[![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/16010906.svg)](https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/16010906)

![Preview](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cytoscape/cytoscape.js-cxtmenu/master/preview.png)

## Description

A circular, swipeable context menu extension for Cytoscape.js 
- Demo with default options: [demo](https://cytoscape.github.io/cytoscape.js-cxtmenu)
- Demo with adaptative spotlight radius features: [demo](https://cytoscape.github.io/cytoscape.js-cxtmenu/demo-adaptative.html) 
- Demo with `outsideMenuCancel`: [demo](https://cytoscape.github.io/cytoscape.js-cxtmenu/demo-cancel-outside.html)

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.

## Dependencies

* Cytoscape.js ^3.2.0

## Usage instructions

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.

## CSS

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.

## API

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 element
      },
      hover: function(ele){ // a function to execute when the command is hovered
        console.log( ele.id() ) // `ele` holds the reference to the active element
      },
      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 `cxttapstart` 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();
```

## Build targets

* `npm run test` : Run Mocha tests in `./test`
* `npm run build` : Build `./src/**` into `cytoscape-cxtmenu.js`
* `npm run watch` : 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 server
* `npm run lint` : Run eslint on the source

N.b. all builds use babel, so modern ES features can be used in the `src`.

## Publishing instructions

This project is set up to automatically be published to npm and bower.  To publish:

1. Build the extension : `npm run build:release`
1. Commit the build : `git commit -am "Build for release"`
1. Bump the version number and tag: `npm version major|minor|patch`
1. Push to origin: `git push && git push --tags`
1. Publish to npm: `npm publish .`
1. If publishing to bower for the first time, you'll need to run `bower register cytoscape-cxtmenu https://github.com/cytoscape/cytoscape.js-cxtmenu.git`
1. [Make a new release](https://github.com/cytoscape/cytoscape.js-cxtmenu/releases/new) for Zenodo.
