Connectors in EJ2 TypeScript Diagram control

11 Jan 202424 minutes to read

Connectors are objects used to create link between two points, nodes or ports to represent the relationships between them.

Create connector

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.

Add connectors through connectors collection

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.

import {Diagram,ConnectorModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let connectors: ConnectorModel = [{
    // Name of the connector
    id: "connector1",
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
        fill: '#6BA5D7',
        strokeWidth: 2
    },
    targetDecorator: {
        style: {
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
        }
    },
    // Sets source and target points
    sourcePoint: {
        x: 100,
        y: 100
    },
    targetPoint: {
        x: 200,
        y: 200
    }
}]
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
    width: '100%',
    height: '600px',
    connectors: connectors,
});
diagram.appendTo('#element');

Add connector at runtime

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

The following code example illustrates how to add connector at runtime.

import {Diagram,ConnectorModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let connectors: ConnectorModel = {
    id: "connector1",
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
        fill: '#6BA5D7',
        strokeWidth: 2
    },
    targetDecorator: {
        style: {
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
        }
    },
    sourcePoint: {
        x: 100,
        y: 100
    },
    targetPoint: {
        x: 200,
        y: 200
    }
}
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
    width: '100%',
    height: '600px',
});
diagram.appendTo('#element');
// Adds to the diagram
diagram.add(connectors)
// Remove from the diagram
diagram.remove(connectors)

Connectors from palette

Connectors can be predefined and added to the symbol palette. You can drop those connectors into the diagram, when required.

For more information about adding connectors from symbol palette, refer to Symbol Palette.

Draw connectors

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.

Update connector at runtime

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.

import {Diagram,ConnectorModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let connectors: ConnectorModel = [{
    id: "connector1",
    sourcePoint: {
        x: 100,
        y: 100
    },
    targetPoint: {
        x: 200,
        y: 200
    }
}]
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
    width: '100%',
    height: '600px',
    connectors: connectors,
});
diagram.appendTo('#element');
// Update the connector properties at the run time
diagram.connectors[0].style.strokeColor = '#6BA5D7';
diagram.connectors[0].style.fill = '#6BA5D7';
diagram.connectors[0].style.strokeWidth = 2;
diagram.connectors[0].targetDecorator.style.fill = '#6BA5D7';
diagram.connectors[0].targetDecorator.style.strokeColor = '#6BA5D7';
diagram.connectors[0].sourcePoint.x = 150;
diagram.connectors[0].targetPoint.x = 150;
diagram.dataBind();

Connect nodes

  • The sourceID and targetID properties allow to define the nodes to be connected.
  • The connectorSpacing property allows you to define the distance between the source node and the connector. It is the minimum distance the connector will re-rout or the new segment will create.

  • The following code example illustrates how to connect two nodes.
import {Diagram,NodeModel,ConnectorModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let nodes: NodeModel[] = [{
        id: 'Start',
        width: 140,
        height: 50,
        offsetX: 100,
        offsetY: 100,
        annotations: [{
            id: 'label1',
            content: 'Start'
        }],
        shape: {
            type: 'Flow',
            shape: 'Terminator'
        }
    },
    {
        id: 'Init',
        width: 140,
        height: 50,
        offsetX: 300,
        offsetY: 300,
        shape: {
            type: 'Flow',
            shape: 'Process'
        },
        annotations: [{
            content: 'var i = 0;'
        }]
    }
];
let connectors: ConnectorModel = {
    // Name of the connector
    id: "connector1",
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
        fill: '#6BA5D7',
        strokeWidth: 2
    },
    targetDecorator: {
        style: {
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
        }
    },
    // ID of the source and target nodes
    sourceID: "Start",
    targetID: "Init",
    connectorSpacing: 7,
    type: 'Orthogonal'
};

let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
    width: '100%',
    height: '600px',
    nodes: nodes,
    connectors: [connectors],
    // Defines the default properties for the node
    getNodeDefaults: (node: NodeModel) => {
        node.height = 100;
        node.width = 100;
        node.style.fill = '#6BA5D7';
        node.style.strokeColor = 'white';
        return node;
    },
});

diagram.appendTo('#element');

  • When you remove NodeConstraints InConnect from Default, the node accepts only an outgoing connection to dock in it. Similarly, when you remove NodeConstraints OutConnect from Default, the node accepts only an incoming connection to dock in it.

