Store extra values on Diagram nodes

[David van Laar Veth]

I'm trying to keep the corresponding database ID for each node in the object. The only way I've found to do this is to keep the ID in the cssClass:

    diagram.updateLabel(element.name, element.labels[0], { text: activityDescription, cssClass: activityID });

And to access it later:

    var id = element.labels[0].cssClass;

This works, but I would rather avoid any potential unwanted behaviour or confusion.

I have tried using { id: activityID } but it is undefined when I try element.labels[0].id;

Is there any property I can use apart from cssClass for this purpose?

Thanks

Hi David, 

Please use node’s addInfo property to define a custom property. please refer to the code example and  help documentation below. 

Code example: 

BasicShape node = new BasicShape(); 

   //create addInfo property for node 

 Dictionary<string, object> addInfo = new Dictionary<string, object>(); 

 addInfo.Add("Id", "123"); 

 node.AddInfo = addInfo;
