Es5 getting started in EJ2 JavaScript Diagram control

4 Dec 202424 minutes to read

The Essential® JS 2 for JavaScript (global script) is an ES5 formatted pure JavaScript framework which can be directly used in latest web browsers.

Component Initialization

The Essential® JS 2 JavaScript components can be initialized by using either of the following ways.

Using local script and style references in a HTML page.
Using CDN link for script and style reference.

Using local script and style references in a HTML page

Step 1: Create an app folder my-diagram-app for Essential® JS 2 JavaScript components.

Step 2: You can get the global scripts and styles from the Essential Studio® JavaScript (Essential® JS 2) build installed location.

Syntax:

Script: **(installed location)**/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/{RELEASE_VERSION}/Essential JS 2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Styles: **(installed location)**/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/{RELEASE_VERSION}/Essential JS 2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/styles/material.css

Example:

Script: C:/Program Files (x86)/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/15.4.30/Essential JS 2/ej2-diagrams/dist/global/ej2-diagrams.min.js

Styles: C:/Program Files (x86)/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/15.4.30/Essential JS 2/ej2-diagrams/styles/material.css

Step 3: Create a folder my-diagram-app/resources and copy/paste the global scripts and styles from the above installed location to my-diagram-app/resources location.

Step 4: Create a HTML page (index.html) in my-diagram-app location and add the Essentials® JS 2 script and style references.

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>Essential® JS 2</title>
            <!-- Essential® JS 2 material theme -->
            <link href="resources/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- Essential® JS 2 Diagram's global script -->
            <script src="resources/ej2-diagrams.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
       </body>
  </html>

Step 5: Now, add the Diagram element and initiate the Essential® JS 2 Diagram component in the index.html by using following code

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>Essential® JS 2</title>
            <!-- Essential® JS 2 material theme -->
            <link href="resources/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- Essential® JS 2 Diagram's global script -->
            <script src="resources/ej2-diagrams.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
            <!-- Add the HTML <div> element  -->
             <div id="element">Diagram</div>
            <script>
                // initialize diagram component
                var diagram = new ej.diagrams.Diagram();

                // Render initialized diagram.
                diagram.appendTo('#element')
            </script>
       </body>
  </html>

Step 6: Now, run the index.html in web browser, it will render the Essential® JS 2 Diagram component.

Using CDN link for script and style reference

Step 1: Create an app folder my-diagram-app for the Essential® JS 2 JavaScript components.

Step 2: The Essential® JS 2 component’s global scripts and styles are already hosted in the below CDN link formats.

Syntax:

Script: http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Styles: http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/styles/material.css

Example:

Script: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/25.2.3/dist/ej2.min.js

Styles: http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-diagrams/styles/material.css

Step 3: Create a HTML page (index.html) in my-diagram-app location and add the CDN link references. Now, add the Diagram element and initiate the Essential® JS 2 Diagram component in the index.html by using following code.

index.js
index.html
ej.diagrams.Diagram.Inject(ej.diagrams.DataBinding, ej.diagrams.HierarchicalTree);
 
   var data = [
	{ Name: "Elizabeth", Role: "Director" },
	{ Name: "Christina", ReportingPerson: "Elizabeth", Role: "Manager" },
	{ Name: "Yoshi", ReportingPerson: "Christina", Role: "Lead" },
	{ Name: "Philip", ReportingPerson: "Christina", Role: "Lead" },
	{ Name: "Yang", ReportingPerson: "Elizabeth", Role: "Manager" },
	{ Name: "Roland", ReportingPerson: "Yang", Role: "Lead" },
	{ Name: "Yvonne", ReportingPerson: "Yang", Role: "Lead" }
];

var codes  = {
	Director: "rgb(0, 139,139)",
	Manager: "rgb(30, 30,113)",
	Lead: "rgb(0, 100,0)"
};

function getNodeTemplate(node) {
        node.annotations[0].content = node.data.Name;
        node.style.fill = codes[node.data.Role];
    }
    