  • When you remove both InConnect and OutConnect NodeConstraints from Default, the node restricts connector to establish connection in it.

  • The following code illustrates how to disable InConnect constraints.

//Initialize diagram
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
     nodes:[
         {
            id: 'node', width: 100, height: 100, offsetX: 100, offsetY: 150,
            shape: { type: 'Basic', shape: 'Rectangle' },
            //Disable InConnect constraints
            constraints: NodeConstraints.Default & ~NodeConstraints.InConnect,
         }
     ]
});
diagram.appendTo('#diagram');

Connections with ports

The sourcePortID and targetPortID properties allow to create connections between some specific points of source/target nodes.

The following code example illustrates how to create port to port connections.

import {ConnectorModel,NodeModel,BasicShapeModel,PointPortModel,Diagram,PortVisibility} from'@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let port1: PointPortModel = {
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#366F8C',
        fill: '#366F8C'
    }
}
port1.shape = 'Circle';
port1.id = 'nodeportnew'
port1.visibility = PortVisibility.Visible
port1.id = 'port';
port1.offset = {
    x: 1,
    y: 1
};
let port2: PointPortModel = {
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#366F8C',
        fill: '#366F8C'
    }
};
port2.offset = {
    x: 1,
    y: 0.5
};
port2.id = 'port1';
port2.visibility = PortVisibility.Visible
port2.shape = 'Circle';
let port3: PointPortModel = {
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#366F8C',
        fill: '#366F8C'
    }
};
port3.offset = {
    x: 0,
    y: 1
};
port3.id = 'newnodeport1';
port3.visibility = PortVisibility.Visible
port3.shape = 'Circle';
let nodes: NodeModel[] = [{
        id: 'node',
        width: 100,
        height: 100,
        offsetX: 100,
        offsetY: 100,
        ports: [port1]
    },
    {
        id: 'node1',
        width: 100,
        height: 100,
        offsetX: 300,
        offsetY: 100,
        ports: [port2, port3]
    },
];
let connectors: ConnectorModel = {
    id: "connector1",
    sourcePoint: {
        x: 100,
        y: 100
    },
    type: 'Orthogonal',
    targetPoint: {
        x: 200,
        y: 200
    },
    sourceID: 'node',
    targetID: 'node1',
    sourcePortID: 'port',
    targetPortID: 'port1'
}
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
    width: 900,
    height: 900,
    nodes: nodes,
    connectors: [connectors],
    getNodeDefaults: (node: NodeModel) => {
        node.height = 100;
        node.width = 100;
        node.style.fill = '#6BA5D7';
        node.style.strokeColor = 'white';
        return node;
    },
});
diagram.appendTo('#element');

  • When you set PortConstraints to InConnect, the port accepts only an incoming connection to dock in it. Similarly, when you set PortConstraints to OutConnect, the port accepts only an outgoing connection to dock in it.

  • When you set PortConstraints to None, the port restricts connector to establish connection in it.

//Initialize diagram
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
     nodes:[
         {
            id: 'node', width: 100, height: 100, offsetX: 100, offsetY: 150,
            shape: { type: 'Basic', shape: 'Rectangle' },
            ports: [
             //Enable portConstraints Inconnect
             { id: 'port', height: 10, width: 10, offset: { x: 1, y: 0.5 }, constraints: PortConstraints.InConnect },
           ]
         }
     ]
});
diagram.appendTo('#diagram');

Segments

The path of the connector is defined with a collection of segments. There are three types of segments.

