Description
How can I persist the data source of the connections or the additional shape properties that are used in the custom visual of the Kendo UI for jQuery Diagram?
Solution
In real-live applications, you can easily store the position and other properties of the Diagram in the data source you use by applying the DataSource methods that correspond to your project.
By using the same approach, you can persist the data source of the connections, the additional shape properties that are used in the custom visual, and others.
The following example demonstrates how to use the session storage of the browser to persist the Shape properties of the Diagram, so that when the user reloads the page, the position and the other properties of the widget are stored.
<div id="diagram"></div>
<script>
var originalData = [{ "Id": 1, "JobTitle": "President", "Color": "", "x": 50, "y": 100 }, { "Id": 2, "JobTitle": "VP Finance", "Color": "#3399cc", "x": 200, "y": 200 }, { "Id": 3, "JobTitle": "VP Customer Relations", "Color": "#3399cc", "x": 300, "y": 300 }, { "Id": 4, "JobTitle": "VP Human Resources", "Color": "#3399cc", "x": 400, "y": 400 }];
$(function () {
$(document).ready(function () {
createDiagram();
});
function createDiagram() {
var dataShapes = JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem("shapes"));
if(!dataShapes || dataShapes.length == 0){
sessionStorage.setItem("shapes", JSON.stringify(originalData));
dataShapes = originalData;
}else{
dataShapes = JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem("shapes"));
}
var dataConnections = [{ "Id": 1, "FromShapeId": 1, "ToShapeId": 2, "Text": null }, { "Id": 2, "FromShapeId": 1, "ToShapeId": 3, "Text": null }, { "Id": 3, "FromShapeId": 1, "ToShapeId": 4, "Text": null }];
