In-place node editing

Pivotick ships an editing layer, not just a viewer. Double-click a node to open its edit modal; onBeforeNodeEditCommit is your validation / veto hook (return false to reject a bad edit and keep the modal open), and onNodeEditCancel fires when the user backs out.

Double-click Alice and change a field. Clear the name and try to save — the commit is refused. The toolbar's Edit Graph → Edit opens the same modal.

Options

// Editing needs the full UI mode — the default 'viewer' is read-only. Double-click
// opens the built-in edit modal; the two commit hooks below validate and observe it.
const options = {
    UI: { mode: 'full' },
    callbacks: {
        // Open the edit modal on double-click (the toolbar's Edit Graph → Edit does
        // the same). onNodeEdit(session) also lets you return a fully custom body.
        onNodeDbclick: (event, node) => graph.editing.openNodeSession(node),
        // Validation / veto hook — return false to reject the commit and keep the
        // modal open. Here we refuse an empty name.
        onBeforeNodeEditCommit: ({ previousData, nextData }) => {
            if (!nextData.label || !String(nextData.label).trim()) {
                graph.notifier.warning('Name required', 'A node must keep a name.')
                return false
            }
            graph.notifier.success('Node updated', `${previousData.label} → ${nextData.label}`)
            return true
        },
        // Fires when the user cancels the edit.
        onNodeEditCancel: (node) => graph.notifier.info('Edit cancelled', node.getData().label)
    }
}