var items = new ej.data.DataManager(data, new ej.data.Query().take(7));
var diagram = new ej.diagrams.Diagram({
    width: '100%', height: '350px',
    mode: 'SVG', snapSettings: { constraints: ej.diagrams.SnapConstraints.None },
     dataSourceSettings: {
            id: 'Name', parentId: 'ReportingPerson', dataManager: items
        },
       layout: {
            type: 'OrganizationalChart',
            margin: { left: 10, top: 10 },
            horizontalSpacing: 50,
            verticalSpacing: 50,
            orientation: 'TopToBottom',
            getLayoutInfo: function (node, tree) {
                if (!tree.hasSubTree) {
                    tree.orientation = 'Vertical';
                    tree.type = 'Alternate';
                }
            }
        },
            getNodeDefaults: function (obj, diagram) {
            obj.height = 30;
            obj.width = 70;
            obj.shape = { type: 'Basic', shape: 'Rectangle' };
            obj.annotations = [{
                    id: "label1",
                    style: {
                        fontSize: 11,
                        bold: true,
                        fontFamily: "Segoe UI",
                        color: "white"
                    }
                }];
            return obj;
        },
        getConnectorDefaults: function (connector, diagram) {
            connector.targetDecorator.shape = 'Arrow';
            connector.type = 'Orthogonal';
            return connector;
        },
        setNodeTemplate: function (node) {
            return getNodeTemplate(node);
        }
        
});
diagram.appendTo('#element');

if(ele) {
  ele.style.visibility = "visible";
}   
      </script>
<script src="index.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body></html>

Step 4: Now, run the index.html in web browser, it will render the Essential® JS 2 Diagram component.

Module Injection

The diagram component is divided into individual feature-wise modules. In order to use a particular feature, inject the required module. The following list describes the module names and their description.

BpmnDiagrams: Inject this provider to add built-in BPMN shapes to diagrams.
ConnectorBridging: Inject this provider to add bridges to connectors.
ConnectorEditing: Inject this provider to edit the segments for connector.
ComplexHierarchicalTree: Inject this provider to complex hierarchical tree like structure.
DataBinding: Inject this provider to populate nodes from given data source.
DiagramContextMenu: Inject this provider to manipulate context menu.
HierarchicalTree: Inject this provider to use hierarchical tree like structure.
LayoutAnimation: Inject this provider animation to layouts.
MindMap: Inject this provider to use mind map.
PrintAndExport: Inject this provider to print or export the objects.
RadialTree: Inject this provider to use radial tree like structure.
Snapping: Inject this provider to snap the objects.
SymmetricLayout: Inject this provider to render layout in symmetrical method.
UndoRedo: Inject this provider to revert and restore the changes.
Ej1Serialization - Inject this provider to load ej1 diagram json in ej2 diagram.

These modules should be imported and injected into the Diagram component using ej.diagrams.Diagram.Inject method as follows.

ej.diagrams.Diagram.Inject(
  ej.diagrams.BpmnDiagrams,
  ej.diagrams.ConnectorBridging,
  ej.diagrams.ConnectorEditing,
  ej.diagrams.ComplexHierarchicalTree,
  ej.diagrams.DataBinding,
  ej.diagrams.DiagramContextMenu,
  ej.diagrams.HierarchicalTree,
  ej.diagrams.LayoutAnimation,
  ej.diagrams.MindMap,
  ej.diagrams.PrintAndExport,
  ej.diagrams.RadialTree,
  ej.diagrams.Snapping,
  ej.diagrams.SymmetricLayout,
  ej.diagrams.UndoRedo
);

var diagram = new ej.diagrams.Diagram({
  width: '100%',
  height: '350px',
});
diagram.appendTo('#element');

Basic Diagram elements

Node: Visualizes any graphical object using nodes, which can also be arranged and manipulated on a diagram page.
Connector: Represents the relationship between two nodes. Three types of connectors provided as follows:


1) Orthogonal
2) Bezier
3) Straight

Port: Acts as the connection points of node or connector and allows you to create connections with only specific points.
Annotation: Shows additional information by adding text or labels on nodes and connectors.

