SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates tRPC-backed flow editing for ChainGraph's visual editor backend, reducing manual wiring and boilerplate when building or enhancing flow-based apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Flow CRUD: Create, read, update, and delete flows with robust metadata and versioning.
  • Node/Edge Operations: Add, move, connect, and organize nodes and edges within flows.
  • Port Management: Update port values and UI metadata, including object port fields and nested configurations.
  • Real-Time Subscriptions: Subscribe to flow events for live UI synchronization in editors and dashboards.
  • Locking & Versioning: Optimistic locking ensures deterministic updates and safe concurrent edits in multi-user environments.

Quick Start

Start by wiring the tRPC client to the Flow editing router in apps/chaingraph-backend and invoke create/get/list operations to initialize a sample flow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate tRPC flow editing for a visual editor backend?

You can automate tRPC flow editing by implementing a tRPC server structure with routers and procedures that handle flow CRUD, node operations, and edge connections in backend applications. This reduces manual wiring and boilerplate when building flow-based apps.

What is optimistic locking and how does it support multi-user flow editing?

Optimistic locking ensures deterministic updates during multi-user flow editing by preventing conflicting concurrent modifications. It requires a PostgreSQL-backed flow store with versioning to safely manage simultaneous edits in shared visual editor environments.

How do I set up real-time subscriptions for tRPC flow events?

Real-time subscriptions for tRPC flow events are set up within the tRPC server structure, enabling live UI synchronization in editors and dashboards. You subscribe to flow events to receive immediate updates when nodes, edges, or ports change.

Can I manage nested port configurations using tRPC procedures?

Yes, port management via tRPC procedures allows you to update port values and UI metadata, including object port fields and nested configurations. This handles complex port structures within nodes for detailed flow customization.

Do I need PostgreSQL to implement version control for tRPC flows?

Yes, a PostgreSQL-backed flow store is required to implement version control and locking for tRPC flows. This database foundation supports deterministic updates and safe concurrent edits across multi-user environments.

What's the best way to handle node and edge operations in a flow-based backend?

The best way to handle node and edge operations is through tRPC procedures that add, move, connect, and organize elements within flows. This approach provides structured CRUD operations with robust metadata and versioning support.
