This is test to see how difficult it would be to add multiple arrows to vis.js timeline view. Can be previewed with https://gistpreview.github.io/?4a6a6feba553e2cbe0396486f157b7bb

This is the same example which is in
"vis/examples/timeline/groups/groups.html" but with multiple added arrows defined in the dependencies.
The original discussion thread is https://github.com/almende/vis/issues/1699.

<div id="visualization"></div>
<script>
const drawArrows = function (i, j, index) {
var line = new LeaderLine(timeline.itemSet.items[i].dom.box, timeline.itemSet.items[j].dom.box)
};
const dependency = [[1, 2], [3, 5], [6, 7], [3, 8]];
const drawDependencies = dependency => {
dependency.map((dep, index) => drawArrows(...dep, index));
};
const options = {
groupOrder: "content", // groupOrder can be a property name or a sorting function
onInitialDrawComplete: function () {
drawDependencies(dependency);
timeline.on("changed", () => {
drawDependencies(dependency);
}); //NOTE: We hijack the on "changed" event to draw the arrow.
}
};
// Generate some
var now = moment()
.minutes(0)
.seconds(0)
.milliseconds(0);
var names = ["John", "Alston", "Lee", "Grant"];
var itemCount = 20;
// create a data set with groups
var groups = new vis.DataSet();
for (var g = 0; g < names.length; g++) {
groups.add({ id: g, content: names[g] });
}
// create a dataset with items
var items = new vis.DataSet();
for (var i = 0; i < itemCount; i++) {
var start = now.clone().add(Math.random() * 200, "hours");
var group = Math.floor(Math.random() * names.length);
items.add({
id: i,
group: group,
content:
"item " +
i +
' <span style="color:#97B0F8;">(' +
names[group] +
")</span>",
start: start,
type: "box"
});
}
// Create visualization.
const container = document.getElementById("visualization");
const timeline = new vis.Timeline(container, items, groups, options);
