It's a simple and direct organization chart plugin. Anytime you want a tree-like chart, you can turn to OrgChart.
#Native javascript version of orgchart is coming soon 😊#
- First of all, thanks a lot for wesnolte's great work:blush: -- jOrgChart. The thought that using nested tables to build out the tree-like orgonization chart is amazing. This idea is more simple and direct than its counterparts based on svg.
- Unfortunately, it's long time not to see the update of jOrgChart. on the other hand, I got some interesting ideas to add, so I choose to create a new repo.
- Font Awesome provides us with administration icon, second level menu icon and loading spinner.
- Supports both local data and remote data (JSON).
- Smooth expand/collapse effects based on CSS3 transitions.
- Align the chart in 4 orientations.
- Allows user to change orgchart structure by drag/drop nodes.
- Allows user to edit orgchart dynamically and save the final hierarchy as a JSON object.
- Supports exporting chart as a picture.
- Supports pan and zoom
- Users can adopt multiple solutions to build up a huge organization chart(please refer to multiple-layers or hybrid layout sections)
- touch-enabled plugin for mobile divice
Of course, you can directly use the standalone build by including dist/js/jquery.orgchart.js and dist/css/jquery.orgchart.css in your webapp.
# From version 1.0.2 on, users can install orgchart and add it to bower.json dependencies
$ bower install orgchart
# From version 1.0.4 on, users can install orgchart with npm
$ npm install orgchart
require('orgchart') will load orgchart plugin onto the jQuery object. The orgchart module itself does not export anything.
- using ul datasource(this feature comes from Tobyee's good idea:blush:)
<!-- wrap the text node with <a href="#"> , <span>, blabla is also OK. Note:text node must immediately follow the <li> tag, with no intervening characters of any kind. -->
<ul id="ul-data">
<li>Lao Lao
<ul>
<li>Bo Miao</li>
<li>Su Miao
<ul>
<li>Tie Hua</li>
<li>Hei Hei
<ul>
<li>Pang Pang</li>
<li>Xiang Xiang</li>
</ul>

$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : $('#ul-data')
});
// sample of core source code
var datasource = {
'name': 'Lao Lao',
'title': 'general manager',
'children': [
{ 'name': 'Bo Miao', 'title': 'department manager' },
{ 'name': 'Su Miao', 'title': 'department manager',
'children': [
{ 'name': 'Tie Hua', 'title': 'senior engineer' },
{ 'name': 'Hei Hei', 'title': 'senior engineer' }
]
},
{ 'name': 'Hong Miao', 'title': 'department manager' },
{ 'name': 'Chun Miao', 'title': 'department manager' }
]
};
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : datasource,
'depth': 2,
'nodeContent': 'title'
});

I wanna align orgchart with different orientation(this feature comes from the good idea of fvlima and badulesia 😊)
Top to Bottom -- default direction, as you can see all other examples on this page.
// sample of core source code
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : datasource,
'nodeContent': 'title',
'direction': 'b2t'
});
// sample of core source code
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : datasource,
'nodeContent': 'title',
'direction': 'l2r'
});
// sample of core source code
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : datasource,
'nodeContent': 'title',
'direction': 'r2l'
});
// sample of core source code
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : datasource,
'nodeContent': 'title',
'toggleSiblingsResp': true
});
// sample of core source code
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : '/orgchart/initdata',
'depth': 2,
'nodeContent': 'title'
});
Note: when users use ajaxURL option to build orghchart, they must use json datasource(both local and remote are OK) and set the relationship property of datasource by themselves. All of these staff are used to generate the correct expanding/collapsing arrows for nodes.
// sample of core source code
var datasource = {
'id': '1',
'name': 'Su Miao',
'title': 'department manager',
'relationship': '111',
'children': [
{ 'id': '2','name': 'Tie Hua', 'title': 'senior engineer', 'relationship': '110' },
{ 'id': '3','name': 'Hei Hei', 'title': 'senior engineer', 'relationship': '111' }
]
};
var ajaxURLs = {
'children': '/orgchart/children/',
'parent': '/orgchart/parent/',
// It would be helpful to have functions instead of URLs for the AJAX fetching
// as it would allow a more flexible treatment of the results.
