cytoscape-qtip
Description
A Cytoscape.js extension that wraps the qTip jQuery library
It is recommended that, where possible, you use cytoscape-popper
with tippy.js
instead of cytoscape-qtip
.
- The
qtip2
library that this extension wraps is no longer maintained by its author. qtip2
does not have proper support for npm+webpack and npm+browserify, whereascytoscape-popper
does -- as dopopper.js
andtippy.js
.cytoscape-popper
does not requirejquery
.qtip2
requires the use ofjquery@1
orjquery@2
, which are both no longer maintained.
Dependencies
- jQuery ^3.0 || ^2.0 || ^1.10.0, as qTip requires it
- qTip ^3.0 || ^2.2.0
- Cytoscape.js ^2.2.0 || ^3.0.0
Usage instructions
Download the library:
- via npm:
npm install cytoscape-qtip
, - via bower:
bower install cytoscape-qtip
, 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 cyqtip = require('cytoscape-qtip');
cyqtip( cytoscape ); // register extension
AMD:
require(['cytoscape', 'cytoscape-qtip', 'jquery'], function( cytoscape, cyqtip, jquery ){
cyqtip( cytoscape, jquery ); // register extension
});
Note that jquery
must point to a jQuery object with .qtip()
registered if AMD is used.
Plain HTML/JS has the extension registered for you automatically, because no require()
is needed.
API
This extension wraps the qTip API so it can be used on Cytoscape.js graph elements instead of HTML DOM elements.
You can call qTip on graph elements:
eles.qtip({ /* options ... */ });
You can call qTip on the core:
cy.qtip({ /* options ... */ });
See the qTip API for details on configuration.
If you want to access the qTip API for an element:
var api = ele.qtip('api');
If you want to access the qTip API for the core:
var api = cy.qtip('api');
See the qTip docs for details on the API. If you create more than one qTip on an element and use its API, you'll have to cache the api
references after creating each qTip.
API restrictions
You may not use options.position.target
. If you require a different value, like 'body'
or 'mouse'
, you don't need this extenstion -- you can simply use the qTip APIs directly on a DOM element.
API additions
These are additional options you can use for convenience. Remember: This extension is just a wrapper to qTip. If you require more complex behaviour, you should manually use the qTip API.
options.position.adjust.cyViewport
: Whentrue
, updates element qTip position on zoom and pan. Note you'll need your own mechanism to hide out-of-bounds qTips, such as customising the parent container.options.show.cyBgOnly
: Whentrue
, shows core qTips only for events originated on the core (not bubbled). Useful for "background" events.options.hide.cyBgOnly
: Whentrue
, hides core qTips only for events originated on the core (not bubbled). Useful for "background" events.options.hide.cyViewport
: Whentrue
, hides qTips when the viewport is manipulated (i.e. zoom/pan).
