ChiSE

ChiSE is a library with an API based on SBGNViz.js, which in turn is based on Cytoscape.js, to visualize and edit pathway models.

It accepts the pathway models represented in enriched SBGN-ML format, and can save edited pathways back to the same format, including layout, style, and annotation information, as well as static image formats (PNG, JPEG, and SVG). It can also import from and export to various formats including SIF, SBML, CellDesigner and GPML.

Usage instructions

Download the library (we recommend the use of LTS version 10.x.x of node.js):

• via npm: npm install chise or
• via direct download in the repository (probably from a tag).

require() the library as appropriate for your project:

CommonJS:

var sbgnviz = require('sbgnviz');
var cytoscape = require('cytoscape-for-sbgnviz');
var jQuery = require('jQuery');
var filesaver = require('file-saver');
var sbgnviz = require('sbgnviz');
var tippy = require('tippy.js');

var options = {
};

var libs = {
    cytoscape: cytoscape,
    jQuery: jQuery,
    filesaver: filesaver,
    sbgnviz: sbgnviz,
    tippy = tippy
};

// Register chise with libs
chise.register(libs);

// Create a new chise.js instance
var chiseInstance = chise(options);

In plain JS you do not need to require the libraries you just need to register chise with the options.

Publishing instructions

This project is set up to automatically be published to npm and bower. To publish:

1. Build : npm run build
2. Commit the build : git commit -am "Build for release"
3. Bump the version number and tag: npm version major|minor|patch
4. Push to origin: git push && git push --tags
5. Publish to npm: npm publish .
6. If publishing to bower for the first time, you'll need to run bower register chise.js https://github.com/iVis-at-Bilkent/chise.js.git