Flow Diagram

Create and add node to the diagram

Create and add a node (JSON data) with specific position, size.

index.js
index.html
var nodes = [
    {
        id: 'Start', width: 140, height: 50, offsetX: 300, offsetY: 50,
    }
];

var diagram = new ej.diagrams.Diagram({
    width: '100%', height: '600px', nodes: nodes
    }, '#element');

  ele.style.visibility = "visible";
}   
      </script>
<script src="index.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body></html>

Apply shape and style to node

Syncfusion® diagram control provides support to render many build-in shapes in diagram.
Please refer to Shapes to know about built-in Shapes.

The appearance of a node can be customized by changing its fill color, strokeColor, strokeWidth, borderColor, borderWidth, strokeDashArray, opacity, and shadow.

index.js
index.html
var nodes = [
    {
        id: 'Start', width: 140, height: 50, offsetX: 300, offsetY: 50,
        annotations: [{
            id: 'label1',
            content: 'Start'
        }],
	    shape: { type: 'Flow', shape: 'Terminator'},
         //To define the shape of the node
	    shape: { type: 'Flow', shape: 'Terminator'},
        //To define border style for the node.
        borderColor:'orange',borderWidth:10,
        //To define style for the node.
        style:{fill:'red',strokeColor:'green',strokeWidth:5,strokeDashArray:'2 2'}
    }
];

var diagram = new ej.diagrams.Diagram({
    width: '100%', height: '600px', nodes: nodes
    }, '#element');

Add other flowchart nodes to the diagram

You can add multiple nodes with different shapes into diagram.

index.js
index.html
var nodes = [
    {
      id: 'Start',
      offsetY: 50,
      annotations: [{ content: 'Start' }],
      shape: { type: 'Flow', shape: 'Terminator' },
    },
    {
      id: 'Init',
      offsetY: 140,
      annotations: [{ content: 'var i = 0;' }],
      shape: { type: 'Flow', shape: 'Process' },
    },
    {
      id: 'Condition',
      offsetY: 230,
      annotations: [{ content: 'i < 10?' }],
      shape: { type: 'Flow', shape: 'Decision' },
    },
  ];
  
  var diagram = new ej.diagrams.Diagram(
    {
      width: '100%',
      height: '600px',
      nodes: nodes,
      getNodeDefaults: (node) => {
        node.height = 50;
        node.width = 140;
        node.offsetX = 300;
        node.style = { fill: 'skyblue', strokeColor: 'skyblue' };
        return node;
      },
    },
    '#element'
  );

Connect flow chart nodes

Connect these nodes by adding a connector using the connectors property of diagram and refer the source and target end by using the sourceID and targetID properties.
The required nodes and connectors can be added to form a complete flow diagram.

index.js
index.html
var nodes = [
    {
      id: 'Start',

Default values for all nodes and connectors can be set using the getNodeDefaults and getConnectorDefaults properties, respectively. For example, if all nodes have the same width and height, such properties can be moved into getNodeDefaults.

Automatic organization chart

In the ‘Flow Diagram’ section, how to create a diagram manually was discussed. This section explains how to create and position the diagram automatically.

Create Business object (Employee information)

Define Employee Information as JSON data. The following code example shows an employee array whose, Name is used as an unique identifier and ReportingPerson is used to identify the person to whom an employee report to, in the organization.

