  • Move scroll-based movement to transition-based movement
  • Summary.text -> Summary.label
  • Remove getDataMd()
  • MindElixir.dragMoveHelper -> instance.dragMoveHelper
  • Remove unselectNode()
  • Remove selectNode event, use selectNodes event instead
  • Remove removeNode()
  • node.style.fontSize: use string instead of number which means you should add px to the end
  • Use instance.findEl instead of MindElixir.E to get a node element
  • CSS file is separated from JS file, you need to import it manually
    • If using a bundler with CSS support: import "mind-elixir/style";
    • If using a CDN you can add to your CSS file: @import "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mind-elixir@^5.0.0/dist/style.css";