Straight

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.

import {Diagram,ConnectorModel,StraightSegmentModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let connectors: ConnectorModel = {
    id: "connector1",
    type: 'Straight',
    segments: [{
        // Defines the segment type of the connector
        type: 'Straight'
    }],
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
        fill: '#6BA5D7',
        strokeWidth: 2
    },
    targetDecorator: {
        style: {
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
        }
    },
    sourcePoint: {
        x: 100,
        y: 100
    },
    targetPoint: {
        x: 200,
        y: 200
    }
}
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
    width: '100%',
    height: '600px',
    connectors: [connectors],
});
diagram.appendTo('#element');

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.

import {Diagram,ConnectorModel,StraightSegmentModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let connectors: ConnectorModel = {
    id: "connector1",
    // Defines the segment type of the connector
    segments: [{
        type: 'Straight',
        // Defines the point of the segment
        point: {
            x: 100,
            y: 150
        }
    }],
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
        fill: '#6BA5D7',
        strokeWidth: 2
    },
    targetDecorator: {
        style: {
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
        }
    },
    type: 'Straight',
    sourcePoint: {
        x: 100,
        y: 100
    },
    targetPoint: {
        x: 200,
        y: 200
    }
}
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
    width: '100%',
    height: '600px',
    connectors: [connectors],

Orthogonal

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.

The property maxSegmentThumb is used to limit the number of segment thumb in the connector.

import {
    Diagram,
    ConnectorModel,
    OrthogonalSegmentModel,ConnectorConstraints,ConnectorEditing
} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';

Diagram.Inject(ConnectorEditing);
let connectors: ConnectorModel[] = [{
        id: "connector1",
        // Define the type of the segment
        type: 'Orthogonal',
        segments: [{
            type: 'Orthogonal'
        }],
        style: {
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            strokeWidth: 2
        },
        targetDecorator: {
            style: {
                fill: '#6BA5D7',
                strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
            }
        },
        sourcePoint: {
            x: 100,
            y: 100
        },
        targetPoint: {
            x: 200,
            y: 200
        },
        maxSegmentThumb: 3,
        constraints:ConnectorConstraints.Default | ConnectorConstraints.DragSegmentThumb,
    },]

let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
    width: '100%',
    height: '600px',
    connectors: connectors,

maxSegmentThumb

The length and direction properties allow to define the flow and length of segment. The following code example illustrates how to create customized orthogonal segments.

import {Diagram,ConnectorModel,OrthogonalSegmentModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let connectors: ConnectorModel = [{
        id: "connector1",
        type: 'Orthogonal',
        segments: [{
            type: 'Orthogonal',
            // Defines the direction for the segment lines
            direction: 'Right',
            // Defines the length for the segment lines
            length: 50
        }],
        style: {
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            strokeWidth: 2
        },
        targetDecorator: {
            style: {
                fill: '#6BA5D7',
                strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
            }
        },
        sourcePoint: {
            x: 100,
            y: 100
        },
        targetPoint: {
            x: 200,
            y: 200
        }
    },
    {
        id: "connector2",
        type: 'Orthogonal',
        // Defines multile segemnts for the connectors
        segments: [{
                type: 'Orthogonal',
                direction: 'Bottom',
                length: 150
            },
            {
                type: 'Orthogonal',
                direction: 'Right',
                length: 150
            }
        ],
        style: {
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            strokeWidth: 2
        },
        targetDecorator: {

Note: You need to mention the segment type as same as what you mentioned in connector type. There should be no contradiction between connector type and segment type.

