Methods

  • Converts the path shape to its path data representation.

    Returns string

    Returns the path data (d attribute) as a string.

  • Retrieves the data for our own plugin, given a specific key.

    Parameters

    • key: string

      The key for which to retrieve the data.

    Returns string

    Returns the data associated with the key as a string.

    const data = shape.getPluginData('exampleKey');
    console.log(data);
  • Sets the plugin-specific data for the given key.

    Parameters

    • key: string

      The key for which to set the data.

    • value: string

      The data to set for the key.

    Returns void

    shape.setPluginData('exampleKey', 'exampleValue');
    
  • Retrieves all the keys for the plugin-specific data.

    Returns string[]

    Returns an array of strings representing all the keys.

    const keys = shape.getPluginDataKeys();
    console.log(keys);
  • If we know the namespace of an external plugin, this is the way to get their data.

    Parameters

    • namespace: string

      The namespace for the shared data.

    • key: string

      The key for which to retrieve the data.

    Returns string

    Returns the shared data associated with the key as a string.

    const sharedData = shape.getSharedPluginData('exampleNamespace', 'exampleKey');
    console.log(sharedData);
  • Sets the shared plugin-specific data for the given namespace and key.

    Parameters

    • namespace: string

      The namespace for the shared data.

    • key: string

      The key for which to set the data.

    • value: string

      The data to set for the key.

    Returns void

    shape.setSharedPluginData('exampleNamespace', 'exampleKey', 'exampleValue');
    
  • Retrieves all the keys for the shared plugin-specific data in the given namespace.

    Parameters

    • namespace: string

      The namespace for the shared data.

    Returns string[]

    Returns an array of strings representing all the keys in the namespace.

    const sharedKeys = shape.getSharedPluginDataKeys('exampleNamespace');
    console.log(sharedKeys);
  • Returns null | Shape

    Returns the root of the component tree structure for the current shape. If the current shape is already a root will return itself.

  • Returns null | Shape

    Returns the head of the component tree structure for the current shape. If the current shape is already a head will return itself.

  • If the current shape is a component it will remove the component information and leave the shape as a "basic shape"

    Returns void

  • Resizes the shape to the specified width and height.

    Parameters

    • width: number

      The new width of the shape.

    • height: number

      The new height of the shape.

    Returns void

    shape.resize(200, 100);
    
  • Rotates the shape in relation with the given center.

    Parameters

    • angle: number

      Angle in degrees to rotate.

    • Optionalcenter: null | {
          x: number;
          y: number;
      }

      Center of the transform rotation. If not send will use the geometri center of the shapes.

    Returns void

    shape.rotate(45);
    
  • Generates an export from the current shape.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<Uint8Array>

    shape.export({ type: 'png', scale: 2 });
    
  • Adds a new interaction to the shape.

    Parameters

    • trigger: Trigger

      defines the conditions under which the action will be triggered

    • action: Action

      defines what will be executed when the trigger happens

    • Optionaldelay: number

      for the type of trigger after-delay will specify the time after triggered. Ignored otherwise.

    Returns Interaction

    shape.addInteraction('click', { type: 'navigate-to', destination: anotherBoard });
    
  • Removes the interaction from the shape.

    Parameters

    • interaction: Interaction

      is the interaction to remove from the shape

    Returns void

    shape.removeInteraction(interaction);
