Hierarchy

Class for saving / loading GoJS Models to / from Dropbox. As with all GoCloudStorage subclasses (with the exception of GoLocalStorage, any page using GoDropBox must be served on a web server.

Note: Any page using GoDropBox must include a script tag with a reference to the Dropbox JS SDK.

Constructors

  • new GoDropBox(managedDiagrams: Diagram | Diagram[], clientId: string, defaultModel?: string, iconsRelativeDirectory?: string): GoDropBox
  • Parameters

    • managedDiagrams: Diagram | Diagram[]

      An array of GoJS Diagrams whose model(s) will be saved to / loaded from Dropbox. Can also be a single Diagram.

    • clientId: string

      The client ID of the application in use (given in Dropbox Developer's Console)

    • Optional defaultModel: string

Properties

  • Get / set currently open Dropnpx path in custom filepicker ui. Default value is the empty string, which corresponds to the currently signed in user's Drobox account's root path.
