Properties of a swimlane cell

Usage

const data = [
// swimlane cell object
{
type: "$sgroup",
id?: string | number,
groupChildren?: array,
style?: {
fill?: string,
overFill?: string,
partiallyFill?: string
},
exitArea?: {
groupBehavior?: "unbound" | "boundNoBorderExtension", // "unbound" by default
padding?: number
}
},
// more objects of swimlane cells
];

Description

The configuration properties of a swimlane cell are given below:

  • type - (required) the type of a swimlane cell, set it to "$sgroup"
  • id - (optional) the unique id of a swimlane cell
  • groupChildren - (optional) an array with ids of the first-level child items of a cell
  • style - (optional) an object with the style settings of the cell. The object can contain the following properties:
    • fill - (optional) the background color of the cell
    • overFill - (optional) the background color of the cell when the user is holding the item and moving it into/outside the cell providing that no less than 75% of the item's area is inside the cell
    • partiallyFill - (optional) the background color of the cell when the user is holding the item and moving it into/outside the cell providing that 75% of the item's area or more is out of the cell and other settings are not defined via the exitArea attribute
  • exitArea - (optional) an object with the settings which will be applied to the item when the user is dragging it out of the cell (is applied only to the first-level children of the cell). The object can contain the following attributes:
    • groupBehavior - (optional) the behavior of the child item of the cell when the user is moving it out of the cell:
      • "unbound" (by default) - the user can move an item into or outside the cell
      • "boundNoBorderExtension" - the user can move an item into the cell but cannot drag the item outside the cell if the item has been dropped inside the cell. The item won't expand the borders of the cell when trying to drag the item outside the cell
    • padding - (optional) defines the padding between the cell and the edge of the item when moving the item inside the cell.
      tip

      The padding attribute is available if groupBehavior: "boundNoBorderExtension"
