CRUD Procedures

Create Flow

File: packages/chaingraph-trpc/server/procedures/flow/flow-create.ts:13-37

export const create = authedProcedure
  .input(z.object({
    name: z.string(),
    description: z.string().optional(),
    tags: z.array(z.string()).optional(),
  }))
  .mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
    const userId = ctx.session?.user?.id
    if (!userId) {
      throw new Error('User not authenticated')
    }

    const flow = await ctx.flowStore.createFlow({
      name: input.name,
      description: input.description,
      createdAt: new Date(),
      updatedAt: new Date(),
      tags: input.tags,
      ownerID: userId,
      forkRule: FORK_DENY_RULE,
      schemaVersion: 'v2',
    })

    return flow.metadata
  })

Get Flow

File: packages/chaingraph-trpc/server/procedures/flow/flow-get.ts:12-23

export const get = flowContextProcedure

    }
    return flow  // Full flow with nodes, edges
  })

List Flows

File: packages/chaingraph-trpc/server/procedures/flow/flow-list.ts:14-67

Returns metadata only (efficient for list views):

export const list = authedProcedure
  .query(async ({ ctx }) => {
    const userId = ctx.session?.user?.id
    if (!userId) {
      throw new Error('User not authenticated')
    }

    const flows = await ctx.flowStore.listFlows(
      userId,
      'updatedAtDesc',  // Sort by last modified
      defaultFlowLimit,
    )

    // Compute canFork for each flow
    return flows.map(flow => ({
      ...flow.metadata,
      canFork: safeApplyJsonLogic(flow.forkRule, {
        userId,
        isOwner: flow.ownerID === userId,
      }),
    }))
  })

      const flow = await ctx.flowStore.getFlow(input.flowId)
      if (!flow) {
        throw new Error(`Flow ${input.flowId} not found`)
      }

      // Update metadata fields
      if (input.name !== undefined) flow.metadata.name = input.name
      if (input.description !== undefined) flow.metadata.description = input.description
      if (input.tags !== undefined) flow.metadata.tags = input.tags
      flow.metadata.updatedAt = new Date()

      await ctx.flowStore.updateFlow(flow)
      return flow.metadata
    } finally {
      await ctx.flowStore.unlockFlow(input.flowId)
    }
  })

    position: z.object({ x: z.number(), y: z.number() }),
    metadata: z.object({
      title: z.string().optional(),
      description: z.string().optional(),
      category: z.string().optional(),
      tags: z.array(z.string()).optional(),
    }).optional(),
    portsConfig: z.map(z.string(), z.any()).optional(),
  }))
  .mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
    await ctx.flowStore.lockFlow(input.flowId)

    try {
      const flow = await ctx.flowStore.getFlow(input.flowId)
      if (!flow) {
        throw new Error(`Flow ${input.flowId} not found`)
      }

      // 1. Generate node ID
      const nodeId = `NO${generateShortId(16)}`

      // 2. Create node from registry
      const node = ctx.nodeRegistry.createNode(input.nodeType, nodeId)

      // 3. Initialize ports (with optional config)
      if (input.portsConfig) {
        for (const [portId, config] of input.portsConfig) {
          const port = node.getPort(portId)
          if (port) {
            const deserializedConfig = PortPluginRegistry.deserializeConfig(config)
            port.setConfig(deserializedConfig)
          }
        }
      }

      // 4. Set metadata
      node.metadata = {

        ...input.metadata,
        ui: {
          position: input.position,
        },
      }

      // 5. Add to flow → triggers NodesAdded event
      await flow.addNode(node)

      // 6. Set status → triggers NodeUpdated event
      node.setStatus(NodeStatus.Initialized)

      // 7. Persist
      await ctx.flowStore.updateFlow(flow)

      return {
        nodeId: node.id,
        metadata: node.metadata,
      }
    } finally {
      await ctx.flowStore.unlockFlow(input.flowId)
    }
  })

Update Node Position

File: packages/chaingraph-trpc/server/procedures/flow/update-node-position.ts:15-76

    flowId: z.string(),
    nodeId: z.string(),
    x: z.number(),
    y: z.number(),

      if (!flow) throw new Error(`Flow ${input.flowId} not found`)

      const node = flow.getNode(input.nodeId)
      if (!node) throw new Error(`Node ${input.nodeId} not found`)

