Have custom filters examples embedded to help one write their own

[boogheta]

It's really cool that Gephi Lite allows one to write their own custom filter, I was having a headache trying to compose a complex one with Gephi's Reverse Polish Notation system and felt like gephi lite was gonna save me with this feature.

Although, I was a bit disappointed when I opened the code editor interface because the template given provides the form of the function and documentation of the parameters, but there are no example anywhere, neither on the non-custom filters (being able to read the corresponding code would be great), nor within for instance a commented example within the template.

Those actions in my last commit should fixed this issue :

• refacto JS doc for each functions
• adding samples in the function body as comments
• adding link to the website documentation
• autocompletion for graph and attributs in the editor

Trop bien merci beaucoup !
Je n'ai pas de stack installée en local pour tester, vous avez une preprod quelque part où je pourrais voir le résultat à un moment ?

@boogheta we have a dev instance running on our server, and I can share the link with you.

In the meantime, you can check the newly published documentation page: https://docs.gephi.org/lite/user-manual/custom-scripts

The modal will include a direct link to this page.

If there’s any missing information, please let me know.
I can also add more examples—happy to do so if you have ideas 🙂

That looks very good to me, thanks again!
An example of complex use case I can think of would be something depending on neighboors, like filter only nodes having at least one neighboors from a specific category for instance.
This is mostly graphology knowledge, but I guess most users might not already know it, so also adding a link to graphology's doc there might make sense? oups just saw it's already there!
