Using this package with an AI coding agent

Before generating Syncfusion® code, ask your AI coding agent to run the Syncfusion® setup using the following prompt:

Set up this project for Syncfusion® before generating code. Fetch and follow the official instructions at https://ai.syncfusion.com/agent-setup/prompt.md, then report the detected platform, installed skill pack, MCP status, and any required licensing action.

The setup detects your project's platform and loads the appropriate Syncfusion® skill pack. No Syncfusion® account or MCP key is required to install or read Syncfusion® agent skills.

Common Setup

These setup steps are required only once for your application, regardless of which Syncfusion components you use.

1. Install Base NuGet Package

Install-Package Syncfusion.AspNetMvc.Sankey

2. Add Namespace Reference

Edit Web.config under the Views folder and add the Syncfusion.EJ2 namespace:

<namespaces>
    <add namespace="Syncfusion.EJ2"/>
</namespaces>

3. Add Stylesheet & Script References

In your layout file (~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml), add the following in the <head> section:

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>@ViewBag.Title - Syncfusion Application</title>
    
    <!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC controls styles -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/34.2.6/fluent2.css" />
    
    <!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC controls scripts -->
    <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/34.2.6/dist/ej2.min.js"></script>
</head>

4. Register Script Manager

At the end of the <body> tag in your layout file (~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml):

<body>
    @RenderBody()
    
    <!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC Script Manager -->
    @Html.EJS().ScriptManager()
</body>

Quick Start

Step 1: Add ASP.NET MVC Sankey control

Add the Syncfusion® ASP.NET MVC Sankey control ~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml page:

@Html.EJS().Sankey("sankey-container")
    .Width("90%")
    .Height("420px")
    .Title("Sankey Chart")
    .Tooltip(tooltip => tooltip.Enable(true))
    .LegendSettings(legend => legend.Visible(true))
    .Nodes(ViewBag.SankeyNodes)
    .Links(ViewBag.SankeyLinks)
    .Render()

Step 2: Create controller ~/Controllers/HomeController.cs

public ActionResult Index()
{
    List<SankeyNode> nodes = new List<SankeyNode>
    {
        new SankeyNode { Id = "A" },
        new SankeyNode { Id = "B" },
        new SankeyNode { Id = "C" }
    };

    List<SankeyLink> links = new List<SankeyLink>
    {
        new SankeyLink { SourceId = "A", TargetId = "B", Value = 100 },
        new SankeyLink { SourceId = "B", TargetId = "C", Value = 80 }
    };

    ViewBag.SankeyNodes = nodes;
    ViewBag.SankeyLinks = links;

    return View();
}