      // VERSION CONTROL: Check for stale update
      if (node.getVersion() >= input.version) {
        // Client's version is stale - return current state
        return {
          position: node.metadata.ui?.position,
          version: node.getVersion(),
        }
      }

      // Apply update
      node.setPosition(input.x, input.y)
      await flow.updateNode(node)
      await ctx.flowStore.updateFlow(flow)

      return {
        position: { x: input.x, y: input.y },
        version: node.getVersion(),  // New version
      }
    } finally {
      await ctx.flowStore.unlockFlow(input.flowId)
    }
  })

Paste Nodes

File: packages/chaingraph-trpc/server/procedures/flow/paste-nodes.ts:70-end

Complex operation for clipboard paste:

export const pasteNodes = flowContextProcedure
  .input(z.object({
    flowId: z.string(),
    clipboard: z.object({
      nodes: z.array(SerializedNodeSchema),
      edges: z.array(SerializedEdgeSchema),
    }),
    position: z.object({ x: z.number(), y: z.number() }),
  }))
  .mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
    await ctx.flowStore.lockFlow(input.flowId)

    try {
      // 1. Create node ID mapping (old → new)
      const nodeIdMap = new Map<string, string>()
      for (const serializedNode of input.clipboard.nodes) {
        nodeIdMap.set(serializedNode.id, `NO${generateShortId(16)}`)
      }

      // 2. Clone nodes with new IDs
      const newNodes: INode[] = []
      for (const serializedNode of input.clipboard.nodes) {
        const node = deserializeNode(serializedNode)
        node.id = nodeIdMap.get(serializedNode.id)!

        // Adjust position relative to paste point
        node.metadata.ui.position = {
          x: serializedNode.metadata.ui.position.x + input.position.x,
          y: serializedNode.metadata.ui.position.y + input.position.y,
        }

        newNodes.push(node)
      }

      // 3. Rebuild edges with new node IDs
      const newEdges: IEdge[] = []
      for (const serializedEdge of input.clipboard.edges) {
        const newSourceId = nodeIdMap.get(serializedEdge.sourceNodeId)
        const newTargetId = nodeIdMap.get(serializedEdge.targetNodeId)
        if (newSourceId && newTargetId) {
          newEdges.push(createEdge({
            sourceNodeId: newSourceId,
            sourcePortId: serializedEdge.sourcePortId,
            targetNodeId: newTargetId,
            targetPortId: serializedEdge.targetPortId,
          }))
        }
      }

      // 4. Add all to flow (batch)
      await flow.addNodes(newNodes)
      await flow.addEdges(newEdges)
      await ctx.flowStore.updateFlow(flow)

      return { nodeIds: newNodes.map(n => n.id) }
    } finally {
      await ctx.flowStore.unlockFlow(input.flowId)
    }
  })

Edge Operations

Connect Ports

File: packages/chaingraph-trpc/server/procedures/flow/connect-ports.ts:13-73

export const connectPorts = flowContextProcedure
  .input(z.object({
    flowId: z.string(),
    sourceNodeId: z.string(),
    sourcePortId: z.string(),
    targetNodeId: z.string(),
    targetPortId: z.string(),
    metadata: z.object({
      label: z.string().optional(),
      description: z.string().optional(),
    }).optional(),
  }))
  .mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
    await ctx.flowStore.lockFlow(input.flowId)

    try {
      const flow = await ctx.flowStore.getFlow(input.flowId)
      if (!flow) throw new Error(`Flow ${input.flowId} not found`)

      // Validates port compatibility internally
      const edge = await flow.connectPorts(
        input.sourceNodeId,
        input.sourcePortId,
        input.targetNodeId,
        input.targetPortId,
        input.metadata,
      )

      await ctx.flowStore.updateFlow(flow)

      return {
        edgeId: edge.id,
        sourceNodeId: input.sourceNodeId,
        sourcePortId: input.sourcePortId,
        targetNodeId: input.targetNodeId,
        targetPortId: input.targetPortId,
      }
    } finally {
      await ctx.flowStore.unlockFlow(input.flowId)
    }
  })

Update Edge Anchors

File: packages/chaingraph-trpc/server/procedures/edge/update-anchors.ts:18-81

Batch update with version control:

export const updateAnchors = flowContextProcedure
  .input(z.object({
    flowId: z.string(),
    edgeId: z.string(),
    anchors: z.array(EdgeAnchorSchema),
    version: z.number(),
  }))
  .mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
    await ctx.flowStore.lockFlow(input.flowId)

    try {
      const flow = await ctx.flowStore.getFlow(input.flowId)
      const edge = flow?.getEdge(input.edgeId)
      if (!edge) throw new Error(`Edge ${input.edgeId} not found`)

