npm install -g @vue/cli
vue create quickstart
cd quickstart
npm run serve

You can register the Diagram component in your application by using the Vue.use(). Refer to the code example given below.

import { DiagramPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';

Vue.use(DiagramPlugin);

Registering DiagramPlugin in vue, will register the diagram component along with its required child directives globally.

        <ejs-diagram id="diagram"  :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :connectors='connectors'></ejs-diagram>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { DiagramPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams";

Vue.use(DiagramPlugin);

//Initializes the nodes for the diagram
let nodes: NodeModel[] = [
  {
    id: "begin",
    height: 60,
    offsetX: 300,
    offsetY: 80,
    shape: { type: "Flow", shape: "Terminator" },

//Initializes the connector for the diagram
let connectors: ConnectorModel[] = [
  { id: "connector1", sourceID: "begin", targetID: "process" },
  { id: "connector2", sourceID: "process", targetID: "end" },
];

export default {
  data() {
    return {
       width: "100%",
       height: "350px",
       nodes: nodes,
       connectors: connectors
    };

Use case demos

Key Features

Nodes - Nodes are used to host graphical objects (path or controls) that can be arranged and manipulated on a diagram page. Many predefined standard shapes are included. Custom shapes can also be created and added easily.
Connectors - The relationship between two nodes is represented using a connector.
Labels- Labels are used to annotate nodes and connectors.

Ports - Ports act as the connection points of the node and allows to create connections with only those specific points.

Interactive Features - Interactive features are used to improve the run time editing experience of a diagram.
Data Binding - Generates diagram with nodes and connectors based on the information provided from an external data source.
Commands - Supports a set of predefined commands that helps edit the diagram using keyboard. It is also possible to configure new commands and key combinations.
Automatic Layout - Automatic layouts are used to arrange nodes automatically based on a predefined layout logic. There is built-in support for organizational chart layout, hierarchical tree layout, symmetric layout, radial tree layout, and mind map layout.
Overview Panel - The overview panel is used to improve navigation experience when exploring large diagrams.
SymbolPalettes - The symbol palette is a gallery of reusable symbols and nodes that can be dragged and dropped on the surface of a diagram.
Rulers - The ruler provides horizontal and vertical guides for measuring diagram objects in diagram control.
Serialization - When saved in JSON format a diagram’s state persists, and then it can be loaded back using serialization.
Exporting and Printing - Diagrams can be exported as .png, .jpeg, .bmp, and .svg image files, and can also be printed as documents.
Gridlines - Gridlines are the pattern of lines drawn behind diagram elements. It provides a visual guidance while dragging or arranging the objects on a diagram surface.
Page Layout- The drawing surface can be configured to page-like appearance using page size, orientation, and margins.
Context Menu - Frequently used commands can easily be mapped to the context menu.
