JavaScript/jQuery Diagram - Node List: Hierarchical Array

This demo shows the JavaScript Diagram's ability to load an external tree structure from a hierarchical object.

The component binds to a data object specified by the dataSource property. You should set the itemsExpr property to the name of the field that provides data for nested items due to the data's hierarchical structure.

Backend API
$(() => { $('#diagram').dxDiagram({ nodes: { dataSource: new DevExpress.data.ArrayStore({ key: 'this', data: employees, }), textExpr: 'Title', itemsExpr: 'Items', autoLayout: { type: 'tree', }, }, toolbox: { groups: ['general'], }, }); });
