Connector in React Diagram component

24 Jun 2022 / 31 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.

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.

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.

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.

import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import {
Diagram,
DiagramComponent,
NodeModel,
ConnectorModel
} from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-diagrams";

let nodes: NodeModel[] = [{
    id: 'Start',
    width: 140,
    height: 50,
    offsetX: 300,
    offsetY: 100,
    //Disable InConnect constraints
    constraints: NodeConstraints.Default & ~NodeConstraints.InConnect,
}
];

ReactDOM.render( <DiagramComponent     id="diagram"
    width = {
        '100%'
    }
    height = {
        '600px'
    }
    nodes = {
        nodes
    }
    />,   document.getElementById("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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

import { Diagram,  LineRouting } from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-diagrams";
/**
 * 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
 */
  <DiagramComponent constraints={DiagramConstraints.Default | DiagramConstraints.LineRouting} />

The following code block shows how to create the diagram with specifying nodes, connectors, constraints, and necessary modules for line routing.

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.

Line Routing

Line Routing is used to avoid the overlapping of nodes and connectors. Connectors are the most important elements of a diagram used to show the flow and relationship between shapes in the flowcharts, organizational charts, and hierarchy diagrams. Line Routing provides the flexibility to re-route the diagram connectors. A connector will frequently re-route itself when a shape moves next to it.

Note: You need to inject line routing module into the diagram. Line routing is applicable only for orthogonal segment of connector.

The following code illustrates how the automatic line routing is enabled for diagram.
