Annotation events in Vue Diagram component

There are some events which will trigger while interacting with annotation.

  • KeyDown.
  • KeyUp.
  • DoubleClick.
  • TextEdit.

KeyDown event

The keyDown event is triggered whenever any key is pressed. The following example shows how to capture the keyDown event and modify the fill color of a node on each key press:

<template>
  <div id="app">
      <ejs-diagram id="diagram" ref="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :keyDown="keyDown"></ejs-diagram>
  </div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { onMounted, ref } from "vue";
import { DiagramComponent as EjsDiagram } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';

const nodes = [{
  // Position of the node
  offsetX: 250,
  offsetY: 250,
  // Size of the node
  width: 100,
  height: 100,
  // Sets the annotation for the node
  annotations: [{
      content: 'Annotation',
  }]
}];
const diagram = ref(null);
const width = "750px";
const height = "500px";
let color = 'pink';
const keyDown = (args) => {
  const diagramInstance = diagram.value.ej2Instances;
  if (color === 'pink') {
      color = 'yellow';
      diagramInstance.nodes[0].style.fill = 'red';
      diagramInstance.dataBind();
  } else {
      color = 'pink';
      diagramInstance.nodes[0].style.fill = 'pink';
      diagramInstance.dataBind();
  }
};

    </div>
</template>
<script>
import { DiagramComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';

let nodes = [{
    // Position of the node
    offsetX: 250,
    offsetY: 250,
    // Size of the node
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    // Sets the annotation for the node
    annotations: [{
        content: 'Annotation',
    }]
}];

let color = 'pink';

export default {
    name: "App",
    components: {
        "ejs-diagram": DiagramComponent
    },
    data() {
        return {
            width: "100%",
            height: "500px",
            nodes: nodes,
            keyDown: (args) => {
              const diagramInstance = this.$refs.diagram.ej2Instances;
              if (color === 'pink') {
                color = 'yellow';
                diagramInstance.nodes[0].style.fill = 'red';
                diagramInstance.dataBind();
              } else {
                color = 'pink';
                diagramInstance.nodes[0].style.fill = 'pink';
                diagramInstance.dataBind();
              }
            },
        }
    }

KeyUp event

The keyUp event is triggered whenever we press and release any key. The following example shows how to capture the keyUp event and modify the fill color of a node on each key press:

<template>
  <div id="app">
      <ejs-diagram id="diagram" ref="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :keyUp="keyUp"></ejs-diagram>
  </div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { onMounted, ref } from "vue";
import { DiagramComponent as EjsDiagram } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';

const nodes = [{
  // Position of the node
  offsetX: 250,
  offsetY: 250,
  // Size of the node
  width: 100,
  height: 100,
  // Sets the annotation for the node
  annotations: [{
      content: 'Annotation',
  }]
}];

const diagram = ref(null);
const width = "750px";
const height = "500px";
let color = 'pink';
const keyUp = (args) => {
  const diagramInstance = diagram.value.ej2Instances;
  if (color === 'pink') {
      color = 'yellow';
      diagramInstance.nodes[0].style.fill = 'red';
      diagramInstance.dataBind();
  } else {
      color = 'pink';
      diagramInstance.nodes[0].style.fill = 'pink';
      diagramInstance.dataBind();
  }
};

    </div>
</template>
<script>
import { DiagramComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';

let nodes = [{
    // Position of the node
    offsetX: 250,
    offsetY: 250,
    // Size of the node
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    // Sets the annotation for the node
    annotations: [{
        content: 'Annotation',
    }]
}];

let color = 'pink';

export default {
    name: "App",
    components: {
        "ejs-diagram": DiagramComponent
    },
    data() {
        return {
            width: "100%",
            height: "500px",
            nodes: nodes,
            keyUp: (args) => {
              const diagramInstance = this.$refs.diagram.ej2Instances;
              if (color === 'pink') {
                color = 'yellow';
                diagramInstance.nodes[0].style.fill = 'red';
                diagramInstance.dataBind();
              } else {
                color = 'pink';
                diagramInstance.nodes[0].style.fill = 'pink';
                diagramInstance.dataBind();
              }
            },
        }