Avoid overlapping

Orthogonal segments are automatically re-routed, in order to avoid overlapping with the source and target nodes. The following preview illustrates how orthogonal segments are re-routed.

import {ConnectorModel,NodeModel,BasicShapeModel,PointPortModel,Diagram,PortVisibility} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';

let nodeport: PointPortModel = {
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#366F8C',
        fill: '#366F8C'
    }
};
nodeport.shape = 'Circle';
nodeport.visibility = PortVisibility.Visible
nodeport.id = 'port';
nodeport.offset = {
    x: 0,
    y: 0.5
};
let port2: PointPortModel = {
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#366F8C',
        fill: '#366F8C'
    }
}
port2.offset = {
    x: 0,
    y: 0.5
};
port2.id = 'port1';
port2.visibility = PortVisibility.Visible
port2.shape = 'Circle';
let nodes: NodeModel[] = [{

    },
];
let connectors: ConnectorModel = {
    id: "connector1",
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
        fill: '#6BA5D7',

    height: 900,
    nodes: nodes,
    connectors: [connectors],
    getNodeDefaults: (node: NodeModel) => {
        node.height = 100;
        node.width = 100;
        node.style.fill = '#6BA5D7';
        node.style.strokeColor = 'white';
        return node;

How to customize Orthogonal Segment Thumb Shape

The orthogonal connector can have any number of segments in between the source and the target point. Segments are rendered with the rhombus shape by default. The segmentThumbShape property allows you to change the default shape of the segment thumb. The following predefined shapes are provided:

Shape name Shape
Rhombus Rhombus
Square Square
Rectangle Rectangle
Ellipse Ellipse
Arrow Arrow
OpenArrow OpenArrow
Circle Circle
Fletch Fletch
OpenFetch OpenFetch
IndentedArrow IndentedArrow
OutdentedArrow OutdentedArrow
DoubleArrow DoubleArrow

You can customize the style of the thumb shape by overriding the class e-orthogonal-thumb.

import { Diagram, ConnectorModel, ConnectorEditing, ConnectorConstraints } from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';

Diagram.Inject(ConnectorEditing);



let connector2: ConnectorModel = {};

    connector2.id = 'connector2';

    // Define the type of the segment

    connector2.type = 'Orthogonal';

    connector2.sourcePoint = { x: 250, y: 250 };

    connector2.targetPoint = { x: 350, y: 350 };

    connector2.segments = [{

            type: 'Orthogonal',

             // Defines the direction for the segment lines

            direction: "Right",

              // Defines the length for the segment lines

            length:70

            },

            {

            type:'Orthogonal',

            direction: "Bottom",

            length: 20

            }]



let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({

    width: '900px', height: '500px', connectors: [connector2],segmentThumbShape: 'Square',

    getConnectorDefaults: function (connector: ConnectorModel) {

    connector.constraints = ConnectorConstraints.Default | ConnectorConstraints.DragSegmentThumb;

    }

});

Segment Thumb Shape

Use the following CSS to customize the segment thumb shape.

 .e-orthogonal-thumb {

            stroke:#24039e;

            fill:rgb(126, 190, 219);

            stroke-width: 3px;

            }

Bezier

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

To create a bezier segment, the segment.type is set as bezier and need to specify type for the connector. The following code example illustrates how to create a default bezier segment.

import {Diagram,ConnectorModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let connectors: ConnectorModel[] = [

    {
        id: 'connector1',
        style: {
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            strokeWidth: 2
        },
        targetDecorator: {
            style: {
                fill: '#6BA5D7',
                strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
            }
        },
        type: 'Bezier',
        segments: [{
            // Defines the type of the segment
            type: 'Bezier',
        }],
        sourcePoint: {
            x: 50,
            y: 100
        },
        targetPoint: {
            x: 150,
            y: 200
        },
    },
];
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
    width: '100%',
    height: '600px',
    connectors: connectors,
});
diagram.appendTo('#element');

                fill: '#6BA5D7',
                strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
            }
        },
        segments: [{
            type: 'Bezier',
            // First control point: an absolute position from the page origin
            point1: {
                x: 100,
                y: 100

The vector1 and vector2 properties of bezier segment enable you to define the vectors. The following code illustrates how to configure a bezier curve with vectors.

import {Diagram,ConnectorModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let connectors: ConnectorModel[] = [{
    id: 'connector2',
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',

        style: {
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
        }
    },
    // Defines the type of the segment
    type: 'Bezier',
    segments: [{
        type: 'Bezier',
        // Length and angle between the source point and the first control point
        vector1: {
            distance: 100,
            angle: 90

