Features

• optimized for high performance with high number of nodes, for smooth panning and zooming.
• customizable labels with different templates.

Dependencies

• Cytoscape.js ^3.0.0

Usage instructions

Download the library:

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

Plain HTML/JS has extension registered for you automatically:

<script src="http://cytoscape.github.io/cytoscape.js/api/cytoscape.js-latest/cytoscape.min.js"></script>
<script src="cytoscape-node-html-label.js"></script>

RequireJs approach:

require() the library as appropriate for your project:

CommonJS:

var cytoscape = require('cytoscape');
var nodeHtmlLabel = require('cytoscape-node-html-label');
nodeHtmlLabel( cytoscape ); // register extension

AMD:

require(['cytoscape', 'cytoscape-node-html-label'], function( cytoscape, nodeHtmlLabel ){
  nodeHtmlLabel( cytoscape ); // register extension
});

API

nodeHtmlLabel parameter is an array of options:

cyInstance.nodeHtmlLabel([
  {
    query: 'node', // cytoscape query selector
    halign: 'center', // title vertical position. Can be 'left',''center, 'right'
    valign: 'center', // title vertical position. Can be 'top',''center, 'bottom'
    halignBox: 'center', // title vertical position. Can be 'left',''center, 'right'
    valignBox: 'center', // title relative box vertical position. Can be 'top',''center, 'bottom'
    cssClass: '', // any classes will be as attribute of <div> container for every title
    tpl(data) {
      return '<span>' + data + '</span>'; // your html template here
    }
  }
]);

To make links clickable inside your labels, you need to pass enablePointerEvents: true as the 3rd argument to nodeHtmlLabel:

cyInstance.nodeHtmlLabel([
  {
    ...
  }
], {
  enablePointerEvents: true
});

Usage example

Code example:

// create Cy instance
var cyInstance = cytoscape({
    container: document.getElementById('cy'),
    layout: {
        name: 'random'
    },
    elements: [ // your cy elements
        { group: "nodes", data: { id: 'a1', name: 'a10' }, classes: 'l1' },
        { group: "nodes", data: { id: 'a1', name: 'a10' }, classes: 'l1' },
        { group: "nodes", data: { id: 'a1', name: 'a10' }, classes: 'l1' },
        { group: "nodes", data: { id: 'a5', name: 'a5' }, classes: 'l2' }
    ]
});

// set nodeHtmlLabel for your Cy instance
cyInstance.nodeHtmlLabel([{
        query: '.l1',
        valign: "top",
        halign: "left",
        valignBox: "top",
        halignBox: "left",
        tpl: function(data) {
            return '<p class="cy-title__p1">' + data.id + '</p>' + '<p  class="cy-title__p2">' + data.name + '</p>';
        }
    },
    {
        query: '.l2',
        tpl: function(data) {
            return '<p class="cy-title__p1">' + data.id + '</p>' + '<p  class="cy-title__p2">' + data.name + '</p>';
        }
    }
]);
