API Documentation

##Class CoggleApi The Coggle API client.

###Constructor Create a new instance of the Coggle API client.

Example:

new CoggleApi({token:user_auth_token})

Parameters:

• options type: Object
  Possible Options:
  • token, required: API user authentication token

###Method listDiagrams() Lists diagrams accessible to the authorised user.

Parameters:

• options type: Object
  Possible Options:
  • organisation: The organisation to fetch diagrams for. (If undefined, the authenticated user's personal Coggles will be retrieved)
• callback type: Function
  Callback accepting (Error, [Array of CoggleApiDiagram])

###Method createDiagram() Create a new Coggle diagram.

Parameters:

• title type: String
  Title for the created diagram.
• callback type: Function
  Callback accepting (Error, CoggleApiDiagram)

##Class CoggleApiDiagram Coggle API Diagram object.

###Constructor Create a new instance of a Coggle API Diagram object.

Parameters:

• coggle_api type: CoggleApi
  The API client used for accessing this diagram.
• diagram_resource type: Object
  Diagram Resource object, with at least _id and title fields

###Method webUrl() Return the web URL for accessing this diagram.

###Method getNodes() Get all of the nodes (branch elements) in a Diagram.

Parameters:

• callback type: Function
  Callback accepting (Error, [Array of CoggleApiNode])

###Method arrange() Rearrange the nodes in this diagram. Use with care!

This function performs a server-side re-arrangement of all of the items in the diagram. It will attempt to make sure no items overlap, and to space things out evenly, it is not guaranteed to produce the same result when called with the same parameters.

Use of this function is generally discouraged, for the same reason that an auto-arrange function isn't provided in the web interface to Coggle: the placement of items can convey meaning, and if your program understands relationships in the data (such as a natural ordering, or that some sibling branches are more closely associated than others), then you should make use of that information to perform a custom layout.

Parameters:

• callback type: Function
  Callback accepting (Error, [Array of CoggleApiNode])

##Class CoggleApiNode Coggle API Node object, which represents individual parts("nodes") of the branches in a Coggle diagarm

###Constructor Create a new instance of a Coggle API Node object.

Parameters:

• coggle_api_diagram type: CoggleApiDiagram
  The Diagram in which this node belongs.
• node_resource type: Object
  Node Resource object, with at least _id (String), text (String), and offset ({x:Number, y:Number}) fields.

###Method addChild() Add a child to this item. The child is positioned relative to this item, and will move when you move this item.

Parameters:

• text Text to add for the item.
• offset type: Object: {x:Number, y:Number}
  Offset of the new item from this one. The x coordinate is along the branch direction, the y coordinate is vertically down from the top of the document.
• callback type: Function
  Callback accepting (Error, CoggleApiNode)

###Method update() Update the properties of this node

Parameters:

• properties type: Object: {text:String, offset:{x:Number, y:Number}, parent:String}
  Omitted properties are unmodified.

• offset type: Object {x:Number, y:Number}
  New position to set
• callback type: Function
  Callback accepting (Error, CoggleApiNode)

###Method remove() Remove this node, and all nodes descended from it.