//Initialize data source...
let data = [{Name: "Elizabeth", Role: "Director" },
{ Name: "Christina", ReportingPerson: "Elizabeth", Role: "Manager" },
{ Name: "Yoshi", ReportingPerson: "Christina", Role: "Lead" },
{ Name: "Philip", ReportingPerson: "Christina", Role: "Lead" },
{ Name: "Yang", ReportingPerson: "Elizabeth", Role: "Manager" },
{ Name: "Roland", ReportingPerson: "Yang", Role: "Lead" },
{ Name: "Yvonne", ReportingPerson: "Yang", Role: "Lead" }
];

Map data source to diagram

You can configure the above “Employee Information” with diagram, so that the nodes and connectors are automatically generated using the mapping properties. The following code example show how dataSourceSettings is used to map ID and parent with property name identifiers for employee information.

//Initialize data source...

let data = [
  { Name: 'Elizabeth', Role: 'Director' },
  { Name: 'Christina', ReportingPerson: 'Elizabeth', Role: 'Manager' },
  { Name: 'Yoshi', ReportingPerson: 'Christina', Role: 'Lead' },
  { Name: 'Philip', ReportingPerson: 'Christina', Role: 'Lead' },
  { Name: 'Yang', ReportingPerson: 'Elizabeth', Role: 'Manager' },
  { Name: 'Roland', ReportingPerson: 'Yang', Role: 'Lead' },
  { Name: 'Yvonne', ReportingPerson: 'Yang', Role: 'Lead' },
];
let items = new ej.data.DataManager(data, new ej.data.Query().take(7));

var diagram = new ej.diagrams.Diagram({
  width: '100%',
  height: '350px',
});
diagram.appendTo('#element');

Rendering layout with Datasource

To create an organizational chart, the type of layout should be set as an OrganizationalChart. The following code example shows how DataManager is used to generate Layout based on the DataSourceSettings of the Diagram.

index.js
index.html
ej.diagrams.Diagram.Inject(
    ej.diagrams.DataBinding,
    ej.diagrams.HierarchicalTree
  );
  
  var data = [
    { Name: 'Elizabeth', Role: 'Director' },
    { Name: 'Christina', ReportingPerson: 'Elizabeth', Role: 'Manager' },
    { Name: 'Yoshi', ReportingPerson: 'Christina', Role: 'Lead' },
    { Name: 'Philip', ReportingPerson: 'Christina', Role: 'Lead' },
    { Name: 'Yang', ReportingPerson: 'Elizabeth', Role: 'Manager' },
    { Name: 'Roland', ReportingPerson: 'Yang', Role: 'Lead' },
    { Name: 'Yvonne', ReportingPerson: 'Yang', Role: 'Lead' },
  ];
  
  var codes = {
    Director: 'rgb(0, 139,139)',
    Manager: 'rgb(30, 30,113)',
    Lead: 'rgb(0, 100,0)',
  };
  
  function getNodeTemplate(node) {
    node.annotations[0].content = node.data.Name;
    node.style.fill = codes[node.data.Role];
  }
  
  var items = new ej.data.DataManager(data, new ej.data.Query().take(7));
  var diagram = new ej.diagrams.Diagram({
    width: '100%',
    height: '350px',
    mode: 'SVG',
    snapSettings: { constraints: ej.diagrams.SnapConstraints.None },
    dataSourceSettings: {

      orientation: 'TopToBottom',
      getLayoutInfo: function (node, tree) {
        if (!tree.hasSubTree) {
          tree.orientation = 'Vertical';
          tree.type = 'Alternate';
        }
      },
    },
    getNodeDefaults: function (obj, diagram) {
      obj.height = 30;
      obj.width = 70;
      obj.shape = { type: 'Basic', shape: 'Rectangle' };
      obj.annotations = [
        {
          id: 'label1',
          style: {
            fontSize: 11,
            bold: true,
            fontFamily: 'Segoe UI',
            color: 'white',
          },
        },
      ];
      return obj;
    },
    getConnectorDefaults: function (connector, diagram) {
      connector.targetDecorator.shape = 'Arrow';
      connector.cornerRadius = 7;
      connector.type = 'Orthogonal';
      return connector;
    },
    setNodeTemplate: function (node) {
      return getNodeTemplate(node);
    },
  });
  diagram.appendTo('#element');
