How to create custom shapes using template binding in Vue Diagram

The Syncfusion® Vue Diagram supports rendering custom HTML content within nodes using template binding. This allows you to create nodes with dynamic HTML elements such as buttons, forms, or other content.

To define a node with custom HTML content, set the shape property of the node to HTML. Specify the template content using the nodeTemplate function. Here’s how:

<template>
 <div class="control-section">
   <div class="content-wrapper">
     <ejs-diagram
       ref="diagramObj"
       id="diagram"
       :nodes="nodes"
       :getNodeDefaults="getNodeDefaults"
       :nodeTemplate="nodeTemplate"
     ></ejs-diagram>
   </div>
 </div>
</template>

data: function () {
   return {
     width: '100%',
     height: '700px',
     nodes: [{
       id: 'node1',
       offsetX: 100,
       offsetY: 100,
       width: 100,
       height: 100
     }],
     nodeTemplate: function () {
       return {
         template: createApp({}).component('nodeTemplate', NodeTemplate),
       };
     },
     getNodeDefaults: (obj, diagram) => {
        obj.shape ={type:'HTML'}
        obj.backgroundColor = '#6BA5D7'
        return obj;
     },
   };
 },
  

Define the Custom HTML Template:

The custom HTML content is defined inside the template.vue component.

<template>
   <div>
     <button @click="nodeBtnClick">Button</button>
   </div>
</template>
