JavaScript/jQuery Diagram - edges

View Demo

This property links custom data from a data source to the diagram edge. The edge contains the linked data copied from the data source. Changes in the data are reflected in the diagram history. You can use the UI to undo and redo these changes.

A function assigned to this property should do the following:

• Return an edge's new custom data when the value parameter is set to undefined.
• Save a new custom data value to a data storage when the value parameter contains an edge's custom data. For instance, assign this value to the obj parameter's field to save an edge's custom data in your data source.

The Diagram UI component creates a connector between two shapes for every edge in the collection.

Specify this property if you use node and edge data sources.

A function assigned to this property should do the following:

• Return an edge's new start node key when the value parameter is set to undefined.
• Save a new key value to a data storage when the value parameter contains an edge's start node key. For instance, assign this value to the obj parameter's field to save an edge's start node key in your data source.

• Save a new line start tip value to a data storage when the value parameter contains an edge's line start tip. For instance, assign this value to the obj parameter's field to save an edge's line start tip in your data source.

A start line tip accepts one of the following values:

• none
• arrow
• filledTriangle

A function assigned to this property should do the following:

• Return an index of a shape connection point where an edge starts when the value parameter is set to undefined.
• Save an index value to a data storage when the value parameter contains a shape connection point's index. For instance, assign this value to the obj parameter's field to save an index of a shape connection point where an edge starts in your data source.

The built-in shape's connection points are numbered clockwise from the leftmost point on the top border.

A custom shape's connection points are numbered according to their position in the connectionPoints collection.

This property is required if you bind edges to a data source (edges.dataSource).

A function assigned to this property should do the following:

• Return an edge's new key when the value parameter is set to undefined.
• Save a new key value to a data storage when the value parameter contains an edge's key. For instance, assign this value to the obj parameter's field to save an edge's key in your data source.

A function assigned to this property should do the following:

• Return an edge's new line type when the value parameter is set to undefined.
• Save a new line type value to a data storage when the value parameter contains an edge's line type. For instance, assign this value to the obj parameter's field to save an edge's line type in your data source.

A line type can accept the orthogonal or straight value.

A function assigned to this property should do the following:

• Return a Boolean value that indicates whether an edge is locked when the value parameter is set to undefined.
• Save a new value to a data storage when the value parameter contains a Boolean value. For instance, assign this value to the obj parameter's field to save a value that indicates whether an edge is locked in your data source.

A locked item can not be moved, changed, or deleted. The context menu allows users to lock and unlock an item.

A function assigned to this property should do the following:

• Return an edge's new key points when the value parameter is set to undefined.
• Save new point values to a data storage when the value parameter contains an edge's key points. For instance, assign these values to the obj parameter's field to save an edge's key points in your data source.

A data source field assigned to this property should contain in-line style declarations in string format. For instance, "stroke: #999999".

A function assigned to this property should do the following:

• Return an edge's new style as a set of CSS rules in JSON format when the value parameter is set to undefined. For instance, {"stroke": "#999999"}.
• Save a new style value to a data storage when the value parameter contains an edge's style. For instance, assign this value to the obj parameter's field to save an edge's style in your data source.

A function assigned to this property should do the following:

• Return an edge's new text when the value parameter is set to undefined.
• Save a new text value to a data storage when the value parameter contains an edge's text. For instance, assign this value to the obj parameter's field to save an edge's text in your data source.

Use a string or object value to specify an edge's text:

• String
  Specifies the text in the middle of a connector. For instance, "text".

• Object
  Contains multiple texts and their positions on the connector. The position is a number between 0 and 1, where 0 corresponds to the connector's start point and 1 to the connector's end point. For instance, { 0.3: "text1", 0.8: "text2" }.

A data source field assigned to this property should contain in-line style declarations in string format. For instance, "font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline".

A function assigned to this property should do the following:

• Return an edge's text style as a set of CSS rules in JSON format when the value parameter is set to undefined. For instance, { "font-weight": "bold", "text-decoration": "underline" }.
• Save a new text style value to a data storage when the value parameter contains an edge's text style. For instance, assign this value to the obj parameter's field to save an edge's text style in your data source.

Specify this property if you use (node and edge) data sources.

A function assigned to this property should do the following:

• Return an edge's new end node key when the value parameter is set to undefined.
• Save a new key value to a data storage when the value parameter contains an edge's end node key. For instance, assign this value to the obj parameter's field to save an edge's end node key in your data source.

A function assigned to this property should do the following:

• Return an index of a shape connection point where an edge ends when the value parameter is set to undefined.
• Save a new index value to a data storage when the value parameter contains an index of a shape connection point. For instance, assign this value to the obj parameter's field to save an index of a shape connection point where an edge ends in your data source.

The built-in shape's connection points are numbered clockwise from the leftmost point on the top border.

A custom shape's connection points are numbered according to their position in the connectionPoints collection.

A function assigned to this property should do the following:

• Return an edge's new z-index when the value parameter is set to undefined.
• Save a new z-index value to a data storage when the value parameter contains an edge's z-index. For instance, assign this value to the obj parameter's field to save an edge's z-index in your data source.

The z-index specifies the edge stack order. An edge with greater stack order is in front of an edge with a lower stack order.
