Network: detect click on edge's label?

[rwu823]

Currently I can detect click on whole edge if prop.edges.length === 1 && !prop.nodes.length, but is it possible detect clicked on edge's label?

Hi,

No, we do not take the label into account when checking for clicks.
We could put this up as a feature request?

Hi,

I've added this to the feature requests:
http://visjs.org/featureRequests.html

We cannot say when this feature will be implemented at this time. We try to collect all feature requests on our website and close the issues. This does not mean we will ignore this request. More information on this policy can be found here:

Regards,

Alex

Reopening as Feature-Request issue (see #2114).
Everybody: Please feel free to implement this!

Keeping this open, there appears to be more interest for this (e.g. #3261).

Could this be broadened to include a click event on node labels as well (where node labels are outside of the nodes), or should I log a separate feature request? I would like to be able to make the behavior of a node click also happen when someone clicks the node label under it. Thanks!

@karenhansen I'm looking at it right now and yes, I'll take any label into account, irrespective of their positioning to the parent node/edge. This falls under the current issue, so don't bother with a new one.

I'm actually taking it a bit further than that, because in the future, due to known pending requests, I expect there to be:

• Multiple labels per node/edge
• z-ordering for nodes/edges
• option for returning all clicked on items instead of just the topmost.

It's not that these will be implemented right away, but I'd like the label click event to be ready for them.

Got it working. Need to do documentation as well before submitting. And clean up of course.
