ block: 'a'})
// => [
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'c'}},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'b'}},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'a'}}
// ]

Setting dependencies by using the linkWith() function

Let's say that block b also depends on block d, but it doesn't matter when the code from block d is imported (before or after block b).

Change the code to set this dependency for the block b vertex.

app.js:

const { BemGraph } = require('@bem/sdk.graph');
const graph = new BemGraph();

graph.vertex({ block: 'a'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'b'});

graph.vertex({ block: 'b'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'c'})
    .linkWith({ block: 'd'});

graph.dependenciesOf({ block: 'a'})
// => [
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'c'}},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'b'}},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'a'}},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'd'}}
// ]

In the dependencies list, block d will be added to any position randomly.

If you are familiar with the @bem/sdk.deps package, linkWith() adds the shouldDeps link.

API reference

BemGraph.vertex()

Registers a new vertex for the specified BEM entity and technology.

/**
 * @typedef BemEntityName
 * @property {string} block — Block name.
 * @property {string} [elem] — Element name.
 * @property {string|Object} [mod] — Modifier name or object with name and value.
 * @property {string} mod.name — Modifier name.
 * @property {string} [mod.val=true] — Modifier value.
 */

/**
 * @param {BemEntityName} entity — Representation of the BEM entity name.
 * @param {string} [tech] — Tech of the BEM entity.
 * @returns {BemGraph.Vertex} — A created vertex with methods that allow you to link it with other vertices.
 */
BemGraph.vertex(entity, tech)

Example:

const { BemGraph } = require('@bem/sdk.graph');
const graph = new BemGraph();

graph.vertex({ block: 'my-block', elem: 'my-element', mod: 'my-modifier'}, 'css');

BemGraph.Vertex.linkWith()

Creates an unordered link between contained and passed vertices.

/**
 * @param {BemEntityName} entity — Representation of the BEM entity name.
 * @param {string} [tech] — Tech of the BEM entity.
 */
BemGraph.Vertex.linkWith(entity, tech)

Example:

const { BemGraph } = require('@bem/sdk.graph');
const graph = new BemGraph();

graph.vertex({ block: 'a'})
    .linkWith({ block: 'b'});

BemGraph.Vertex.dependsOn()

Creates an ordered link between contained and passed vertices.

/**
 * @param {BemEntityName} entity — Representation of the BEM entity name.
 * @param {string} [tech] — Tech of the BEM entity.
 */
BemGraph.Vertex.dependsOn(entity, tech)

Example:

const { BemGraph } = require('@bem/sdk.graph');
const graph = new BemGraph();

graph.vertex({ block: 'a'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'b'});

BemGraph.dependenciesOf()

Creates an ordered list of the entities and technologies.

For each object passed in the cells parameter, a new BemCell object will be created using the create() function from the @bem/sdk.cell package.

/**
 * @param {Object|Array} cells — One or more objects to create BEM cells for and get the dependencies list for.
 * @param {string} cells.block — Block name.
 * @param {string} cells.elem — Element name.
 * @param {string|object} cells.mod — Modifier name or object with name and value.
 * @param {string} cells.mod.name — Modifier name.
 * @param {string} cells.mod.val — Modifier value.
 * @param {string} cells.tech — Tech of cell.
 * @return {Array} — Ordered list of the entities and technologies.
 */
BemGraph.dependenciesOf(cells)

Example:

const { BemGraph } = require('@bem/sdk.graph');
const graph = new BemGraph();

graph.vertex({ block: 'a'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'b'});

graph.dependenciesOf();

BemGraph.naturalize()

Creates "natural" links between registered vertices:

BemGraph.naturalize()

See an example of using this function in the Naturalize graph section.

Parameters tuning

Specify a technology for the created vertex

When you create a new vertex you can specify the technology.

graph.vertex({ block: 'a'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'b'});

graph.vertex({ block: 'a'}, 'css')
    .dependsOn({ block: 'c'});

This code means that only block a with the CSS technology depends on block c. If you get the dependencies list for block a with another technology or without any technology, block c will not be in this list.

const { BemGraph } = require('@bem/sdk.graph');
const graph = new BemGraph();

graph.vertex({ block: 'a'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'b'});

graph.vertex({ block: 'a'}, 'css')
    .dependsOn({ block: 'c'});

graph.dependenciesOf({ block: 'a'});
// => [
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'b'}},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'a'}},
// ]

graph.dependenciesOf({ block: 'a'}, 'js');
// => [
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'b'}, 'tech': 'js'},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'a'}, 'tech': 'js'}
// ]

graph.dependenciesOf({ block: 'a'}, 'css');
// => [
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'c'}, 'tech': 'css'},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'b'}, 'tech': 'css'},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'a'}, 'tech': 'css'}
// ]

RunKit live example.