Avoid overlapping with bezier

By default, when there are no segments defined for a bezier connector, the bezier segments will be created automatically and routed in such a way that avoids overlapping with the source and target nodes.

import {Diagram,NodeModel,ConnectorModel,ConnectorEditing,ConnectorConstraints} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
Diagram.Inject(ConnectorEditing);


let nodes: NodeModel[] = [{
    id: 'Start',
    offsetX: 250,
    offsetY: 150,
    annotations: [{ content: 'Start' }]
},
{
    id: 'End',
    offsetX: 450,
    offsetY: 200,
    annotations: [{ content: 'End' }]
}];

let connectors: ConnectorModel[] = [{
    id: "connector1",
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
        fill: '#6BA5D7',
        strokeWidth: 2
    },
    targetDecorator: { shape: 'None' },
    // ID of the source and target nodes
    sourceID: "Start",
    targetID: "End",
    type: 'Bezier'
}];

let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
    width: '100%',
    height: '600px',
    nodes: nodes,
    connectors: connectors,
    // Defines the default properties for the node
    getNodeDefaults: (node: NodeModel) => {
        node.height = 100;
        node.width = 100;
        node.shape = { type: 'Basic', shape: 'Rectangle' }
        node.style.fill = '#6BA5D7';
        node.style.strokeColor = 'white';
        return node;
    },
    getConnectorDefaults: (connector: ConnectorModel) => {
        connector.constraints = ConnectorConstraints.Default | ConnectorConstraints.DragSegmentThumb;
        return connector;
    }
});

Also, the intermediate point of two adjacent bezier segments can be edited interactively based on the bezierSettings.segmentEditOrientation property of the connector class.

How to interact with the bezier segments efficiently

While interacting with multiple bezier segments, maintain their control points at the same distance and angle by using the bezierSettings.smoothness property of the connector class.

BezierSmoothness value Description
SymmetricDistance Both control points of adjacent segments will be at the same distance when any one of them is editing.
SymmetricAngle Both control points of adjacent segments will be at the same angle when any one of them is editing.
Default Both control points of adjacent segments will be at the same angle and same distance when any one of them is editing.
None Segment’s control points are interacted independently from each other.

Decorator

  • 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.

import {Diagram,ConnectorModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let connectors: ConnectorModel = {
    id: "connector1",

Padding

Padding is used to leave the space between the Connector’s end point and the object to where it is connected.

  • The sourcePadding property of connector defines space between the source point and the source node of the connector.

  • The targetPadding property of connector defines space between the end point and the target node of the connector.

  • The following code example illustrates how to leave space between the connection end points and source and target nodes.

import {ConnectorModel,NodeModel,BasicShapeModel,Diagram} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let nodes: NodeModel[] = [{
        id: 'node',
        width: 100,
        height: 100,
        offsetX: 100,
        offsetY: 100,
    },
    {
        id: 'node1',
        width: 100,
        height: 100,
        offsetX: 300,
        offsetY: 100,
    },
];
let connectors: ConnectorModel = {
    id: "connector1",
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
        fill: '#6BA5D7',
        strokeWidth: 2
    },
    targetDecorator: {
        style: {
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
        }
    },
    sourceID: 'node',
    targetID: 'node1',
    // Set Source Padding value
    sourcePadding:20,
    // Set Target Padding value
    targetPadding:20
}

        node.style.strokeColor = 'white';
        return node;

Hit padding

  • The hitPadding property enables you to define the clickable area around the connector path.The default value for hitPadding is 10.

  • The following code example illustrates how to specify hit padding for connector.

import {
    Diagram,
    ConnectorModel,
    OrthogonalSegmentModel,ConnectorConstraints,ConnectorEditing
} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';

Diagram.Inject(ConnectorEditing);
let connectors: ConnectorModel[] = [{
    id: "connector1",
    type:"Orthogonal",
    hitPadding:40,
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
        fill: '#6BA5D7',
        strokeWidth: 2
    },
    targetDecorator: {
        style: {
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'

Flip

The diagram Provides support to flip the connector. The flip is performed to give the mirrored image of the original element.