      // VERSION CONTROL
      const currentVersion = edge.metadata.version ?? 0
      if (currentVersion > input.version) {
        return {
          anchors: edge.metadata.anchors,
          version: currentVersion,
          stale: true,  // Signal client to refresh
        }
      }

      // Validate anchors (parent nodes exist, are groups)
      for (const anchor of input.anchors) {
        if (anchor.parentNodeId) {
          const parentNode = flow.getNode(anchor.parentNodeId)
          if (!parentNode || parentNode.metadata.type !== 'groupNode') {
            throw new Error(`Invalid parent node for anchor`)
          }
        }
      }

      // Apply update
      edge.metadata.anchors = input.anchors
      edge.metadata.version = currentVersion + 1
      await flow.updateEdgeMetadata(edge)
      await ctx.flowStore.updateFlow(flow)

      return {
        anchors: edge.metadata.anchors,
        version: edge.metadata.version,
        stale: false,
      }
    } finally {
      await ctx.flowStore.unlockFlow(input.flowId)
    }
  })

Port Operations

Update Port Value

File: packages/chaingraph-trpc/server/procedures/flow/update-port-value.ts:25-81

Uses batch update to prevent multiple events:

export const updatePortValue = flowContextProcedure
  .input(z.object({
    flowId: z.string(),
    nodeId: z.string(),
    portId: z.string(),
    value: z.any(),
  }))
  .mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
    await ctx.flowStore.lockFlow(input.flowId)

    try {
      const flow = await ctx.flowStore.getFlow(input.flowId)
      const node = flow?.getNode(input.nodeId)
      const port = node?.getPort(input.portId)
      if (!port) throw new Error(`Port not found`)

      // START BATCH MODE - collect updates without emitting
      node.startBatchUpdate()

      // Update port value
      port.setValue(input.value)

      // Propagate to parent ports (for nested ports)
      const portsToUpdate = [port]
      let currentPort = port
      while (currentPort.getConfig().parentId) {
        const parentPort = node.getPort(currentPort.getConfig().parentId!)
        if (parentPort) {
          portsToUpdate.push(parentPort)
          currentPort = parentPort
        } else {
          break
        }
      }

      // Collect updates
      node.updatePorts(portsToUpdate)

      // COMMIT - emits all updates at once
      await flow.updateNode(node)
      await ctx.flowStore.updateFlow(flow)

      return { success: true }
    } finally {
      await ctx.flowStore.unlockFlow(input.flowId)
    }
  })

Object Port Field Operations

File: packages/chaingraph-trpc/server/procedures/flow/update-port-value.ts:83-240

// Add field to object port
export const addFieldObjectPort = flowContextProcedure
  .input(z.object({
    flowId: z.string(),
    nodeId: z.string(),
    portId: z.string(),
    key: z.string(),
    fieldConfig: PortConfigSchema,
  }))
  .mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
    // Validates port is object type
    // Checks key doesn't already exist
    // Creates child port via node.addObjectProperty()
    // Triggers PortCreate event
  })

Real-Time Subscription

File: packages/chaingraph-trpc/server/procedures/flow/subscriptions.ts:25-132

Event Sequence on Subscribe

1. FlowInitStart (metadata)           ← Signals start
2. NodesAdded (non-parented nodes)    ← Root nodes first
3. NodesAdded (parented nodes)        ← Child nodes second
4. EdgesAdded (all edges)             ← Then edges
5. FlowInitEnd                        ← Commit signal
6. [future events streamed...]        ← Real-time updates

Implementation

export const subscribeToEvents = flowContextProcedure
  .input(z.object({
    flowId: z.string(),
    eventTypes: z.array(z.nativeEnum(FlowEventType)).optional(),
    lastEventId: z.string().nullish(),
  }))
  .output(zAsyncIterable({
    yield: z.custom<FlowEvent>(),
    tracked: true,
  }))
  .subscription(async function* ({ input, ctx }) {
    const { flowId, eventTypes, lastEventId } = input
    const flow = await ctx.flowStore.getFlow(flowId)

    if (!flow) {
      throw new Error(`Flow with ID ${flowId} not found`)
    }

    let eventIndex = Number(lastEventId) || 0
    const eventQueue = new EventQueue<FlowEvent>(1000)

    try {
      // Subscribe to future events
      const unsubscribe = flow.onEvent(async (event) => {
        if (!isAcceptedEventType(eventTypes, event.type)) return
        await eventQueue.publish(event)
      })

