React Diagram Props
contextToolbox
The context toolbox appears when you draw a connector from a shape and release it without it being connected to another shape. The toolbox allows you to create a shape at the end of the connector.
customShapeComponent
An alias for the customShapeTemplate property specified in React. Accepts a custom component. Refer to Using a Custom Component for more information.
customShapeRender
An alias for the customShapeTemplate property specified in React. Accepts a rendering function. Refer to Using a Rendering Function for more information.
customShapes[]
Use the customShapes property to extend a collection of built-in shapes with custom shapes.
Use the toolbox property to add the custom shapes to the toolbox.
jQuery
$(function() { var diagram = $("#diagram").dxDiagram({ customShapes: [{ category: "hardware", type: "internet", title: "Internet", backgroundImageUrl: "images/shapes/internet.svg", backgroundImageLeft: 0.15, backgroundImageTop: 0, backgroundImageWidth: 0.7, backgroundImageHeight: 0.7, defaultWidth: 0.75, defaultHeight: 0.75, defaultText: "Internet", allowEditText: true, textLeft: 0, textTop: 0.7, textWidth: 1, textHeight: 0.3, connectionPoints: [ { x: 0.5, y: 0 }, { x: 0.9, y: 0.5 }, { x: 0.5, y: 1 }, { x: 0.1, y: 0.5 } ] }, ... ], toolbox: { groups: [{ category: "hardware", title: "Hardware" }] } }).dxDiagram("instance");

customShapeTemplate
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
item |
The processed shape's object. |
The template content must be presented as SVG elements.
Use the template property to define a template of an individual shape.
If the textExpr option is specified, template content may overlap with text from the data source.
Since the textExpr option has the default value 'text'
, the widget will obtain node texts from the data source’s 'text' field. To prevent his behavior, set the option to an empty string: nodes: { textExpr: "", ...
.

customShapeToolboxTemplate
Name | Type | Description |

Angular
<dx-diagram ... (onOptionChanged)="handlePropertyChange($event)"> </dx-diagram>
import { Component } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-root', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'] }) export class AppComponent { // ... handlePropertyChange(e) { if(e.name === "changedProperty") { // handle the property change here } } }
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; import { DxDiagramModule } from 'devextreme-angular'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, DxDiagramModule ], providers: [ ], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { }
Vue
<template> <DxDiagram ... @option-changed="handlePropertyChange" /> </template> <script> import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import DxDiagram from 'devextreme-vue/diagram'; export default { components: { DxDiagram }, // ... methods: { handlePropertyChange: function(e) { if(e.name === "changedProperty") { // handle the property change here } } } } </script>
React
import React from 'react'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import Diagram from 'devextreme-react/diagram'; const handlePropertyChange = (e) => { if(e.name === "changedProperty") { // handle the property change here } } export default function App() { return ( <Diagram ... onOptionChanged={handlePropertyChange} /> ); }
onRequestEditOperation
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
allowed |
Specifies whether the edit operation is allowed. Default value: true. |
|
args |
| dxDiagramAddShapeFromToolboxArgs | | | |dxDiagramChangeConnectorPointsArgs |dxDiagramBeforeChangeShapeTextArgs | |dxDiagramBeforeChangeConnectorTextArgs | | | |
An object that contains information about the processed shape or connector. The parameter's value type depends on the operation. |
component |
The UI component instance's name. |
|
element |
The UI component's container. It is an HTML Element or a jQuery Element when you use jQuery. |
|
model |
Model data. Available only if you use Knockout. |

To disable a specific operation type for the entire diagram, set an Allow{Operation} property to false
.
When a user pastes or clones several items in a diagram, the control adds the items to the model one by one. For each added item, the RequestEditOperation event fires. In the event handler, you can access the processed item. However, if you call the getItemById(id) method to access an attached connector (see the attachedConnectorIds property) or a container's child item (see the containerChildItemIds property), you can get the undefined
result if the item is not added to the model yet.

onRequestLayoutUpdate
A function that is executed after diagram data is reloaded and allows you to specify whether or not the UI component should update the diagram layout.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
allowed |
Specifies whether or not the diagram layout should be updated. Default value: false. |
|
changes | Array<any> |
The received changes. |

|
element |

|
model |
Model data. Available only if you use Knockout. |
The Diagram component updates the bound data source and reloads the diagram content each time a user changes diagram data by the UI. If you modify the data source directly (beyond the Diagram), use push services to notify the component about data modifications. In this case Diagram gets notifications about data source changes and reloads diagram content.
Write the onRequestLayoutUpdate function to specify whether the UI component should recalculate and update the diagram layout after the data is reloaded.
onSelectionChanged
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
component |
The UI component instance's name. |
|
element |
The UI component's container. It is an HTML Element or a jQuery Element when you use jQuery. |
|
items |

|
model |

pageColor
The following color formats are available:
Longhand and shorthand hexadecimal notations. For example,
"#3b3"
,"#31bb32"
.RGB and RGBA formats. For example,
"rgb(51,187,51)"
,"rgba(0,204,0,1)"
.Named colors. For example,
"darkturquoise"
.
pageSize
The units property specifies the page's measurement units.
jQuery
$(function() { $("#diagram").dxDiagram({ units: "cm", pageSize: { width: 10, height: 10, }, }); });
readOnly
Set the readOnly property to true to prohibit users from editing the diagram.
rtlEnabled
When this property is set to true, the UI component text flows from right to left, and the layout of elements is reversed. To switch the entire application/site to the right-to-left representation, assign true to the rtlEnabled field of the object passed to the DevExpress.config(config) method.
DevExpress.config({ rtlEnabled: true });
simpleView
In simple view mode, the control does not divide the work area into pages and the diagram's content occupies all the available area inside the component.
units
The units property specifies the unit for measurements in a diagram, for instance, defaultHeight (custom shape properties), gridSize (grid properties), or leftExpr (node and edge data-bound settings).
User interface elements display measurements in viewUnits.
When you export a diagram, the component saves the diagram's data in its own text format. The resulting JSON object contains measurements in twips, regardless of the units or viewUnits property values. Do not modify this JSON object because modified data can load incorrectly.
viewUnits
The viewUnits property specifies the measurement unit in Properties panel and in the Diagram work area.
Use the units property specifies the unit for measurements in a diagram, for instance, defaultHeight (custom shape properties), gridSize (grid properties), or leftExpr (node and edge data-bound settings).
When you export a diagram, the component saves the diagram's data in its own text format. The resulting JSON object contains measurements in twips, regardless of the units or viewUnits property values. Do not modify this JSON object because modified data can load incorrectly.
width
This property accepts a value of one of the following types:
Number
The width in pixels.String
A CSS-accepted measurement of width. For example,"55px"
,"80%"
,"auto"
,"inherit"
.Function
A function returning either of the above. For example:JavaScriptwidth: function() { return window.innerWidth / 1.5; }
