What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Draw a button-click sequence as a flowchart in the browser and export it as runnable JavaScript for your frontend app

USE CASE 2

Model complex backend Node.js logic visually before writing the actual code

USE CASE 3

Prototype multi-step user interactions using the drag-and-drop canvas and then embed the exported config in your project

So what is it?

iMove is a visual flowchart tool for JavaScript developers that converts diagrams into runnable code. The idea is that you draw a flow chart on a canvas, attach code to each node in the diagram, and the tool exports a configuration file (called a DSL) that can then be executed in your project. This way, complex logic can be mapped out visually rather than written purely in code. The README is primarily in Chinese, but the English description and tool labels are clear. The library has two main parts: the canvas application (where you draw and configure the diagram) and a separate SDK that reads the exported configuration and runs the logic in your actual application. You start a local server, draw your flow in the browser, write a small function for each node, then export and embed the result. The described use cases span frontend interactions (like button click sequences and component lifecycle hooks), backend Node.js flows, and combinations of both. Nodes can be reused across diagrams, and the system supports plugins to add custom node types. This project is marked inactive. The README header says "INACTIVE" and the GitHub description repeats it. The underlying graph drawing engine comes from Ant Design's X6 library. The code is MIT licensed.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
How does iMove convert a flowchart drawn in the browser into runnable JavaScript using its DSL export format?
Prompt 2
Set up iMove locally, draw a simple two-step flow with a condition branch, and export it to use in a Node.js project.
Prompt 3
What is the difference between the iMove canvas application and the iMove SDK, and how do they connect at runtime?
Prompt 4
How do I create a custom node type in iMove with a plugin to represent a specific action in my application?
Prompt 5
Show me how to embed an iMove exported DSL file in a React app and trigger it on a button click.
