[![Documentation](https://docs.rs/dear-imnodes/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/dear-imnodes)

Safe, idiomatic Rust bindings for [ImNodes](https://github.com/Nelarius/imnodes) via the [cimnodes](https://github.com/cimgui/cimnodes) C API, aligned with our dear-imgui workspace and BEST_PRACTICES.

- Ui extension: `ui.imnodes(&ctx)` returns a `NodesUi` for the current frame
- Contexts: `Context` (global) and `EditorContext` (per-editor) with `Drop`
- RAII tokens: `editor()`, `node(id)`, `input_attr(id)`, `output_attr(id)`, `static_attr(id)`
- Strongly-typed enums/bitflags for style and attributes
- Helpers: links, selection, node positions, minimap, IO setup

## Quick Start


Basic setup and per-frame usage:

```rust
use dear_imgui_rs::Ui;
use dear_imnodes as imnodes;

 // One-time setup (alongside your ImGui context)
 fn init(imgui_ctx: &dear_imgui_rs::Context) -> (imnodes::Context, imnodes::EditorContext) {
     let nodes_ctx = imnodes::Context::create(imgui_ctx);
     let editor_ctx = nodes_ctx.create_editor_context();
     (nodes_ctx, editor_ctx)
 }

// Per-frame draw
 fn draw(ui: &Ui, nodes_ctx: &imnodes::Context, editor_ctx: &imnodes::EditorContext) {
     let nodes = ui.imnodes(nodes_ctx);
     let editor = nodes.editor(Some(editor_ctx));

    // A simple node with input/output pins
    let _n = editor.node(1).title_bar(|| ui.text("My Node"));
    let _in = editor.input_attr(10, imnodes::PinShape::CircleFilled);
    ui.text("In");
    _in.end();
    let _out = editor.output_attr(11, imnodes::PinShape::QuadFilled);
    ui.text("Out");
    _out.end();

     // Draw a link
     editor.link(100, 10, 11);

     // Optional: Mini-map
     editor.minimap(0.25, imnodes::MiniMapLocation::TopRight);

     // End the editor and handle post-editor interactions
     let post = editor.end();
     if let Some(link) = post.is_link_created() {
         // link.start_attr, link.end_attr, link.from_snap
     }
 }
 ```

### IO and Interaction


Bind common shortcuts to ImNodes IO (call while the editor is active):

```rust
// Ctrl to detach links; multi-select via Shift; emulate 3-button mouse with Alt
editor.enable_link_detach_with_ctrl();
editor.enable_multiple_select_with_shift();
editor.emulate_three_button_mouse_with_alt();

// Misc IO tweaks
editor.set_alt_mouse_button(1);            // e.g. MouseRight
editor.set_auto_panning_speed(200.0);
```

### Styling


Use presets or fine-tune values. You can push scoped styles/colors (RAII) or set persistent style:

```rust
// Presets
editor.style_colors_dark();

// Push a color for this scope
let _color = editor.push_color(imnodes::ColorElement::Link, [0.9, 0.3, 0.3, 1.0]);

// Push a style var for this scope
let _sv = editor.push_style_var(
    imnodes::StyleVar::LinkThickness,
    imnodes::style::StyleVarValue::Float(3.0),
);

// Persistent style
editor.set_grid_spacing(32.0);
editor.set_node_corner_rounding(6.0);

// Read/Write a style color (persistent)
let link_rgba = editor.get_color(imnodes::ColorElement::Link);
editor.set_color(imnodes::ColorElement::GridLinePrimary, [0.6, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0]);
```

### Node Positions and Queries


 ```rust
 // Position nodes (grid/editor/screen space helpers available)
 editor.set_node_pos_grid(1, [100.0, 120.0]);
 let size = editor.get_node_dimensions(1); // [w, h]

 // End the editor before running post-editor queries
 let post = editor.end();
 if post.is_editor_hovered() { /* ... */ }
 if let Some(node_id) = post.hovered_node() { /* ... */ }
 if post.is_attribute_active() { /* ... */ }
 ```

### Selection and Link Lifecycle


 ```rust
 let post = editor.end();

 // Selection helpers
 let selected_nodes = post.selected_nodes();
 let selected_links = post.selected_links();

 // Link lifecycle
 if let Some(created) = post.is_link_created_with_nodes() {
     // created.start_node, created.start_attr, created.end_node, created.end_attr, created.from_snap
 }
 if let Some(link_id) = post.is_link_destroyed() {
     // handle removal
 }
 ```

### Saving/Loading Editor State


 Use `EditorContext` to persist per-editor state across sessions, or use post-editor helpers for the current editor:

 ```rust
 // Per-editor state (no active frame required)
 let bound = nodes_ctx.bind_editor(editor_ctx);
 let s = bound.save_state_to_ini_string();
 bound.load_state_from_ini_string(&s);
 bound.save_state_to_ini_file("nodes.ini");
 bound.load_state_from_ini_file("nodes.ini");

 // Or directly after ending a frame
 let post = editor.end();
 let s2 = post.save_state_to_ini_string();
 post.load_state_from_ini_string(&s2);
 post.save_state_to_ini_file("nodes.ini");
 ```
