Not integer id.

Are non integer ids (UUID) supported?

In below sample topologyData1 and topologyData2 works but topologyData3 is failing.

var topologyData1 = {

nodes: [

{"id": 0, "x": 410, "y": 100, "name": "12K-1"},

{"id": 1, "x": 410, "y": 280, "name": "12K-2"}

links: [

{"source": 0, "target": 1},

]

};

var topologyData2 = {

nodes: [

{"id": "0", "x": 410, "y": 100, "name": "12K-1"},

{"id": "1", "x": 410, "y": 280, "name": "12K-2"}

links: [

{"source": "0", "target": "1"},

]

};

var topologyData3 = {

nodes: [

{"id": "0", "x": 410, "y": 100, "name": "12K-1"},

{"id": "1a", "x": 410, "y": 280, "name": "12K-2"}

links: [

{"source": "0", "target": "1a"},

]

};

nx.graphic.Topology defaults to using the index instead of the id for identifying link source and destinations, you have to set:

identityKey: 'id',

to make it use the ids which then also works with strings.

Thanks Alexendar.

For future refernce. This works

var topo = new nx.graphic.Topology({

...

identityKey: 'id',

.........

});
