How to Perform Drag and Drop Operation in OrgChart React Diagram?
In the OrgChart sample, one can create a parent/child relationship by dragging and dropping a node onto another node using the drop event in React Diagram.
Additionally, the AllowDrop constraints need to be enabled to display a highlighter when dragging the node and hovering the mouse over another node.
Please refer to the provided code example for more information.
<DiagramComponent
id="diagram"
ref={(diagram) => (diagramInstance = diagram)}
width={'100%'}
height={'700px'}
// Sets the default values of a node
getNodeDefaults={(node) => {
node.constraints =
NodeConstraints.Default | NodeConstraints.AllowDrop;
return node;
}}
dataSourceSettings={{
// Sets the fields to bind
id: 'Name',
parentId: 'Category',
dataSource: new DataManager(hierarchicalTree),
doBinding: (nodeModel, data, diagram) => {
nodeModel.shape = {
type: 'Text',
content: data.Name,
};
},
}}
layout={{
type: 'HierarchicalTree',
verticalSpacing: 30,
horizontalSpacing: 40,
enableAnimation: true,
}}
drop={(args) => {
setTimeout(() => {
var connector = {};
if (args.element && args.target) {
if (args.element) {
// Get a connector object
connector = diagramInstance.getObject(
args.element.inEdges[0]
);
}
// This block executes when we drag any node in the diagram and drop it onto another node
if (connector) {
// Update connector source and target ID
connector.sourceID = args.target.id;
connector.targetID = args.element.id;
diagramInstance.dataBind();
} else {
// This block executes when we drag a node from the palette and drop it onto a node in the diagram
if (args.target.id !== args.element.id) {
diagramInstance.add({
id: 'connector' + randomId(),
sourceID: args.target.id,
targetID: args.element.id,
});
}
}
// To update the layout
diagramInstance.doLayout();
}
}, 100);
diagramInstance.fitToPage();
}}
>
<Inject services={[UndoRedo, DataBinding, HierarchicalTree]} />
</DiagramComponent>
