JavaScript/jQuery Sankey Options

The adaptive layout enables the widget to hide optional elements if they do not fit in the container. Elements are hidden in the following sequence:

1. Title
2. Export menu icon
3. Labels (can be saved by setting the adaptiveLayout.keepLabels option to true)

Use the height and width options in the adaptiveLayout object to specify the minimum container size at which the layout begins to adapt.

A string value aligns all node columns uniformly. An array of strings allows you to align each node column individually. For example, the Sankey widget contains four columns, and the alignment option is specified as follows:

$(function() {
    $("#sankeyContainer").dxSankey({
        // ...
        alignment: ["top", "bottom", "bottom"]
    });
});

<dx-sankey ...
    [alignment]="['top', 'bottom', 'bottom']">
</dx-sankey>

import { DxSankeyModule } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    // ...
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        DxSankeyModule
    ],
    // ...
})

With this setting, the leftmost node column is aligned to the top, and the next two columns are aligned to the bottom. The rightmost column does not have a value in the alignment array and is aligned to the center (according to the default value).

Use the VerticalAlignment enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC Control. This enum accepts the following values: Bottom, Center, and Top.

If you use DevExtreme ASP.NET MVC Controls, refer to the Data Binding article.

The Sankey works with collections of objects.

Depending on your data source, bind the Sankey to data as follows. In each case, also specify the sourceField, targetField, and weightField options.

• Data Array
  Assign the array to the dataSource option. View Demo

• Read-Only Data in JSON Format
  Set the dataSource option to the URL of a JSON file or service that returns JSON data.

• OData
  Implement an ODataStore.

• Web API, PHP, MongoDB
  Use one of the following extensions to enable the server to process data according to the protocol DevExtreme widgets use:

  • DevExtreme.AspNet.Data
  • DevExtreme-PHP-Data
  • devextreme-query-mongodb

  Then, use the createStore method to configure access to the server on the client as shown below. This method is part of DevExtreme.AspNet.Data.

• Any other data source
  Implement a CustomStore.

Regardless of the data source on the input, the Sankey always wraps it in the DataSource object. This object allows you to sort, filter, group, and otherwise shape data. To get its instance, call the getDataSource() method.

These features allow a user to export your widget into a document or print it. When exporting is enabled, the "Exporting/Printing" button appears in the widget. A click on it invokes a drop-down menu that lists exporting and printing commands. The following formats are supported for exporting into: PNG, PDF, JPEG, SVG and GIF.

When the widget visualizes local data, loading is instant. But when the widget is bound to a remote data source, loading may takes a considerable amount of time. To keep the viewer's attention, the widget can display a loading indicator.

To activate the loading indicator, assign true to the loadingIndicator.show option. Once data is loaded, the loading indicator will be hidden automatically.

The widget notifies you of errors and warnings by passing messages to the browser console. Each message contains the incident's ID, a brief description, and a link to the Errors and Warnings section where further information about this incident can be found.

The onIncidentOccurred function allows you to handle errors and warnings the way you require. The object passed to it contains the target field. This field provides information about the occurred incident and contains the following properties:

• id
  The incident's ID. The full list of IDs can be found in the Errors and Warnings section.
• type
  The incident's type: "error" or "warning".
• args
  The argument of the incident's message. Depends on the incident. For example, it may be the name of the data source field that was specified incorrectly, or the name of the option that was not set properly.
• text
  The text passed to the browser's console. Includes the args content, if there is any.
• widget
  The name of the widget that produced the error or warning.
• version
  The used DevExtreme version.

This option accepts either the name of a predefined palette or an array of colors. The array can include the following colors:

• Hexadecimal colors
• RGB colors
• RGBA colors
• Predefined/cross-browser color names
• Predefined SVG colors

Use the VizPalette enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC Control. This enum accepts the following values: Default, SoftPastel, HarmonyLight, Pastel, Bright, Soft, Ocean, Vintage, Violet, Carmine, DarkMoon, SoftBlue, DarkViolet, and GreenMist.

• Palettes
• paletteExtensionMode

The following variants are available:

• "blend"
  Create a blend of two neighboring colors and insert it between these colors in the palette.

• "alternate"
  Repeat the full set of palette colors, alternating their normal, lightened, and darkened shades in that order.

• "extrapolate"
  Repeat the full set of palette colors, changing their shade gradually from dark to light.

Use the VizPaletteExtensionMode enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC Control. This enum accepts the following values: Blend, Alternate, and Extrapolate.

If you place the widget on a page that uses a tag modifying the path (<base>, <iframe>, etc.), some of the widget elements may get mixed up or disappear. To solve this problem, set the pathModified option to true.

See Also

• DevExpress.viz.refreshPaths()

When this option is set to true, the widget will be redrawn automatically in case the size of its parent window changes.

When this option is set to true, the widget 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
});

The widget occupies its container's entire area by default. Use the size object to specify the widget's size if it should be different from that of its container. Assign 0 to size object's height and width options to hide the widget.

$(function() {
    $("#sankeyContainer").dxSankey({
        // ...
        size: {
            height: 300,
            width: 600
        }
    });
});

<dx-sankey ... >

    }
}
export default App;

The sorting order depends on the node's weight: the heavier the node, the lower it is in the column. All nodes have the same weight initially (equals 1).

For example, without the sortData object, source nodes in the following code would be sorted as declared in the data source (top to bottom): Australia, New Zealand, Japan. Weights in the sortData object specify the following sorting order: New Zealand, Japan, Australia.

$(function() {
    $("#sankeyContainer").dxSankey({
        dataSource: [
            { source: "Australia", target: "Portugal", weight: 5 },
            { source: "New Zealand", target: "Portugal", weight: 1 },
            { source: "Japan", target: "Senegal", weight: 3 }
        ],
        sortData: { "Australia": 3, "New Zealand": 1, "Japan": 2 }
    });
});

import { DxSankeyModule } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    data: Array<{ source: string, target: string, weight: number }> = [
        { source: "Australia", target: "Portugal", weight: 5 },
        { source: "New Zealand", target: "Portugal", weight: 1 },
        { source: "Japan", target: "Senegal", weight: 3 }
    ];
    sortData = { "Australia": 3, "New Zealand": 1, "Japan": 2 };
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        DxSankeyModule
    ],
    // ...
})

<dx-sankey
    [dataSource]="data"
    [sortData]="sortData">
</dx-sankey>

A theme is a widget configuration that gives the widget a distinctive appearance. Use can use one of the predefined themes or create a custom one. Changing the option values in the widget's configuration object overrides the theme's corresponding values.

Use the VizTheme enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC Control. This enum accepts the following values: GenericLight, GenericDark, GenericContrast, GenericCarmine, GenericDarkMoon, GenericSoftBlue, GenericDarkViolet, GenericGreenMist, IOS7Default, MaterialBlueLight, MaterialLimeLight, MaterialOrangeLight, MaterialPurpleLight, MaterialTealLight.

The widget's title is a short text that usually indicates what is visualized. If you need to specify the title's text only, assign it directly to the title option. Otherwise, set this option to an object with the text and other fields specified.

The title can be accompanied by a subtitle elaborating on the visualized subject using the title.subtitle object.
