Extension for Cytoscape.js, which adds handles to nodes and allows to create different types of edges

Dependencies

Extension was tested with these versions of libraries:

• jQuery 2.1.1
• Cytoscape.js 2.6.0

Install

Use git clone or direct zip download and unpack archive into your project. Then, simply insert <script> tag after Cytoscape.js and jQuery:

<script src="CytoscapeEdgeEditation.js"></script>

How to use

First, you need to initialize extension. After initializing Cytoscape.js:

var cy = cytoscape({...});
var handles = new CytoscapeEdgeEditation;
handles.init(cy);

Then, you need to register handles to certain node types:

handles.registerHandle({
    positionX: "left",          //horizontal position of the handle  (left | center | right)
    positionY: "center",        //vertical position of the handle  (top | center | bottom)
    color: "#48FF00",           //color of the handle 
    type: "some_type",          //stored as data() attribute, can be used for styling            
    single: true,               //wheter only one edge of this type can start from same node (default false) 
    nodeTypeNames: ["type2"]    //which types of nodes will contain this handle
    noMultigraph: false         //whereter two nodes can't be connected with multiple edges (does not consider orientation) 
});

handles.registerHandle({...});
handles.registerHandle({...});

Type of node is stored in data section:

cy.add({
    data: { id: 'n4', type: "type2"},
});
