Saving network manipulation

[sbihorel]

Hi,

I am starting to look into visNetwork in order to assess whether this could be the right tool for my current target.

My goal is to embed a graphical representation of a network into an existing (non shiny-based) website. This website pulls information from a large database and allows users to visualize / analyze data in various ways. Based upon the selections made by the users in various UI elements, the website could send the appropriate nodes and edges data to visNetwork (I am thinking about using plumber to make the link). For this part, the capability of visNetwork appears to fit the bill perfectly. However, since visNetwork allows users to edit the network, it would be awesome if there was a way for the visNetwork "widget" to send back to the web server information about the modified network.

Does visNetwork provide such mechanism? Is visEvent what I need to look into? Are there examples out there you could reference?

Any feedback would be greater appreciated.

Hi! Any update on this issue?

I'm in a similar situation. It seems like there is a workaround to save a network manipulation. See this stackoverflow post. Did you end up using this, or a different tool?
