Connectors are objects used to create link between two points, nodes or ports to represent the relationships between them.
Connector can be created by defining the source and target point of the connector. The path to be drawn can be defined with a collection of segments. To explore the properties of a connector, refer to Connector Properties.
The sourcePoint and targetPoint properties of connector allow you to define the end points of a connector.
The following code example illustrates how to add a connector through connector collection.

}Connectors can be added at runtime by using public method, diagram.add and can be removed at runtime by using public method, diagram.remove.

For more information about adding connectors from symbol palette, refer to Symbol Palette.
Connectors can be interactively drawn by clicking and dragging on the diagram surface by using drawingObject.
For more information about drawing connectors, refer to Draw Connectors.
Various connector properties such as sourcePoint, targetPoint, style, sourcePortID, targetPortID, etc., can be updated at the runtime.
The following code example illustrates how to update a connector’s source point, target point, styles properties at runtime.

// Update the target portID at the run time

To create a straight line, specify the type of the segment as straight and add a straight segment to segments collection and need to specify type for the connector. The following code example illustrates how to create a default straight segment.
The point property of straight segment allows you to define the end point of it. The following code example illustrates how to define the end point of a straight segment.
Orthogonal segments is used to create segments that are perpendicular to each other.
Set the segment type as orthogonal to create a default orthogonal segment and need to specify type. The following code example illustrates how to create a default orthogonal segment.
Multiple segments can be defined one after another. To create a connector with multiple segments, define and add the segments to connector.segments collection. The following code example illustrates how to create a connector with multiple segments.

}Bezier segments are used to create curve segments and the curves are configurable either with the control points or with vectors.

}Starting and ending points of a connector can be decorated with some customizable shapes like arrows, circles, diamond, or path. The connection end points can be decorated with the sourceDecorator and targetDecorator properties of the connector.
The shape property of sourceDecorator allows to define the shape of the decorators. Similarly, the shape property of targetDecorator allows to define the shape of the decorators.
To create custom shape for source decorator, use pathData property. Similarly, to create custom shape for target decorator, use pathData property.
The following code example illustrates how to create decorators of various shapes.

}Line bridging creates a bridge for lines to smartly cross over the other lines, at points of intersection. By default, bridgeDirection is set to top. Depending upon the direction given bridging direction appears.
Bridging can be enabled/disabled either with the connector.constraints or diagram.constraints. The following code example illustrates how to enable line bridging.

}Note: You need to inject connector bridging module into the diagram.
The bridgeSpace property of connectors can be used to define the width for line bridging.
Limitation: Bezier segments do not support bridging.
Corner radius allows to create connectors with rounded corners. The radius of the rounded corner is set with the cornerRadius property.

}
}The connector’s strokeWidth, strokeColor, strokeDashArray, and opacity properties are used to customize the appearance of the connector segments.
The visible property of the connector enables or disables the visibility of connector.
Default values for all the connectors can be set using the getConnectorDefaults properties. For example, if all connectors have the same type or having the same property then such properties can be moved into getConnectorDefaults.
The following code example illustrates how to customize the segment appearance.

namespace EJ2MVCSampleBrowser.Controllers.Diagram {
public partial class DiagramController: Controller {
// GET: Nodes
public ActionResult Nodes() {
List<DiagramConnector> Connectors = new List<DiagramConnector>();
Connectors.Add(new DiagramConnector() { Id = "connector", SourcePoint = new DiagramPoint() { X = 100, Y = 100 }, TargetPoint = new DiagramPoint() { X = 300, Y = 300 }, Type = Segments.Orthogonal, Style = new DiagramStrokeStyle() { StrokeDashArray = "2,2", StrokeColor = "Red", StrokeWidth = 2 }});
ViewBag.connectors = Connectors;
return View();
}
}
}The source decorator’s strokeColor, strokeWidth, and strokeDashArray properties are used to customize the color, width, and appearance of the decorator.
To set the border stroke color, stroke width, and stroke dash array for the target decorator, use strokeColor, strokeWidth, and strokeDashArray.
To set the size for source and target decorator, use width and height property.
The following code example illustrates how to customize the appearance of the decorator.
<ejs-diagram id="container" width="100%" height="700px" connectors="@ViewBag.connectors">

}Connection Editing.The constraints property of connector allows to enable/disable certain features of connectors.
To enable or disable the constraints, refer constraints.
The following code illustrates how to disable selection.
<ejs-diagram id="container" width="100%" height="700px" connectors="@ViewBag.connectors">
</ejs-diagram>using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Syncfusion.EJ2.Diagrams;
using System.Drawing;
namespace EJ2MVCSampleBrowser.Controllers.Diagram {
public partial class DiagramController: Controller {
// GET: Nodes
public ActionResult Nodes() {
List<DiagramConnector> Connectors = new List<DiagramConnector>();
Connectors.Add(new DiagramConnector() { Id = "connector", SourcePoint = new DiagramPoint() { X = 100, Y = 100 }, TargetPoint = new DiagramPoint() { X = 300, Y = 300 }, Constraints = ConnectorConstraints.Default & ~ConnectorConstraints.Select });
ViewBag.connectors = Connectors;
return View();
}
}
}addInfo property of connectors allow you to maintain additional information to the connectors.var connectors = {
id: 'connector1',
// Defines the information about the connector
addInfo:'centralconnector',
type: 'Straight',
sourceID: 'Transaction',
targetID: 'Verification'
};The connectors zIndex property specifies the stack order of the connector. A connector with greater stack order is always in front of a connector with a lower stack order.
The following code illustrates how to render connector based on the stack order.
