Working with yFiles

The yFiles for HTML API is divided into a number of JavaScript modules to improve loading performance and modularity of applications. For example, the JS Module 'yfiles/view-component' provides the basic visualization infrastructure, styles, and some basic support classes (e.g., collections, iterations etc). The name of the required module(s) of each type is specified in corresponding API documentation.

Besides the ES modules variant that can be integrated seamlessly into most modern JavaScript applications, the yFiles library can also be consumed as AMD or CJS modules using the UMD variant. Please see yFiles Library Formats for details on the different library formats.
