Phase in Blazor Diagram Component
15 Mar 202419 minutes to read
The Phase is the subprocess which will split each lane as horizontally or vertically based on the swimlane orientation. The multiple phases can be added to the swimlane.
Create an empty Phase
You can create the Phase and add into the Phases collection of the Swimlane.
Note: For Horizontal Swimlane, you must set the Width of the Phase. For Vertical Swimlane, you must set the Height of the Phase.
The following code example explains how to add a phase at the swimlane.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Diagram
<SfDiagramComponent Height="600px" Swimlanes="@SwimlaneCollections" />
@code
{
//Define diagram's swimlane collection.
DiagramObjectCollection<Swimlane> SwimlaneCollections = new DiagramObjectCollection<Swimlane>();
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
// A swimlane is created and stored in the swimlanes collection.
Swimlane swimlane = new Swimlane()
{
Header = new SwimlaneHeader()
{
Annotation = new ShapeAnnotation()
{
Content = "SALES PROCESS FLOW CHART"
},
Height = 50,
},
OffsetX = 400,
OffsetY = 200,
Height = 150,
Width = 450,
Phases = new DiagramObjectCollection<Phase>()
{
new Phase()
{
Width = 450,
Header = new SwimlaneHeader()
{
Annotation = new ShapeAnnotation(){Content = "Phase 1"},
Height = 30
}
}
}
};
// Add swimlane.
SwimlaneCollections.Add(swimlane);
}
}
.

Dynamically add phase to Swimlane
You can add a phase at runtime by using the Add and Remove methods of the Swimlane.Phases collection. The following code example explains how to add and remove phases at run time.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Diagram
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons
<SfButton Content="Add Phase" OnClick="@AddPhase" />
<SfButton Content="Remove Phase" OnClick="@RemovePhase" />
<SfDiagramComponent Height="600px" Swimlanes="@SwimlaneCollections" />
@code
{
//Define diagram's swimlane collection.
DiagramObjectCollection<Swimlane> SwimlaneCollections = new DiagramObjectCollection<Swimlane>();
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
// A swimlane is created and stored in the swimlanes collection.
Swimlane swimlane = new Swimlane()
{
Header = new SwimlaneHeader()
{
Annotation = new ShapeAnnotation()
{
Content = "SALES PROCESS FLOW CHART"
},
Height = 50,
},
OffsetX = 400,
OffsetY = 200,
Height = 150,
Width = 450,
Phases = new DiagramObjectCollection<Phase>()
{
new Phase()
{
Width = 450,
Header = new SwimlaneHeader()
{
Annotation = new ShapeAnnotation(){Content = "Phase 1"},
Height = 30
}
}
}
};
// Add swimlane.
SwimlaneCollections.Add(swimlane);
}
private void AddPhase()
{
Swimlane swimlane = SwimlaneCollections[0];
Phase newPhase = new Phase()
{
Width = 100,
Header = new SwimlaneHeader()
{
Annotation = new ShapeAnnotation() { Content = "Phase " + (swimlane.Phases.Count + 1) },
Height = 30
}
};
swimlane.Phases.Add(newPhase);
}
private void RemovePhase()
{
Swimlane swimlane = SwimlaneCollections[0];
if (swimlane.Phases.Count > 1)
swimlane.Phases.RemoveAt(swimlane.Phases.Count - 1);
}
}

Create the Phase Header and Header customization
- The Header property of Phase allows you to describe the phase textually and customize the appearance of the description.
- The size of the Phase header can be controlled by using the header’s Width and Height properties.
- The appearance of the Phase header can be customized by using the Style property.
The following code example explains how to define a Phase header and its customization.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Diagram
<SfDiagramComponent Height="600px" Swimlanes="@SwimlaneCollections" />
@code
{
//Define diagram's swimlane collection.
DiagramObjectCollection<Swimlane> SwimlaneCollections = new DiagramObjectCollection<Swimlane>();
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
// A swimlane is created and stored in the swimlanes collection.
Swimlane swimlane = new Swimlane()
{
Header = new SwimlaneHeader()
{
Annotation = new ShapeAnnotation()
{
Content = "SALES PROCESS FLOW CHART"
},
Height = 50,
},
OffsetX = 400,
OffsetY = 200,
Height = 150,
Width = 450,
Phases = new DiagramObjectCollection<Phase>()
{
new Phase()
{
Width = 450,
Header = new SwimlaneHeader()
{
Annotation = new ShapeAnnotation(){Content = "Phase 1", Style = new TextStyle(){ Color = "White", TextDecoration = TextDecoration.Underline, Italic = true, Bold = true} },
Height = 30
},
Style = new TextStyle(){Fill = "Teal"},
}
}
};
// Add swimlane.
SwimlaneCollections.Add(swimlane);
}
}
.

The Phase header annotations also support templates. You can define HTML content at the tag level and specify the use of a template with the UseTemplate property. If you want to define a separate template for each phase, differentiate the annotation by using the ID property.
The following code example explains how to define a Phase header annotation template.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Diagram
<SfDiagramComponent Height="600px" Swimlanes="@SwimlaneCollections">
<DiagramTemplates>
<AnnotationTemplate>
@if (context is Annotation annotation)
{
if (annotation.ID == "Phase 1")
{
string ID = annotation.ID + "TemplateContent";
<div id="@ID" class="profile-card" style="width:100%;height:100%;display:flex;align-items:center; gap:10px">

Header Selection and Resize
-
You can select the individual phase header by clicking on the header twice. On the first click, you can select the respective phase.
-
You can resize the individual phase header. While resizing the phase, it will maintain 20px distances from Lane children.
-
When a element is resized, the SizeChanging and SizeChanged events get triggered.
The following image shows how to select and resize the phase header.
.
Phase header editing
The diagram provides support for editing phase headers at runtime. You can achieve header editing by using the double-click event. Double-clicking the header label enables the editing of that specific header.
The following image shows how to edit the phase header.
Phase interaction
Select
Phase can be selected by clicking (tapping) the header of the phase.
Resizing
- The phase can be resized by using its selector.
- You must click the phase header to enable the phase selection.
- Once the phase can be resized, the lane size will be updated automatically.