'siblings': function(nodeData) {
return '/orgchart/siblings/' + nodeData.id;
},
'families': function(nodeData) {
return '/orgchart/families/' + nodeData.id;
}
};
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : datasource,
'ajaxURL': ajaxURLs,
'nodeContent': 'title',
'nodeId': 'id'
});
// sample of core source code
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : datasource,
'depth': 2,
'nodeContent': 'title',
'nodeID': 'id',
'createNode': function($node, data) {
var secondMenuIcon = $('<i>', {
'class': 'fa fa-info-circle second-menu-icon',
click: function() {
$(this).siblings('.second-menu').toggle();
}
});
var secondMenu = '<div class="second-menu"><img class="avatar" src="../img/avatar/' + data.id + '.jpg"></div>';
$node.append(secondMenuIcon).append(secondMenu);
}
});
Here, we need the help from html2canvas.
// sample of core source code
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : datasource,
'depth': 2,
'nodeContent': 'title',
'exportButton': true,
'exportFilename': 'MyOrgChart'
});
Here, we fall back on OpenLayers. It's the most aewsome open-source js library for Web GIS you sholdn't miss.
// sample of core source code
var map = new ol.Map({
layers: [
new ol.layer.Tile({
source: new ol.source.Stamen({
layer: 'watercolor'
}),
preload: 4
}),
new ol.layer.Tile({
source: new ol.source.Stamen({
layer: 'terrain-labels'
}),
preload: 1
})
],
target: 'pageBody',
view: new ol.View({
center: ol.proj.transform([-87.6297980, 41.8781140], 'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857'),
zoom: 10
})
});
$('body').prepend(map.getViewport());
var datasource = {
'name': 'Lao Lao',
'title': 'President Office',
'position': [-87.6297980, 41.8781140],
'children': [
{ 'name': 'Bo Miao', 'title': 'Administration Dept.', 'position': [-83.0457540, 42.3314270]},
{ 'name': 'Yu Jie', 'title': 'Product Dept.', 'position': [-71.0588800, 42.3600820]},
{ 'name': 'Yu Tie', 'title': 'Marketing Dept.', 'position': [-80.1917900, 25.7616800] }
]
};
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : datasource,
'nodeContent': 'title',
'createNode': function($node, data) {
$node.on('click', function() {
var view = map.getView();
var duration = 2000;
var start = +new Date();
var pan = ol.animation.pan({
duration: duration,
source: view.getCenter(),
start: start
});
var bounce = ol.animation.bounce({
duration: duration,
resolution: 4 * view.getResolution(),
start: start
});
map.beforeRender(pan, bounce);
view.setCenter(ol.proj.transform(data.position, 'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857'));
});
}
});
With the help of exposed core methods(addParent(), addSiblings(), addChildren(), removeNodes()) of orgchart plugin, we can finish this task easily.
// sample of core source code
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : datasource,
'exportButton': true,
'exportFilename': 'SportsChart',
'parentNodeSymbol': 'fa-th-large',
'createNode': function($node, data) {
$node.on('click', function(event) {
if (!$(event.target).is('.edge')) {
$('#selected-node').val(data.name).data('node', $node);
}
});
}
})
.on('click', '.orgchart', function(event) {
if (!$(event.target).closest('.node').length) {
$('#selected-node').val('');
}
});
$('#btn-add-nodes').on('click', function() {
var nodeVals = [];
$('#new-nodelist').find('.new-node').each(function(index, item) {
var validVal = item.value.trim();
if (validVal.length) {
nodeVals.push(validVal);
}
});
var $node = $('#selected-node').data('node');
var nodeType = $('input[name="node-type"]:checked');
if (nodeType.val() === 'parent') {
$('#chart-container').orgchart('addParent', $('#chart-container').find('.node:first'), { 'name': nodeVals[0] });
} else if (nodeType.val() === 'siblings') {
$('#chart-container').orgchart('addSiblings', $node,
{ 'siblings': nodeVals.map(function(item) { return { 'name': item, 'relationship': '110' }; })
});
} else {
var hasChild = $node.parent().attr('colspan') > 0 ? true : false;
if (!hasChild) {
var rel = nodeVals.length > 1 ? '110' : '100';
$('#chart-container').orgchart('addChildren', $node, {
'children': nodeVals.map(function(item) {
return { 'name': item, 'relationship': rel };
})
}, $.extend({}, $('#chart-container').data('orgchart').options, { depth: 0 }));
} else {
$('#chart-container').orgchart('addSiblings', $node.closest('tr').siblings('.nodes').find('.node:first'),
{ 'siblings': nodeVals.map(function(item) { return { 'name': item, 'relationship': '110' }; })
});
}
}
});
$('#btn-delete-nodes').on('click', function() {
var $node = $('#selected-node').data('node');
$('#chart-container').orgchart('removeNodes', $node);
$('#selected-node').data('node', null);
});
Users are allowed to drag & drop the nodes of orgchart when option "draggable" is assigned to true(Note: this feature doesn't work on IE due to its poor support for HTML5 drag & drop API).
