How to Disable Snap to Lines in React Diagram?

The Syncfusion® React Diagram component features Snap to Lines functionality that helps in aligning diagram objects with gridlines during drag-and-drop actions. By default, this snapping behavior is available by injecting the Snapping providers, but you can disable it to gain more precise control over the positioning of nodes and connectors, all while keeping the gridlines visible.

To enable smoother movement of diagram objects, you can adjust the snap settings in your diagram configuration by removing the SnapToLines constraint from the SnapConstraints. Here’s how you can do it:

import { DiagramComponent, SnapConstraints, Snapping, Inject } from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-diagrams";

let snapSettings = {
    constraints: SnapConstraints.All & ~(
        SnapConstraints.SnapToHorizontalLines |
        SnapConstraints.SnapToVerticalLines |
        SnapConstraints.SnapToLines
    ),
};

function App() {
    return (
        <DiagramComponent
            id="diagram"
            width={'100%'}
            height={'600px'}
            snapSettings={snapSettings}
        >
            <Inject services={[Snapping]} />
        </DiagramComponent>
    );
}