      // 1. FlowInitStart
      yield tracked(String(eventIndex++), newEvent(
        eventIndex, flowId, FlowEventType.FlowInitStart,
        { flowId, metadata: flow.metadata }
      ))

      // 2. NodesAdded (root nodes)
      const rootNodes = flow.getNodes().filter(n => !n.metadata.parentNodeId)
      if (rootNodes.length > 0) {
        yield tracked(String(eventIndex++), newEvent(
          eventIndex, flowId, FlowEventType.NodesAdded,
          { nodes: rootNodes.map(serializeNode) }
        ))
      }

      // 3. NodesAdded (child nodes)
      const childNodes = flow.getNodes().filter(n => n.metadata.parentNodeId)
      if (childNodes.length > 0) {
        yield tracked(String(eventIndex++), newEvent(
          eventIndex, flowId, FlowEventType.NodesAdded,
          { nodes: childNodes.map(serializeNode) }
        ))
      }

      // 4. EdgesAdded
      const edges = flow.getEdges()
      if (edges.length > 0) {
        yield tracked(String(eventIndex++), newEvent(
          eventIndex, flowId, FlowEventType.EdgesAdded,
          { edges: edges.map(serializeEdge) }
        ))
      }

      // 5. FlowInitEnd
      yield tracked(String(eventIndex++), newEvent(
        eventIndex, flowId, FlowEventType.FlowInitEnd, {}
      ))

      // 6. Stream future events
      const iterator = createQueueIterator(eventQueue)
      for await (const event of iterator) {
        yield tracked(String(eventIndex++), event)
      }
    } finally {
      await eventQueue.close()
    }
  })

Flow Locking

File: packages/chaingraph-trpc/server/stores/flowStore/dbFlowStore.ts:245-300

Lock Queue Implementation

private lockQueues: Map<string, {
  locked: boolean
  waitQueue: Array<{ resolve: () => void, reject: (error: Error) => void }>
}>

async lockFlow(flowId: string, timeout = 5000): Promise<void> {
  // Check flow exists
  const flow = await this.getFlow(flowId)
  if (!flow) {
    throw new Error(`Flow ${flowId} not found`)
  }

  // Initialize queue if needed
  if (!this.lockQueues.has(flowId)) {
    this.lockQueues.set(flowId, { locked: false, waitQueue: [] })
  }

  const queue = this.lockQueues.get(flowId)!

  // If already locked, wait in queue
  if (queue.locked) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      // Add to wait queue
      queue.waitQueue.push({ resolve, reject })

      // Setup timeout
      setTimeout(() => {
        const index = queue.waitQueue.findIndex(w => w.resolve === resolve)
        if (index !== -1) {
          queue.waitQueue.splice(index, 1)
          reject(new Error(`Lock timeout for flow ${flowId}`))
        }
      }, timeout)
    })
  }

  // Acquire lock immediately
  queue.locked = true
}

async unlockFlow(flowId: string): Promise<void> {
  const queue = this.lockQueues.get(flowId)
  if (!queue) return

  // Grant lock to next waiter
  if (queue.waitQueue.length > 0) {
    const next = queue.waitQueue.shift()!
    next.resolve()  // They get the lock
  } else {
    queue.locked = false
  }
}

Usage Pattern

Every mutation follows this pattern:

await ctx.flowStore.lockFlow(flowId)
try {
  const flow = await ctx.flowStore.getFlow(flowId)
  // ... mutation logic ...
  await ctx.flowStore.updateFlow(flow)
} finally {
  await ctx.flowStore.unlockFlow(flowId)  // Always release
}

Quick Reference

Operation	Procedure	Key Pattern
Create flow	flow.create	authedProcedure
Get flow	flow.get	flowContextProcedure
Add node	flow.addNode	Lock → create → unlock
Move node	flow.updateNodePosition	Version check → update
Connect	flow.connectPorts	Lock → validate → create edge
Update port	flow.updatePortValue	Batch mode → propagate to parents
Subscribe	flow.subscribeToEvents	Init sequence → stream future
