Add custom properties at diagram level

GoJS
1

Hello,

Can i add custom properties at the diagram level?

2

On the Diagram or on the Model? Those are both “at the diagram level”, because they are not individual Parts such as Nodes or Links.

There is the Model.modelData property, which is a JavaScript object to which you can add as many properties as you wish. If you are depending on JSON serialization, though, you should make sure that the property values are JSON-serializable.

as an eg. i want to add an customizable property to the json data …

{ “class”: “go.GraphLinksModel”,
“Customizable”:“true”,
“linkFromPortIdProperty”: “fromPort”,
“linkToPortIdProperty”: “toPort”,
“nodeDataArray”: [
{“category”:“Comment”, “loc”:“360 -10”, “text”:“Kookie Brittle”, “key”:-13},
{“key”:-1, “category”:“Start”, “loc”:“175 0”, “text”:“Start”},
{“key”:0, “loc”:“0 77”, “text”:“Preheat oven to 375 F”},
{“key”:1, “loc”:“175 100”, “text”:“In a bowl, blend: 1 cup margarine, 1.5 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon salt”},
{“key”:2, “loc”:“175 190”, “text”:“Gradually beat in 1 cup sugar and 2 cups sifted flour”},

I suppose you could implement that yourself, but putting extra properties on the model itself is not documented. That is why I suggested that you use what is documented and supported: Model | GoJS API.

You can find examples by searching the sources.
