We are in the process of developing a new unified framework for complexity management of graphs. Thus this repositoy is no longer being maintained
This extension provides an interface to expand/collapse nodes and edges for better management of complexity of Cytoscape.js compound graphs, distributed under The MIT License.

- Note that compounds are nodes.
cy.expandCollapse(options)
To initialize the extension with given options.
var api = cy.expandCollapse('get')
To get the extension instance after initialization.
- Following functions get options parameter to apply during a particular event unlike the function above.
api.collapse(nodes, options)
Collapse given nodes, extend options with given param.
api.collapseRecursively(nodes, options)
Collapse given nodes recursively, extend options with given param.
api.collapseAll(options)
Collapse all nodes on graph (recursively), extend options with given param.
api.expand(nodes, options)
Expand given nodes, extend options with given param.
api.expandRecursively(nodes, options)
Expand given nodes recursively, extend options with given param.
api.expandAll(options)
Expand all nodes on graph (recursively), extend options with given param.
api.isExpandable(node)
Get whether node is expandable (or is collapsed)
api.isCollapsible(node)
Get whether node is collapsible.
api.expandableNodes(nodes)
Get expandable ones inside given nodes if nodes parameter is not specified consider all nodes
api.collapsibleNodes(nodes)
Get collapsible ones inside given nodes if nodes parameter is not specified consider all nodes
api.setOptions(options)
Resets the options to the given parameter.
api.setOption(name, value)
Sets the value of the option given by the name to the given value.
api.extendOptions(options)
Extend the current options with the given options.
api.getCollapsedChildren(node)
Get the children of the given collapsed node which are removed during collapse operation
api.getCollapsedChildrenRecursively(node)
Get collapsed children recursively including nested collapsed children. Returned value includes edges and nodes, use selector to get edges or nodes.
api.getAllCollapsedChildrenRecursively()
Get collapsed children of all collapsed nodes recursively. Returned value includes edges and nodes, use selector to get edges or nodes.
api.clearVisualCue()
Forces the visual cue to be cleared. It is to be called in extreme cases.
api.enableCue()
Enable rendering of visual cue.
api.disableCue()
Disable rendering of visual cue.
api.getParent(nodeId)
Get the parent of a node given its node id. Useful to reach parent of a node removed because of collapse operation.
api.collapseEdges(edges,options)
Collapse the given edges if all the given edges are between same two nodes and number of edges passed is at least 2. Does nothing otherwise.
api.expandEdges(edges){
Expand the given collapsed edges
api.collapseEdgesBetweenNodes(nodes, options)
Collapse all edges between the set of given nodes.
api.expandEdgesBetweenNodes(nodes)
Expand all collapsed edges between the set of given nodes
api.collapseAllEdges(options)
Collapse all edges in the graph.
api.expandAllEdges()
Expand all edges in the graph.
api.loadJson(jsonStr)
Load elements from JSON string.
api.saveJson(elems, filename)
Saves elements in JSON format to a file. Default value for elems
is all the elements. Default value for filename
is 'expand-collapse-output.json'
Notice that following events are performed for each node that is collapsed/expanded. Also, notice that any post-processing layout is performed after the event.
cy.nodes().on("expandcollapse.beforecollapse", function(event) { var node = this; ... })
Triggered before a node is collapsed
cy.nodes().on("expandcollapse.aftercollapse", function(event) { var node = this; ... })
Triggered after a node is collapsed
cy.nodes().on("expandcollapse.beforeexpand", function(event) { var node = this; ... })
Triggered before a node is expanded
cy.nodes().on("expandcollapse.afterexpand", function(event) { var node = this; ... })
Triggered after a node is expanded
cy.edges().on("expandcollapse.beforecollapseedge", function(event) { var edge = this; ... })
Triggered before an edge is collapsed
cy.edges().on("expandcollapse.aftercollapseedge", function(event) { var edge = this; ... })
Triggered after an edge is collapsed
cy.edges().on("expandcollapse.beforeexpandedge", function(event) { var edge = this; ... })
Triggered before an edge is expanded
cy.edges().on("expandcollapse.afterexpandedge", function(event) { var edge = this; ... })
Triggered after an edge is expanded
All these events can also be listened as cytoscape.js core events e.g.
cy.on("expandcollapse.afterexpandedge", function(event) { var elem = event.target; ... })

- Collapsed nodes have 'cy-expand-collapse-collapsed-node' class.
- Meta edges (edges from/to collapsed nodes) have 'cy-expand-collapse-meta-edge' class.
- Collapsed edges have 'cy-expand-collapse-collapsed-edge' class.
- Collapsed edges data have 'directionType' field which can be either:
- 'unidirection' if all the edges that are collapsed into this edge have the same direction (all have same source and same target) or
- 'bidirection' if the edges that are collapsed into this edge have different direction (different target and/or source)
- Collapsed edges data have a field that holds the type, the field name is as defined in options but if it is not defined in options or was defined as a function it will be named 'edgeType'

Download the library:
- via npm:
npm install cytoscape-expand-collapse
, - via bower:
bower install cytoscape-expand-collapse
, 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 expandCollapse = require('cytoscape-expand-collapse');
expandCollapse( cytoscape ); // register extension
AMD:
require(['cytoscape', 'cytoscape-expand-collapse'], function( cytoscape, expandCollapse ){
expandCollapse( cytoscape ); // register extension
});
Plain HTML/JS has the extension registered for you automatically, because no require()
is needed.
This project is set up to automatically be published to npm and bower. To publish:
- Set the version number environment variable:
export VERSION=1.2.3
- Publish:
gulp publish
- If publishing to bower for the first time, you'll need to run
bower register cytoscape-expand-collapse https://github.com/iVis-at-Bilkent/cytoscape.js-expand-collapse.git
