# UEBlueprint

A stand alone editor implementation of the UE's Blueprint visual language.

## Features:

- Intercommunicates with UE (can copy nodes both ways).
- Can be used as a WEB library to visualize and interact with Blueprint graphs.
- Can be used inside VS Code to operate directly on files from a UE project (in the future).
- Graph shown is pixel-similar to how it appears in UE.
- Graph behaves the same way as it does in UE (with the default settings).
- All the information shown in he graph is just the one embedded in the serialized text.

## Getting started:

### Run locally
1) Open a terminal in the main folder.
2) Run the following commands.
```sh
npm install
npm run build
npx http-server
```
3) Open the link you see in the last message printed.

### Use in a web page

You can check `index.html` for a working example, the main steps are the following:
1. Include `dist/css/ueb-style.css` stylesheet in your page.
2. Define eventual CSS variables.
```HTML
<style>
    ueb-blueprint {
        --ueb-height: 500px;
    }
</style>
```
3. Import the class Blueprint in JavaScript (this library uses modules).
```HTML
<script type="module">
    import { Blueprint } from "./dist/ueblueprint.js"
</script>
```
4. Define your blueprint by just writing the code inside a `ueb-blueprint`, inside a `template` element.
```HTML
<ueb-blueprint>
    <template>
        ...                   
    </template>
</ueb-blueprint>
```
