DevExtreme - New Sankey Diagram (v18.2)

Please listen up, all you data analysts: DevExtreme now supports a Sankey diagram. This diagram displays relationships between nodes, which are technically called links. From the perspective of the data, this is often about flow, for instance of goods or services – but any type of relation between groups of subjects can be visualized by a Sankey diagram.

As usual, the new functionality is available on all platforms supported by DevExtreme, including Angular, Vue, React, jQuery and ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Core.

The diagram above can be rendered using the following code. You can see how the weight values are automatically rendered as links of differing widths.

$(function() {
  $('#sankey').dxSankey({
    dataSource: [
      { source: 'Brazil', target: 'Portugal', weight: 5 },
      { source: 'Brazil', target: 'France', weight: 1 },
      { source: 'Brazil', target: 'England', weight: 1 },
      { source: 'Canada', target: 'Portugal', weight: 1 },
      { source: 'Canada', target: 'France', weight: 5 },
      { source: 'Canada', target: 'England', weight: 1 }
    ],
    link: {
      colorMode: 'gradient'
    }
  });
});

A demo for the Sankey diagram is available, which you can modify and play with yourself. We also have Overview and API documentation available.
