FLOW DIAGRAM

// CSS DESIGN SYSTEM v1.0

Every component is a node in a living, breathing flowchart. Data pulses through animated connection lines. The system is alive.

Decision-Driven
Diamond shapes mark every branching point in your interface logic.
Process Flow
Rectangular nodes execute operations. Clean, predictable, stackable.
Data In Motion
Parallelogram-skewed cards hold state. Everything flows directionally.
Terminal States
Ovals mark entry and exit. Every flow has a beginning and an end.

Color Palette

The neon whiteboard palette. Six signal colors burn against the void, each carrying meaning through the flowchart. High contrast, maximum legibility, zero ambiguity.

Typography

WHICH
FONT?
display body

Three typefaces serve the flowchart system. Orbitron commands attention at display scale. Inter carries body text with quiet precision. Fira Code renders data and labels in monospaced clarity.

Body

The flowchart system processes information through interconnected nodes. Each node performs a discrete operation, passing its output downstream through animated connection lines. The system never sleeps.

Spacing Scale

INPUT: SPACING TOKENS

A 4px base unit generates the spatial rhythm. Every gap, margin, and padding maps to a named token. The parallelogram skew reminds you: data is always in transit.

Buttons

Action nodes in the flowchart. Each button type maps to a flow operation: primary executes, secondary branches, success confirms, warning pauses. Animated gradient borders pulse like live circuit traces.

Forms

VALID
INPUT?
yes: proceed no: retry

Data entry nodes. Every input is a decision point in the flow — valid data proceeds downstream, invalid data loops back. Focus states glow magenta to signal an active decision.

Cards & Panels

OUTPUT: NODE TYPES

Three card types map to flowchart node shapes. Process cards are rectangular and direct. Decision cards carry a diamond indicator. Data cards skew like parallelograms, always suggesting motion and transformation.

Initialize System
Load configuration parameters and establish connection pools. Validate schema integrity before processing begins.
Route Selection
Evaluate incoming data against routing rules. Branch to appropriate handler based on payload type and priority.
Transform Payload
Map source fields to target schema. Apply normalization filters and validate output constraints before forwarding.
PROCESS

Alerts & Status

Status nodes broadcast system state. Each alert type maps to a flow condition: info passes through, success terminates a branch, warning triggers review, error halts the flow and demands intervention.

Info — Flow Active
Node FD-2087 is processing. Current throughput: 1,247 ops/sec. All downstream connections healthy.
Success — Branch Complete
All 48 records transformed successfully. Output validated against target schema. No anomalies detected.
Warning — Threshold Exceeded
Node FD-1337 latency at 340ms (limit: 200ms). Scaling event triggered. Review connection pool configuration.
Error — Flow Halted
Schema validation failed at node FD-0042. 12 records rejected. Manual intervention required to resume processing.

Navigation

Sub-process nodes link to reusable flows. Hexagonal nav items represent modular, encapsulated routines that can be called from any point in the system. Breadcrumbs trace the execution path. Tabs switch between parallel views.