The flip types are as follows:

  • HorizontalFlip
    Horizontal is used to interchange the connector source and target x points.

  • VerticalFlip
    Vertical is used to interchange the connector source and target y points.

  • Both
    Both is used to interchange the source point as target point and target point as source point
    .

import {ConnectorModel,NodeModel,BasicShapeModel,Diagram} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let connectors: ConnectorModel = {
    id: "connector1",
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
        fill: '#6BA5D7',
        strokeWidth: 2
    },
    targetDecorator: {
        style: {
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
        }
    },
    type: 'Orthogonal',
    sourcePoint: {
        x: 100,

    },
    targetPoint: {
        x: 200,
        y: 200
    },
    // Flip the connector in horizontal direction
    flip:"Horizontal"
}

Bridging

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.

import {Diagram,ConnectorBridging,DiagramConstraints,ConnectorModel,NodeModel}from'@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
Diagram.Inject(ConnectorBridging);
let node1: NodeModel = {
    id: 'Transaction',
    width: 150,
    height: 60,
    offsetX: 300,
    offsetY: 60,
    shape: {
        type: 'Flow',
        shape: 'Terminator'
    },
    annotations: [{
        id: 'label1',
        content: 'Start Transaction',
        offset: {
            x: 0.5,
            y: 0.5
        }
    }],
};
let node2: NodeModel = {
    id: 'Verification',
    width: 150,
    height: 60,
    offsetX: 300,
    offsetY: 250,
    shape: {
        type: 'Flow',
        shape: 'Process'
    },
    annotations: [{
        id: 'label2',
        content: 'Verification',
        offset: {

        y: 130
    },
    targetPoint: {
        x: 400,
        y: 130
    }
};
let connector3: ConnectorModel = {
    id: 'connector3',
    type: 'Straight',
    sourcePoint: {
        x: 200,
        y: 170

        y: 170
    }
};
// Enables bridging for every connector added in the model
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
    width: '100%',
    getConnectorDefaults: (obj: ConnectorModel): ConnectorModel => {
        obj.style.strokeColor = '#6BA5D7';
        obj.style.fill = '#6BA5D7';
        obj.style.strokeWidth = 2;
        obj.targetDecorator.style.fill = '#6BA5D7';
        obj.targetDecorator.style.strokeColor = '#6BA5D7';
        return obj;
    },

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

Corner radius allows to create connectors with rounded corners. The radius of the rounded corner is set with the cornerRadius property.

import {Diagram,NodeModel,ConnectorModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let nodes: NodeModel[] = [{
        id: 'node1',
        width: 100,

        offsetY: 100,
    },
    {
        id: 'node2',
        width: 100,
        height: 100,
        offsetX: 100,
        offsetY: 350,
    },

Appearance

  • 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.

Segment appearance

The following code example illustrates how to customize the segment appearance.

import {Diagram,ConnectorModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let connectors: ConnectorModel[] = [{
        id: "connector1",
        targetDecorator: {
            style: {
                strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
                fill: '#6BA5D7',
                strokeWidth: 2
            }
        },
        style: {
            // Stroke color
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            // Stroke width of the line
            strokeWidth: 2,
            // Line style
            strokeDashArray: '2,2'
        },
        sourcePoint: {
            x: 100,
            y: 100
        },
        targetPoint: {
            x: 200,
            y: 200
        },
        segments: [{
            type: 'Orthogonal',
            direction: 'Right',
            length: 50
        }],
    },
    {
        id: "connector2",
        // Set the visibility of the connector to false
        visible: false,
        targetDecorator: {
            style: {
                strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
                fill: '#6BA5D7',
                strokeWidth: 2
            }
        },
        style: {
            // Stroke color
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            // Stroke width of the line
            strokeWidth: 2,
            // Line style
            strokeDashArray: '2,2'
        },
        sourcePoint: {
            x: 300,
            y: 300
        },
        targetPoint: {
            x: 400,
            y: 400
        },
        segments: [{
            type: 'Orthogonal',
            direction: 'Right',

