- Drag and Drop
- Shows drag and drop of nodes, groups and labels.
Type Parameters
- K
- The type of element this interface accepts as keys for the mapping.
- V
- The type of element this interface accepts as values for the mapping.

Methods
Gets the value for a given key in the mapping.
Remarks
Setting a value for an already existing key overwrites the previous value.
It depends on the specific implementation of the mapper whether a mapping can be removed. If an implementation provides a way to remove a mapping, that should be preferred over setting a null value. For example, Mapper<K,V> provides the delete method.
Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- key - K
- The key of the mapping.
Returns
- ↪V?
- The value.

Static Methods
Creates an IMapper<K,V> instance from the given mapper-like object by performing automatic type conversion.
Type Parameters
- K
- The type of element this interface accepts as keys for the mapping.
- V
- The type of element this interface accepts as values for the mapping.
Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- mapperLike - IMapper<K,V>
- The object to convert to a IMapper<K,V>
Returns
- ↪IMapper<K,V>
- An IMapper<K,V> instance, initialized with the values found in
mapperLike.
Creates a constant mapper that will always return the constant.
Type Parameters
- K
- The type of the key to use.
- V
- The type of the value to use.
Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- constant - V
- The constant to return in IMapper<K,V>'s indexer.
Returns
- ↪IMapper<K,V>
- A new instance that will always return the same constant.
See Also
Create an implementation of IMapper<K,V> that delegates IMapper<K,V> indexer calls to the provided getter and (optional) setter handlers.
Remarks
Type Parameters
- K
- The type of the key to use.
- V
- The type of the value to use.
Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- getter - function(K):V
- The delegate to delegate IMapper<K,V> indexer getter calls to.
Signature Details
function(key: K) : VA delegate that mimics the get access.Parameters
- key - K
- The key of the mapping.
Returns
- V
- The value or a suitable default that is associated with
key.
- setter - function(K, V):void
- The delegate to delegate IMapper<K,V> indexer setter calls to.
Signature Details
function(key: K, value: V)A delegate that mimics IMapper<K,V>'s indexer write-access.Parameters
- key - K
- The key of the mapping.
- value - V
- The new value of the mapping.
Returns
- ↪IMapper<K,V>
- An implementation that delegates to
getterandsetter.
