Changes for 2.1.55

In GoJS 2.2 we introduced a number of changes to reduce the need to rely on GraphObject.make. These are aimed at simplifying template authoring, while also expanding TypeScript type support.

Code with GraphObject.make such as this:

const $ = go.GraphObject.make;

const myDiagram = $(go.Diagram, "myDiagramDiv",
  {
    "undoManager.isEnabled": true
  });

myDiagram.nodeTemplate =
  $(go.Node, "Auto",
    new go.Binding("location", "loc", go.Point.parse).makeTwoWay(go.Point.stringify),
    $(go.Shape, "RoundedRectangle",
      { strokeWidth: 0, fill: "white" },
      new go.Binding("fill", "color")),
    $(go.TextBlock,
      { margin: 8, font: "bold 14px sans-serif", stroke: '#333' },
      new go.Binding("text", "key"))
  );

Can now be written as:

const myDiagram = new go.Diagram("myDiagramDiv",
  {
    "undoManager.isEnabled": true
  });

myDiagram.nodeTemplate =
  new go.Node("Auto")
    .bind("location", "loc", go.Point.parse, go.Point.stringify)
    .add(new go.Shape("RoundedRectangle",
      { strokeWidth: 0, fill: "white" })
      .bind("fill", "color"))
    .add(new go.TextBlock(
      { margin: 8, font: "bold 14px sans-serif", stroke: '#333' })
      .bind("text", "key"));

thanks. To upgrade to 2.2.x, it means we do not have to change our code to migrate from 2.1.x right?

That is correct, unless your code is improperly depending on unsupported features.

I see, thank you walter.