Decorator appearance

  • 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.

import {Diagram,ConnectorModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let connectors: ConnectorModel[] = [{
    id: "connector1",
    type: 'Straight',
    style: {
        strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
        fill: '#6BA5D7',
        strokeWidth: 2
    },
    bridgeSpace: 20,
    // Cutomize the target decorator
    targetDecorator: {
        style: {
            // Fill color of the decorator
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            // Stroke color of the decorator
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
        }
    },
    sourcePoint: {
        x: 100,
        y: 100
    },
    targetPoint: {
        x: 200,
        y: 200
    }
}];
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
    width: '100%',
    height: '600px',
    connectors: connectors,
});
diagram.appendTo('#element');

Interaction

  • Diagram allows to edit the connectors at runtime. To edit the connector segments at runtime, refer to Connection Editing.

Automatic line routing

Diagram provides additional flexibility to re-route the diagram connectors. A connector will frequently re-route itself when a shape moves next to it. The following screenshot illustrates how the connector automatically re-routes the segments.

  • Dependency LineRouting module should be injected to the application as the following code snippet.

    /**
     * Injecting the automatic line routing module.
     */
    Diagram.Inject(LineRouting);
  • Now, the line routing constraints must be included to the default diagram constraints to enable automatic line routing support like below.

    /**
     *  Initialize the Diagram
     */
       let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
             //Add Line routing constraints to diagram.
            constraints: ej.diagrams.DiagramConstraints.Default |
                        ej.diagrams.DiagramConstraints.LineRouting
        });
        diagram.appendTo('#diagram');
  • The following code block shows how to create the diagram with specifying nodes, connectors, constraints, and necessary modules for line routing.

import {
  Diagram, SnapConstraints, LineRouting, DiagramConstraints, NodeModel, ConnectorModel
} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
Diagram.Inject(LineRouting);
let nodes: NodeModel[] = [
  { id: 'shape1', offsetX: 100, offsetY: 100, width: 120, height: 50 },
  { id: 'shape2', offsetX: 300, offsetY: 300, width: 120, height: 50 },
  { id: 'shape3', offsetX: 150, offsetY: 200, width: 120, height: 50 }
];
let connectors: ConnectorModel[] = [
  { id: 'connector', sourceID: 'shape1', targetID: 'shape2', type: 'Orthogonal' }
];
//initialize the diagram control
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
  width: '100%', height: 900, nodes: nodes, connectors: connectors,
  //Add Line routing constraints to diagram.
  constraints: DiagramConstraints.Default | DiagramConstraints.LineRouting,
  getNodeDefaults: function (node) {
    node = { style: { strokeColor: '#6BA5D7', fill: '#6BA5D7' } }
    return node;
  },
  snapSettings: {
    constraints: SnapConstraints.None,
  }
});
diagram.appendTo('#element');

