##Overview of the original Plugin

Follow me @sselvamani22

jQuery OrgChart is a plugin that allows you to render structures with nested elements in a easy-to-read tree structure. To build the tree all you need is to make a single line call to the plugin and supply the HTML element Id for a nested unordered list element that is representative of the data you'd like to display. If drag-and-drop is enabled you'll be able to reorder the tree which will also change the underlying list structure. This orgChart will support on json. I used taffydb for querying the json data.

Features include:

• Very easy to use given a nested unordered list element.
• Drag-and-drop functionality allows reordering of the tree and underlying <ul> structure.
• Showing/hiding a particular branch of the tree by clicking on the respective node.
• Nodes can contain any amount of HTML except <li> and <ul>.
• Easy to style.
• Now you can add nodes!
• You can edit existing nodes labels.
• Now you can delete nodes.

##Differences

• You can specify that sub-trees should start collapsed, which is useful for very large trees.
• You can add more extra node from top right side box.
• When you delete node from orgchart it will add to extra node place.
• When you hover the node it will show some additional data.
• Different color will display on different rows.

##Expected Markup & Example Usage

To get up and running you'll need a few things.

---

###The JavaScript Libraries & CSS

You need to include the jQuery as well as the jOrgChart libraries. For example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.jOrgChart.js"></script>

If you want to use the drag-and-drop functionality you'll need to include jQuery UI too:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.9/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

The core CSS is necessary to perform some of the basic styling i.e.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery.jOrgChart.css"/>

For handle the json code you need to add taffydb

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/taffy.js"></script>

---

###The HTML

You'll need to construct a nest unordered list that represents your node nesting. For example:

<ul id="org" style="display:none">

</ul>

If you want to add more node then you need to include this code in body

<ul id="upload-chart">
	<li id="Albert" class="node child"><span class="label_node"><a href="#">Albert</a><br><i>Data Architect</i> </span><div class="details"><p><strong>rank:</strong>Vice President</p><p><strong>department:</strong>Research and Development</p></div></li>
	<li id="Moser" class="node child"><span class="label_node"><a href="#">Moser</a><br><i>technical engineer </i></span><div class="details"><p><strong>rank:</strong>Manager</p><p><strong>department:</strong>IT</p></div></li>
	<li id="Meinert" class="node child"><span class="label_node"><a href="#">Meinert</a><br><i>Maintenance Service Engineer</i></span><div class="details"><p><strong>rank:</strong>Vice President</p><p><strong>department:</strong>Research and Development</p></div></li>
	<li id="Mic" class="node child"><span class="label_node"><a href="#">Mic</a><br><i>Chairman of the Board, President</i></span><div class="details"><p><strong>rank:</strong>Manager</p><p><strong>department:</strong>IT</p></div></li>
</ul>

if you dont want to display drag extra node then you can handle this using either css or jquery

This plugin works by generating the tree as a series of nested tables. Each node in the tree is represented with <div class="node">. You can include any amount of HTML markup in your <li> except for other <ul> or <li> elements. Your markup will be used within the node's <div> element. Any classes you attach to the <li> elements will be copied to the associated node, allowing you to highlight particular parts of the tree. The special collapsed class described above doesn't get copied to the node.

---

###The jQuery Call Add this function somewhere in your document:

function init_tree(){
  var opts = {
    chartElement : '#chart', //your tree container
    dragAndDrop  : true
  };
  $("#chart").html(""); //clean your container
  $("#org").jOrgChart(opts); //creates the jOrgChart
}

And the cherry on the top is the usual call on document load of the function you just make. For example:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    init_tree();
});

In order to preserve adding, editing and deleting nodes capabilities, please leave the jquery events listeners for .edit, .del, .add, #edit_node, #add_node. Of course, you can alter these methods to fit your requirements.

This call will append the markup for the OrgChart to the <body> element by default, but you can specify this as part of the options.

##Demo Page

Demo of the code is available here here. https://condescending-brown-cc77ea.netlify.app

##Configuration

Here the below configurations.

1. chartElement - used to specify which HTML element you'd like to append the OrgChart markup to. [default='body']
2. depth - tells the code what depth to parse to. The default value of "-1" instructs it to parse like it's 1999. [default=-1]
3. chartClass - the name of the style class that is assigned to the generated markup. [default='jOrgChart']
4. dragAndDrop - determines whether the drag-and-drop feature of tree node elements is enabled. [default=false]
5. expand - To view the expand and collapse button on parent nodes. [default=false]
6. control - Enable options to ADD, EDIT and DELETE the nodes. [default=false]
7. rowcolor - Display the nodes on different color based upon rows. [default=true]
