A circular, swipeable context menu extension for Cytoscape.js
- Demo with default options: demo
- Demo with adaptative spotlight radius features: demo
- Demo with outsideMenuCancel: demo
This extension creates a widget that lets the user operate circular context menus on nodes in Cytoscape.js. The user swipes along the circular menu to select a menu item and perform a command on either a node, a edge, or the graph background.
* Cytoscape.js ^3.2.0
Download the library:
* via npm: npm install cytoscape-cxtmenu,
* via bower: bower install cytoscape-cxtmenu, or
* via direct download in the repository (probably from a tag).
Import the library as appropriate for your project:
ES import:
``js
import cytoscape from 'cytoscape';
import cxtmenu from 'cytoscape-cxtmenu';
cytoscape.use( cxtmenu );
`
CommonJS require:
`js
let cytoscape = require('cytoscape');
let cxtmenu = require('cytoscape-cxtmenu');
cytoscape.use( cxtmenu ); // register extension
`
AMD:
`js`
require(['cytoscape', 'cytoscape-cxtmenu'], function( cytoscape, cxtmenu ){
cxtmenu( cytoscape ); // register extension
});
Plain HTML/JS has the extension registered for you automatically, because no require() is needed.
You can style the font of the command text with the cxtmenu-content class, and you can style disabled entries with the cxtmenu-disabled class.
You initialise the plugin on the same HTML DOM element container used for Cytoscape.js:
`js
let cy = cytoscape({
container: document.getElementById('cy'),
/ ... /
});
// the default values of each option are outlined below:
let defaults = {
menuRadius: function(ele){ return 100; }, // the outer radius (node center to the end of the menu) in pixels. It is added to the rendered size of the node. Can either be a number or function as in the example.
selector: 'node', // elements matching this Cytoscape.js selector will trigger cxtmenus
commands: [ // an array of commands to list in the menu or a function that returns the array
/*
{ // example command
fillColor: 'rgba(200, 200, 200, 0.75)', // optional: custom background color for item
content: 'a command name', // html/text content to be displayed in the menu
contentStyle: {}, // css key:value pairs to set the command's css in js if you want
select: function(ele){ // a function to execute when the command is selected
console.log( ele.id() ) // ele holds the reference to the active elementcxttapstart
},
enabled: true // whether the command is selectable
}
*/
], // function( ele ){ return [ /.../ ] }, // a function that returns commands or a promise of commands
fillColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75)', // the background colour of the menu
activeFillColor: 'rgba(1, 105, 217, 0.75)', // the colour used to indicate the selected command
activePadding: 20, // additional size in pixels for the active command
indicatorSize: 24, // the size in pixels of the pointer to the active command, will default to the node size if the node size is smaller than the indicator size,
separatorWidth: 3, // the empty spacing in pixels between successive commands
spotlightPadding: 4, // extra spacing in pixels between the element and the spotlight
adaptativeNodeSpotlightRadius: false, // specify whether the spotlight radius should adapt to the node size
minSpotlightRadius: 24, // the minimum radius in pixels of the spotlight (ignored for the node if adaptativeNodeSpotlightRadius is enabled but still used for the edge & background)
maxSpotlightRadius: 38, // the maximum radius in pixels of the spotlight (ignored for the node if adaptativeNodeSpotlightRadius is enabled but still used for the edge & background)
openMenuEvents: 'cxttapstart taphold', // space-separated cytoscape events that will open the menu; only and/or taphold work here
itemColor: 'white', // the colour of text in the command's content
itemTextShadowColor: 'transparent', // the text shadow colour of the command's content
zIndex: 9999, // the z-index of the ui div
atMouse: false, // draw menu at mouse position
outsideMenuCancel: false // if set to a number, this will cancel the command if the pointer is released outside of the spotlight, padded by the number given
};
let menu = cy.cxtmenu( defaults );
`
You get access to the cxtmenu API as the returned value of calling the extension. You can use this to clean up and destroy the menu instance:
`js
let menu = cy.cxtmenu( someOptions );
menu.destroy();

* npm run test : Run Mocha tests in ./test
: Build ./src/* into cytoscape-cxtmenu.js
* : Automatically build on changes with live reloading (N.b. you must already have an HTTP server running)npm run dev
* : Automatically build on changes with live reloading with webpack dev servernpm run lint
* : Run eslint on the source
N.b. all builds use babel, so modern ES features can be used in the src.