  • In some situations, automatic line routing enabled diagram needs to ignore a specific connector from automatic line routing. So, in this case, auto routing feature can be disabled to the specific connector using the constraints property of the connector like the following code snippet.
import {
  Diagram, SnapConstraints,ConnectorConstraints, LineRouting, DiagramConstraints, NodeModel, ConnectorModel
} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
Diagram.Inject(LineRouting);
let nodes: NodeModel[] = [
  { id: 'shape1', offsetX: 100, offsetY: 100, width: 120, height: 50 },
  { id: 'shape2', offsetX: 350, offsetY: 300, width: 120, height: 50 },
  { id: 'shape3', offsetX: 150, offsetY: 200, width: 120, height: 50 },
  { id: 'shape4', offsetX: 300, offsetY: 200, width: 120, height: 50 }
];
let connectors: ConnectorModel[] = [
  { id: 'connector', sourceID: 'shape1', targetID: 'shape2', type: 'Orthogonal',annotations:[{offset:.7,content:' Routing \n enabled',style:{fill:"white"}}]},
  { id: 'connector2', sourceID: 'shape1', targetID: 'shape2',annotations:[{offset:.6,content:' Routing \n disabled',style:{fill:"white"}}], type: 'Orthogonal', constraints: ConnectorConstraints.Default &~ ConnectorConstraints.InheritLineRouting }
];
//initialize the diagram control
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
  width: '100%', height: 900, nodes: nodes, connectors: connectors,
  //Add Line routing constraints to diagram.
  constraints: DiagramConstraints.Default | DiagramConstraints.LineRouting,
  getNodeDefaults: function (node) {
    node = { style: { strokeColor: '#6BA5D7', fill: '#6BA5D7' } }
    return node;
  },
  snapSettings: {
    constraints: SnapConstraints.None,
  }
});

Constraints

  • 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.

import {Diagram,DiagramConstraints,ConnectorConstraints,ConnectorModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let connectors: ConnectorModel = {
        id: "connector1",
        // Disables selection constraints
        constraints: ConnectorConstraints.Default & ~ConnectorConstraints.Select,
        type: 'Straight',
        style: {
            strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
            fill: '#6BA5D7',
            strokeWidth: 2
        },
        targetDecorator: {
            style: {
                fill: '#6BA5D7',
                strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
            }
        },
        sourcePoint: {
            x: 100,
            y: 100
        },
        targetPoint: {
            x: 200,
            y: 200
        }
};
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
    width: 1500,
    height: 1500,
    connectors: [connectors]
});
diagram.appendTo('#element');

Custom properties

  • The addInfo property of connectors allow you to maintain additional information to the connectors.
let connectors: ConnectorModel = {
    id: 'connector1',
    // Defines the information about the connector
    addInfo:'centralconnector',
    type: 'Straight',
    sourceID: 'Transaction',
    targetID: 'Verification'
};

Stack order

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.

import {Diagram,ConnectorModel} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';
let connectors: ConnectorModel = {
    id: 'connector1',
    // Defines the z-index value for the connector
    zIndex: 2,
    type: 'Straight',
    sourcePoint: {
        x: 300,
        y: 100
    },
    targetPoint: {
        x: 300,
        y: 200
    }
};
let connectors2: ConnectorModel = {
    id: 'connector2',
    type: 'Straight',
    // Defines the z-index value for the connector
    zIndex: 1,
    sourcePoint: {
        x: 100,
        y: 100
    },
    targetPoint: {
        x: 200,
        y: 200
    }
};
let diagram: Diagram = new Diagram({
    width: '100%',
    getConnectorDefaults: (obj: ConnectorModel): ConnectorModel => {
        obj.style.strokeColor = '#6BA5D7';
        obj.style.fill = '#6BA5D7';
        obj.style.strokeWidth = 2;
        obj.targetDecorator.style.fill = '#6BA5D7';
        obj.targetDecorator.style.strokeColor = '#6BA5D7';
        return obj;
    },
    height: '600px',
    connectors: [connectors, connectors2]
});
diagram.appendTo('#element');

Enable Connector Splitting

The connectors are used to create a link between two points, ports, or nodes to represent the relationship between them. Split the connector between two nodes when dropping a new node onto an existing connector and create a connection between the new node and existing nodes by setting the enableConnectorSplit as true. The default value of the enableConnectorSplit is false

The following code illustrates how to split the connector and create a connection with new node.

import {
    Diagram,NodeModel,ConnectorModel,ConnectorConstraints
} from '@syncfusion/ej2-diagrams';

let node1: NodeModel = {
    id: 'node1',
    width: 100, height: 100,
    offsetX: 150, offsetY: 150,
    annotations: [{ content: 'node1' }]
};
let node2: NodeModel = {
    id: 'node2',
