Properties

Optional anchor

anchor?: AnchorSpec

Spec for the anchor to use for both source and target for edges of this type.

Optional anchors

anchors?: [AnchorSpec, AnchorSpec]

[source, target] anchor specs edges of this type.

Optional connector

connector?: ConnectorSpec

Name/definition of the connector to use. If you omit this, the default connector will be used.

Optional cssClass

cssClass?: string

CSS class to add to edges of the type in the UI

Optional detachable

detachable?: boolean

Whether or not edges of this type should be detachable with the mouse. Defaults to true.

Optional endpoint

endpoint?: EndpointSpec

Optional spec to use for both the source and target endpoints for edges of this type.

Optional endpointHoverStyle

endpointHoverStyle?: EndpointStyle

Optional paint style to use for hover on both the source and target endpoints for edges of this type.

Optional endpointHoverStyles

endpointHoverStyles?: [EndpointStyle, EndpointStyle]

Optional paint style to use for hove on the [source, target] endpoints for edges of this type.

Optional endpointStyle

endpointStyle?: EndpointStyle

Optional paint style to use for both the source and target endpoints for edges of this type.

Optional endpointStyles

endpointStyles?: [EndpointStyle, EndpointStyle]

Optional paint styles to use for the [source, target] endpoints for edges of this type.

Optional endpoints

endpoints?: [EndpointSpec, EndpointSpec]

Optional specs for the [source, target] endpoints for edges of this type.

Optional events

events?: ViewEventOptions

Optional map of event bindings.

Optional hoverPaintStyle

hoverPaintStyle?: PaintStyle

Paint style to use for the edge when the pointer is hovering over it.

Optional label

label?: string

Optional label to use for the edge. If this is set, a label overlay will be created and the value of label will be used as the overlay's label. This value can be parameterised, in order to extract a value from the edge's backing data, eg. if you set label:"{{name}}" then the Toolkit would attempt to extract a property with key name from the edge's backing data, and use that property's value as the label.

Optional labelClass

labelClass?: string

Optional css class to set on the label overlay created if label is set. This is a static string and does not support parameterisation like label does.

Optional labelLocation

labelLocation?: number

Optional location for the label. If not provided this defaults to 0.5, but the label location can be controlled via the labelLocationAttribute.

Optional labelLocationAttribute

labelLocationAttribute?: string

This defaults to labelLocation, and indicates the name of a property whose value can be expected to hold the location at which the label overlay should be located. The default value for this is labelLocation, but the key here is that the Toolkit looks in the edge data for labelLocation, so the location is dynamic, and can be changed by updating labelLocation. This parameter allows you to change the name of the property that the Toolkit will look for in the edge data.

Optional mergeStrategy

mergeStrategy?: string

When merging a type description into its parent(s), values in the child for connector, anchor and anchors will always overwrite any such values in the parent. But other values, such as overlays, will be merged with their parent's entry for that key. You can force a child's type to override every corresponding value in its parent by setting mergeStrategy:'override'.

Optional outlineWidth

outlineWidth?: number

Optional width of the edge's outline. Defaults to 0.

Optional overlays

overlays?: OverlaySpec[]

Array of overlays to add to edges of this type.

Optional paintStyle

paintStyle?: PaintStyle

Paint style to use for the edge.

Optional parent

parent?: string | string[]

Optional ID of one or more edge definitions to include in this definition. The child definition is merged on top of the parent definition(s). Circular references are not allowed and will throw an error.

Optional reattach

reattach?: boolean

Whether or not when a user detaches a edge of this type it should be automatically reattached. Defaults to false.