Specify a technology for the dependency

When you set a dependency for the created vertex you can specify the technology.

graph.vertex({ block: 'a'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'b'}, 'js');

graph.vertex({ block: 'b'}, 'css')
    .dependsOn({ block: 'common-css'});

graph.vertex({ block: 'b'}, 'js')
    .dependsOn({ block: 'common-js'});

This code means that block a depends on block b with the js technology. The dependencies list for block a will include the common-js block, but won't include the common-css block.

const { BemGraph } = require('@bem/sdk.graph');
const graph = new BemGraph();

graph.vertex({ block: 'a'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'b'}, 'js');

graph.vertex({ block: 'b'}, 'css')
    .dependsOn({ block: 'common-css'});

graph.vertex({ block: 'b'}, 'js')
    .dependsOn({ block: 'common-js'});

graph.dependenciesOf({ block: 'a'});
// => [
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'common-js'}, 'tech': 'js'},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'b'}, 'tech': 'js'},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'a'}}
// ]

RunKit live example.

Naturalize graph

Let's say you create a new vertex for the blocks a and b and set block a to depend on the block element b__el.

const { BemGraph } = require('@bem/sdk.graph');
const graph = new BemGraph();

graph.vertex({ block: 'a'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'b', elem: 'el'});

graph.vertex({ block: 'b'});

graph.dependenciesOf({block: 'a'});
// => [
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'b', elem: 'el'}},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'a'}}
// ]

graph.naturalize();
graph.dependenciesOf({block: 'a'});
// => [
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'b'}},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'b', elem: 'el'}},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'a'}}
// ]

In this code, calling the graph.naturalize() function works the same way as the following code:

graph.vertex({ block: 'b', elem: `el` })
    .dependsOn({ block: 'b'});

Get dependencies for the list of cells

You can get the dependencies list for multiple cells. To do this, create an array of cells and pass this array to the dependenciesOf() function.

const { BemGraph } = require('@bem/sdk.graph');
const graph = new BemGraph();

graph.vertex({ block: 'a'})
    .linkWith({ block: 'b'});

graph.vertex({ block: 'c'}, 'js')
    .dependsOn({ block: 'd'});

const cells  = [
    { block: 'a'},
    { block: 'c', tech: 'js'}
]

// Create a BEM cell for each object in the `cells` array and get the dependencies list for these objects.
graph.dependenciesOf(cells);
// => [
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'a'}},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'd'}},
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'c'}}
//     { 'entity': { 'block': 'b'}}
// ]

Usage examples

Create a Header dependencies list

The BEM methodology provides an example of a typical Header.

Let's create a graph and get the dependencies list for the Head block from this example.

const { BemGraph } = require('@bem/sdk.graph');
const BemCell = require('@bem/sdk.cell');
const graph = new BemGraph();

graph.vertex({ block: 'head'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'menu'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'logo'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'search'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'auth'});

graph.vertex({ block: 'search'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'input', mod: 'search-input'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'button', mod: 'search-button'});

graph.vertex({ block: 'menu'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'tab', elem: 'tab1'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'tab', elem: 'tab2'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'tab', elem: 'tab3'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'tab', elem: 'tab4'});

graph.vertex({ block: 'auth'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'input', elem: 'login'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'input', elem: 'password'})
    .dependsOn({ block: 'button', mod: 'sign-in'});

// Register remaining vertices to naturalize the graph.
graph.vertex({ block: 'input'});
graph.vertex({ block: 'button'});
graph.vertex({ block: 'tab'});
graph.naturalize();

graph.dependenciesOf({ block: 'head'}).map(c => BemCell.create(c).id).join('\n');
// => tab
// tab__tab1
// tab__tab2
// tab__tab3
// tab__tab4
// menu
// logo
// input
// input_search-input
// button
// button_search-button
// search
// input__login
// input__password
// button_sign-in
// auth
// head