Double click event

The doubleClick event is triggered when you double-click on a node, connector, or the diagram surface. Double-clicking on a diagram element activates the annotation editing mode. The following code example shows how to capture the doubleClick event:

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-diagram id="diagram" ref="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :doubleClick="doubleClick"></ejs-diagram>
    </div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { DiagramComponent as EjsDiagram } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';

const nodes = [{
    // Position of the node
    offsetX: 250,
    offsetY: 250,
    // Size of the node
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    // Sets the annotation for the node
    annotations: [{
        content: 'Annotation',
    }]
}];

const width = "750px";
const height = "500px";
let color = 'pink';
const doubleClick = (args) => {
    // Handle double-click event for custom logic
};

</script>
<style>
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams/styles/tailwind3.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/tailwind3.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/tailwind3.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/tailwind3.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/tailwind3.css";
</style>
<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-diagram id="diagram" ref="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :doubleClick="doubleClick"></ejs-diagram>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import { DiagramComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';

let nodes = [{
    // Position of the node
    offsetX: 250,
    offsetY: 250,
    // Size of the node
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    // Sets the annotation for the node
    annotations: [{
        content: 'Annotation',
    }]
}];

export default {
    name: "App",
    components: {
        "ejs-diagram": DiagramComponent
    },
    data() {
        return {
            width: "100%",
            height: "500px",
            nodes: nodes,
            doubleClick: (args) => {
              // Handle double-click event for custom logic
            },
        }
    }
}
</script>
<style>
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams/styles/tailwind3.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/tailwind3.css";

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/tailwind3.css";
</style>

TextEdit event

The textEdit event triggers when you finish editing the annotation text and the focus is removed from the annotation text.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-diagram id="diagram" ref="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :textEdit="textEdit"></ejs-diagram>
    </div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { DiagramComponent as EjsDiagram } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';

const nodes = [{
    // Position of the node
    offsetX: 250,
    offsetY: 250,
    // Size of the node
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    // Sets the annotation for the node
    annotations: [{
        content: 'Annotation',
    }]
}];

const width = "750px";
const height = "500px";
let color = 'pink';
const textEdit = (args) => {
    // Handle text-edit event for custom logic
};

</script>
<style>
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams/styles/tailwind3.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/tailwind3.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/tailwind3.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/tailwind3.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/tailwind3.css";
</style>
<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-diagram id="diagram" ref="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :textEdit="textEdit"></ejs-diagram>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import { DiagramComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';

let nodes = [{
    // Position of the node
    offsetX: 250,
    offsetY: 250,
    // Size of the node
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    // Sets the annotation for the node
    annotations: [{
        content: 'Annotation',
    }]
}];

export default {
    name: "App",
    components: {
        "ejs-diagram": DiagramComponent
    },
    data() {
        return {
            width: "100%",
            height: "500px",
            nodes: nodes,
            textEdit: (args) => {
              // Handle text-edit event for custom logic
            },
        }
    }
}
</script>
<style>
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams/styles/tailwind3.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/tailwind3.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/tailwind3.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/tailwind3.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/tailwind3.css";
</style>

You can prevent adding new text to the annotation by setting the cancel property of textEdit to true.

textEdit: function (args) {
    // Prevents any new content from being added to the annotation
    args.cancel = true;
  },

Selection change event

The selectionChange event is triggered when an annotation of a node or connector is selected in the diagram.

You can prevent selection by setting the cancel property of SelectionChangeEventArgs to true, as shown in the code snippet below.

selectionChange: function (args) {
  if (args.state === 'Changing') {
    // Prevents selection
    args.cancel = true;
  }
}
