How to create Nodes using jsPlumb community edition

Question

I am using the @jsplumb/browser-ui to create some Nodes within my Nuxtjs/Vuejs application like as mentioned in their documentation . But I would like to create the Nodes at run-time. I am unable to do it.

I would like to create the nodes/rectangle shapes whenever the user clicks on the Add Event button. So rather than creating the Nodes static way I would like to create it dynamically/run time based on the button click. I am not understanding how to do it using jsPlumb documentation how to do it as they don't have a specific code sample to achieve the same.

Following is something I would like to achieve:

Code I have so far:

 <template> <div> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-6"> <button class="btn btn-primary btn-sm" @click="addConnector()"> Add Connector </button>&nbsp; <button class="btn btn-primary btn-sm" @click="addNode()"> Add Event </button>&nbsp; <button class="btn btn-success btn-sm" @click="submitEvents()"> Submit </button>&nbsp; </div> </div> <div class="row root"> <div class="col-md-12 body"> <div id="diagram" ref="diagram" class="diagram" style="position: relative; width:100%; height:100%;" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> </template> <script> export default { data () { return { nodeCounter: 0, nodeArray: [], connectorCounter: 0, connectorArray: [], allEventsInfoArray: [] } }, async mounted () { const vm = this if (process.browser) { const JSPlumb = await require('@jsplumb/browser-ui') JSPlumb.ready(function () { const instance = JSPlumb.newInstance({ container: vm.$refs.diagram }) console.log(instance) }) } }, methods: { // On click of Add Node button create the draggable node into the jsPlumb canvas addNode () { // const container = "<button class='btn btn-info' id='container_" + this.nodeCounter + "'></button>" this.nodeCounter++ }, // On click of Add Connector button create the draggable node into the jsPlumb canvas addConnector () { console.log('Add Connector : ') } } } </script> <style scoped> .root { --bg-color: #fff; --line-color-1: #D5D8DC; --line-color-2: #a9a9a9; } .body { height: 100vh; margin: 0; } .diagram { height: 100%; background-color: var(--bg-color); background-image: conic-gradient(at calc(100% - 2px) calc(100% - 2px),var(--line-color-1) 270deg, #0000 0), conic-gradient(at calc(100% - 1px) calc(100% - 1px),var(--line-color-2) 270deg, #0000 0); background-size: 100px 100px, 20px 20px; } </style>

Providing the answer as it can be helpful to someone in the future:

As per the response from contributors GitHub , we won't be able to create the Nodes/Shapes within the Jsplumb community edition .

Instead of Jsplumb , I started using the DrawFlow library which is just awesome and has all the requirements that I needed for my application.
