When to use getNode vs findNode

[Jim Jacobs]

Hi,

Our application currently uses both getNode and findNode api calls.

I notice that your api reference (https://help.syncfusion.com/api/js/ejdiagram) only includes findNode.

Should I replace all instances of getNode with findNode or is there any conditions under which getNode is required?

Please advise.

Thanks

Jim

Hi Jim 

 

The findNode method is used to return the node/connector object. While defining and rendering the swimlane, the swimlane object converted to group node. So findNode method will return the group Node structure while finding the swimlane. The getNode method which returns the original swimlane structure while finding the swimlane.

Hi Aravind,

Thanks for the prompt reply.  Yes, it appears that I am using getNode for swimlanes.

I have another question for you.

Where can I find these functions (such as getNode, getObjectType) documented?

As I mentioned in my initial post, this is not documented in your api reference.

Thanks for pointing me to where I can find this information.

Thanks

Jim

Hi Jim, 

 

We have planned to add API documentation for the getNode and getObjectType API methods. These changes will be reflected in our help documentation link on  February 1^st 2019.
