this is my first question asked on stackoverflow!
I'm quite new on Vue.js and I am currently trying to display and interact with a node network graph using the v-network-graph component. I am struggling with using the EventHandler, because I didn't really got how to create it and interact with it. Should I initiate it within another instance and import it directly inside this one? Could you please help me understand how to manage the event handler ?
I tried the following code, expecting it to print in the console the node's id I clicked on:
<script lang="ts">
import { reactive, ref } from 'vue';
import * as vNG from 'v-network-graph';
import {
ForceLayout,
ForceNodeDatum,
ForceEdgeDatum,
} from 'v-network-graph/lib/force-layout';
const graph = ref<vNG.Instance>();
export default {
data() {
return {
nodes: { '': { name: '' } },
edges: { '': { source: '', target: '' } },
layouts: {
nodes: {
node0: {
x: 0,
y: 0,
fixed: true,
},
},
},
configs: reactive(
vNG.defineConfigs({
node: {
selectable: true,
label: {
direction: 'center',
color: '#eeeeee',
},
normal: {
radius: 48,
},
},
view: {
autoPanAndZoomOnLoad: 'fit-content',
minZoomLevel: 1,
maxZoomLevel: 2,
layoutHandler: new ForceLayout({
positionFixedByDrag: false,
positionFixedByClickWithAltKey: true,
}),
},
}),
),
};
},
methods: {
async getNodes() {
await fetch('http://127.0.0.1:5000/getNodes')
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => { this.nodes = (data); });
},
async getEdges() {
await fetch('http://127.0.0.1:5000/getEdges')
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => { this.edges = (data); });
},
},
beforeMount() {
this.getNodes();
this.getEdges();
const eventHandlers: vNG.EventHandlers = {
'node:click': ({ node }) => {
window.console.log(this.nodes[node]);
},
};
},
mounted() {
this.$refs.graph.fitToContents();
},
};
</script>
<template>
<v-network-graph
:nodes="nodes"
:edges="edges"
:configs="configs"
:layouts="layouts"
:event-handlers="eventHandlers"
ref="graph"
class="visualization"
/>
</template>
<style>
.visualization {
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
</style>
I've understood how to make it thanks to this post. Basically the documentation I was learning with is using Script Setup while I'm using the OptionAPI!
The actual answer:
The trick here is to not use the vNG.EventHandlers
and to set the event handling Object directly in the data component, and the v-bind
directive in the graph element.
The code (please note that I intentionally removed the useless code that was in the previous post to make a clearer answer):
<script lang="ts">
import { reactive, ref } from 'vue';
import * as vNG from 'v-network-graph';
const graph = ref<vNG.Instance>();
export default {
data() {
return {
nodes: reactive({ '': { name: '' } }),
edges: { '': { source: '', target: '' } },
click_event: {
'node:click': ({ node }) => {
window.console.log(this.nodes[node]);
},
},
},
},
};
</script>
<template>
<v-network-graph
:nodes="nodes"
:edges="edges"
:event-handlers="click_event"
ref="graph"
class="visualization"
/>
</template>
