Expose internal draw.io configuration options

[nopeslide]

Draw.io has many internal options, that can be used to enable additional features and could be exposed to the user. I identified these as useful:

• mxGraph.prototype.setConnectableEdges

  • make edges connectable
    • would love this feature to be configurable
  • default: false

• mxGraph.prototype.setAllowDanglingEdges

  • edges need to have a src & dst
  • default: true

• mxGraph.prototype.setMultigraph

  • edges with same src & dst are allowed
  • default: true

• mxGraph.prototype.setAllowLoops

  • edges with src == dst are allowed
  • default: true

Sadly these are not part of the normal configuration afaik.

Thanks for this idea! Would they lead to a lock in to this VS Code extension or can diagrams created with these settings still be edited with the online editor?

Since most of them just deny specific inputs, I assume they are completely portable.

Tried to make edges connectable and stumbled over these options :D

It should not be that hard to create a PR to make those settings configurable in this extension!

Ideally, there would be an option inside of drawio, together will the other diagram-wide drawio options.