Furthermore, users can make use of option dropCriteria to inject their custom limitations on drag & drop. As shown below, we don't want an manager employee to be under a engineer under no circumstance.
// sample of core source code
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : datasource,
'nodeContent': 'title',
'draggable': true,
'dropCriteria': function($draggedNode, $dragZone, $dropZone) {
if($draggedNode.find('.content').text().indexOf('manager') > -1 && $dropZone.find('.content').text().indexOf('engineer') > -1) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
})
That's where getHierarchy() comes in.
<ul id="ul-data">
<li id="1">Lao Lao
<ul>
<li id="2">Bo Miao</li>
<li id="3">Su Miao
<ul>
<li id="4">Tie Hua</li>
<li id="5">Hei Hei
<ul>
<li id="6">Pang Pang</li>
<li id="7">Xiang Xiang</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : $('#ul-data')
});
$('#btn-export-hier').on('click', function() {
var hierarchy = $('#chart-container').orgchart('getHierarchy');
$(this).after('<pre>').next().append(JSON.stringify(hierarchy, null, 2));
});
It's a so easy task, we just need to append id or className property to node data.
var datasource = {
'name': 'Lao Lao',
'title': 'general manager',
'className': 'top-level',
'children': [
{ 'name': 'Bo Miao', 'title': 'department manager', 'className': 'middle-level',
'children': [
{ 'name': 'Li Jing', 'title': 'senior engineer', 'className': 'bottom-level' },
{ 'name': 'Li Xin', 'title': 'senior engineer', 'className': 'bottom-level' }
]
}
};
.orgchart .top-level .title {
background-color: #006699;
}
.orgchart .top-level .content {
border-color: #006699;
}
.orgchart .middle-level .title {
background-color: #009933;
}
.orgchart .middle-level .content {
border-color: #009933;
}
.orgchart .bottom-level .title {
background-color: #993366;
}
.orgchart .bottom-level .content {
border-color: #993366;
}
In fact, this is a wonderful solution to display a orgchart which includes a huge number of node data.
This feature is inspired by the issues(Aligning Children Vertical, Hybrid(horizontal + vertical) OrgChart). Thank mfahadi and Destructrix for their constructive suggestions:blush:
From now on, users never have to worry about how to align a huge of nodes in one screen of browser. The option "verticalDepth" allows users to align child nodes vertically from the given depth.
Note: currently, this option is incompatible with many other options or methods, like direction, drag&drop, addChildren(), removeNodes(), getHierarchy() and so on. These conflicts will be solved one by one in the later versions.
// sample of core source code
$('#chart-container').orgchart({
'data' : datasource,
'nodeContent': 'title',
'verticalDepth': 3 // From the 3th level of orgchart, nodes will be aligned vertically.
});
$('#chartContainerId').orgchart(options);
{
'id': 'rootNode', // It's a optional property which will be used as id attribute of node
// and data-parent attribute, which contains the id of the parent node
'className': 'top-level', // It's a optional property which will be used as className attribute of node.
'nodeTitlePro': 'Lao Lao',
'nodeContentPro': 'general manager',
'relationship': relationshipValue, // Note: when you activate ondemand loading nodes feature,
// you should use json datsource (local or remote) and set this property.
// This property implies that whether this node has parent node, siblings nodes or children nodes.
// relationshipValue is a string composed of three "0/1" identifier.
// First character stands for wether current node has parent node;
// Scond character stands for wether current node has siblings nodes;
// Third character stands for wether current node has children node.
'children': [ // The property stands for nested nodes. "children" is just default name you can override.

Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
data | json or string | yes | datasource usded to build out structure of orgchart. It could be a json object or a string containing the URL to which the ajax request is sent. | |
pan | boolean | no | false | Users could pan the orgchart by mouse drag&drop if they enable this option. |
zoom | boolean | no | false | Users could zoomin/zoomout the orgchart by mouse wheel if they enable this option. |
direction | string | no | "t2b" | The available values are t2b(implies "top to bottom", it's default value), b2t(implies "bottom to top"), l2r(implies "left to right"), r2l(implies "right to left"). |
verticalDepth | integer | no | Users can make use of this option to align the nodes vertically from the specified depth. | |
toggleSiblingsResp | boolean | no | false | Once enable this option, users can show/hide left/right sibling nodes respectively by clicking left/right arrow. |
ajaxURL | json | no | It inclueds four properites -- parent, children, siblings, families(ask for parent node and siblings nodes). As their names imply, different propety provides the URL to which ajax request for different nodes is sent. | |
depth | positive integer | no | 999 | It indicates the level that at the very beginning orgchart is expanded to. |
nodeTitle | string | no | "name" | It sets one property of datasource as text content of title section of orgchart node. In fact, users can create a simple orghcart with only nodeTitle option. |
parentNodeSymbol | string | no | "fa-users" | Using font awesome icon to imply that the node has child nodes. |
nodeContent | string | no | It sets one property of datasource as text content of content section of orgchart node. | |
nodeId | string | no | "id" | It sets one property of datasource as unique identifier of every orgchart node. |
createNode | function | no | It's a callback function used to customize every orgchart node. It recieves two parament: "$node" stands for jquery object of single node div; "data" stands for datasource of single node. | |
exportButton | boolean | no | false | It enable the export button for orgchart. |
exportFilename | string | no | "Orgchart" | It's filename when you export current orgchart as a picture. |
chartClass | string | no | "" | when you wanna instantiate multiple orgcharts on one page, you should add diffent classname to them in order to distinguish them. |
draggable | boolean | no | false | Users can drag & drop the nodes of orgchart if they enable this option. **Note**: this feature doesn't work on IE due to its poor support for HTML5 drag & drop API. |
dropCriteria | function | no | Users can construct their own criteria to limit the relationships between dragged node and drop zone. Furtherly, this function accept three arguments(draggedNode, dragZone, dropZone) and just only return boolen values. |
I'm sure that you can grasp the key points of the methods below after you try out demo -- edit orgchart.

How can I deactivate expand/collapse feature of orgchart?
This use case is inspired by the issue. Thanks der-robert and ActiveScottShaw for their constructive discussions:blush:
Users can enable/disable exapand/collapse feature with className "noncollapsable" as shown below.
$('.orgchart').addClass('noncollapsable'); // deactivate
$('.orgchart').removeClass('noncollapsable'); // activate
How can I search nodes and show the minimized chart?
This use case is inspired by the issue. Thanks Mmannem for his constructive discussions:blush: The following statements show the core logic and this is the complete demo - filter node.
var $chart = $('.orgchart');
// disalbe the expand/collapse feture
$chart.addClass('noncollapsable');
// distinguish the matched nodes and the unmatched nodes according to the given key word
$chart.find('.node').filter(function(index, node) {
return $(node).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(keyWord) > -1;
}).addClass('matched')
.closest('table').parents('table').find('tr:first').find('.node').addClass('retained');
// hide the unmatched nodes
$chart.find('.matched,.retained').each(function(index, node) {
var $unmatched = $(node).closest('table').parent().siblings().find('.node:first:not(.matched,.retained)')
.closest('table').parent().addClass('hidden');
$unmatched.parent().prev().children().slice(1, $unmatched.length * 2 + 1).addClass('hidden');
});
// hide the redundant descendant nodes of the matched nodes
$chart.find('.matched').each(function(index, node) {
if (!$(node).closest('tr').siblings(':last').find('.matched').length) {
$(node).closest('tr').siblings().addClass('hidden');
}
});
Why is the root node gone?
When I have a huge orgchart with enabled "pan" option, if I hide all the children of one of the topmost parents then the chart disappear from screen. It seems that we need to add a reset button to keep the chart visible. For details, please refer to the issue opened by manuel-84 😊
Users can embed any clear up logics into the click handler of the reset buttton as shown below.
$('.orgchart').css('transform',''); // remove the tansform settings
- Chrome 19+
- Firefox 4+
- Safari 6+
- Opera 15+
- IE 10+
We thank JordiCorbilla😊 for his sharing how to save datasource after chart editing.
