Vue-cwl current and future features for Workflow creation and editing

[neurorepro]

Vue-cwl sounds like a promising tool, are the following features implemented or planned ?

• creation of a workflow by adding single tasks from a menu and connecting them
• editing of a workflow by removing/adding tasks and removing/adding connections
• database connections to define what are the workflows initial inputs

Hi, thanks for posting this.

The way these projects relate is that https://github.com/rabix/cwl-svg underlies both this library and also the composer: https://github.com/rabix/composer. cwl-svg (and therefore vue-cwl) supports viewing and editing of workflows, but creating new tasks and specifying inputs is a more specialised task that's only implemented in the composer. Since you need these features, I suggest you create a project that either imports from the composer or else you actually fork that project (which may be easier). Notably the composer is written in TypeScript so you can use it in a web app without any additional work: the native app is built through Electron but you needn't do this if you don't want.
