Cytoscape add custom image to node with clickable items on it

I am building a charting tool in ember using cytoscape js and I can render chart data however I do not know how to set each node to display with a image that has other images/buttons that function within it. Basically I want it to look like this:

In the image there are two buttons (I will most likely add icons as well) and also there are labels that exist within the node which I don't know how to do either.

Here is the code I currently have.

Template:

<div class="container" >
  <div id="cy"></div>
</div>

Component JS:

import Ember from 'ember';


export default Ember.Component.extend({
tagName: '',

map: Ember.computed('model.map_data', function()
{
 if(this.get('model.map_data')){
   return JSON.parse(this.get('model.map_data').data)
  } else {
   return {};
  }
 }),
cytoscape_data: Ember.computed('model.sub_apps.[]',function() {
var ret = {
        nodes: [],
        edges: []
};
var red = 50;//replace with threshold
var green = 25;//replace with threshold
var _this = this;
this.get("model").map_data.forEach(function(node) {
  var y= 0;
  var x = 0;
  var color = 'green';
  if(node.value >= red ){
    color = 'red';
  }else {
    if(node.value > green){
      color = 'orange';
    }
  }
  var position = _this.get("map")["app" + node.id];
  if(position){
    x = parseInt(position.split(',')[0]);
    y = parseInt(position.split(',')[1]);
  }
  ret["nodes"].push({
          data: {
                  id: node.id,
                  label: node.name,
                  node_type: 'app',
                  tooltip: node.description,
                  color: color
          },
          position: {
                  x: x,
                  y: y
          }
  });
  if(node.relations) {
    node.relations.forEach(function(parent) {

      ret["edges"].push({
        data: {
          source: node.id,
          target: parent.app_to_id
        }
      });
    });
  }
});

 return ret;
}),

didInsertElement: function() {
 this._super();
 var cy = cytoscape({
 container: Ember.$('#cy')[0],
 elements: this.get("cytoscape_data"),
 zoom: 1,
 pan: { x: 0, y: 0 },
 fit: true,
 randomize: false,
 layout: {
      name: 'preset'
    },
  style: [
    {
      selector: 'node',
      style: {
        'content': 'data(label)',
        'text-opacity': 0.8,
        'text-valign': 'center',
        'text-halign': 'right',
        'width': '200px',
        'height': '200px',
        'border-color': 'green',
        'border-width': 3,
        'border-opacity': 0.5,
        'background-image': 'url(../assets/images/base_node_image.svg)'
        // 'background-color': 'data(color)'
      }
    },
    {
      selector: 'edge',
      style: {
        'width': 6,
        'border-color': 'green',
        'target-arrow-shape': 'triangle',
        'target-arrow-color': 'red',
        'opacity': 1,
        'curve-style': 'bezier'
      }
    },

    {
      selector: ':selected',
      style: {
        'background-color': 'orange',
        'opacity': 1
      }
    },

    {
      selector: '.faded',
      style: {
        'opacity': 0.0,
        'text-opacity': 0
      }
    },
  ],

});
Ember.run.scheduleOnce('afterRender', this, function(){
  cy;
});
cy.on('click', 'node', function(evt){
  var node = evt.target;
  console.log( 'clicked ' + node.data('label') );
   });
  },
});

The chart this code renders looks like this:

I can display a background-image however it displays in a circle which I dont know how to get rid of. The color of the circle is determined by some logic above which was a test to see if it works and that is fine (going to use that for one of the icons on the node later). I can also display the label for the node but I don't know how to display that within the node itself.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

It is not so trivial to achieve what you want if not impossible. You say "set each node to display with a image that has other images/buttons that function within it."; this means you need to render html into a canvas; because what cytoscape puts as drawing area is an HTML canvas.

See @maxfranz's (author of cytoscape.js) for a relevant question; where he basically says "It's not possible to render HTML in a canvas, nor would you probably want to for performance".

This means putting html buttons, URLs might not be what you desire. See also MDN Web Docs for further explanation.

That said; I think you can still manage to achieve what you want; but with a different approach. You can make use of cytoscape's compound nodes. You can define the images and buttons as simple nodes and define compound nodes as surrounding containers. I have created a working example for you at the follwoing github repository.

The final result I got is as follows:

I hope this helps.
