forceUpdate

Force update an element.

Key Property

forceUpdate( typeOrAttrName?: IForceUpdateType )

Forces an asynchronous update of the element. The default is 'bounds', which updates both the element's layout and rendering. You can specify another update type or an element attribute name (attrName) to improve update performance.

When using a predefined update type (such as 'bounds', 'stroke', or 'surface') instead of an attribute name, no attribute change events will be triggered.

export type IForceUpdateType =
  | 'bounds' // Force rendering and update the box bounds
  | 'stroke' // Force rendering and update the stroke bounds
  | 'surface' // Force rendering only
  | (string & {}) // Element attribute name

updateLayout ( )

Request a layout update. If the layout has not changed, the update will be ignored.
