cytoscape-node-editing

Description

A Cytoscape.js extension to provide certain node editing functionality as follows:

  • grapples to resize nodes,
  • a visual cue to resize node to its label, and
  • ability to move selected nodes with arrow keys (accelerator keys Alt and Shift result in slower and faster moves, respectively), distributed under The MIT License.

Please cite the following paper when using this extension:

API

var api = cy.nodeEditing('get') To get the extension instance after initialization.

api.refreshGrapples() Refresh rendered node grapples if any. It is an expensive operation and is supposed to be called in rare cases (When it is really needed).

api.removeGrapples() Remove grapples while node is selected. This is useful when a node is selected but no need to show grapples.

Dependencies

  • Cytoscape.js ^3.2.0
  • jquery ^1.7.0 || ^2.0.0 || ^3.0.0
  • konva ^7.0.3
  • cytoscape-undo-redo ^1.0.10 (optional)

Usage instructions

Download the library:

  • via npm: npm install cytoscape-node-editing,
  • via bower: bower install cytoscape-node-editing, or
  • via direct download in the repository (probably from a tag).

require() the library as appropriate for your project:

CommonJS:

var cytoscape = require('cytoscape');
var nodeEditing = require('cytoscape-node-editing');
var konva = require('konva');

nodeEditing( cytoscape, jQuery, konva ); // register extension

AMD:

require(['cytoscape', 'cytoscape-node-editing', 'jquery', 'konva'], function( cytoscape, nodeEditing, jQuery, konva ){
  nodeEditing( cytoscape, jQuery, konva ); // register extension
});

Plain HTML/JS has the extension registered for you automatically, because no require() is needed.

Emitted Events

cy.on("nodeediting.resizestart", function(e, type, node){ })

cy.on("nodeediting.resizeend", function(e, type, node){ })

cy.on("nodeediting.resizedrag", function(e, type, node){ })

cy.on("nodeediting.resizetocontent", function(e, node){ })

type param can be topleft, topcenter, topright, centerright, bottomright, bottomcenter, bottomleft, centerleft

node param corresponds to currently resizing node.

Build targets

  • npm run build : Build ./src/** into cytoscape-edge-editing.js in production environment and minimize the file.
  • npm run build:dev : Build ./src/** into cytoscape-edge-editing.js in development environment without minimizing the file.

Publishing instructions

This project is set up to automatically be published to npm and bower. To publish:

  1. Build the extension : npm run build
  2. Commit the build : git commit -am "Build for release"
  3. Bump the version number and tag: npm version major|minor|patch
  4. Push to origin: git push && git push --tags
  5. Publish to npm: npm publish .
  6. If publishing to bower for the first time, you'll need to run bower register cytoscape-node-editing https://github.com/iVis-at-Bilkent/cytoscape.js-node-editing.git
