Access to attributeNameMap

SherlockMones commented 2 years ago

Hello kind sir,

Problem

I am using your library when rendering CX networks. The node and edge properties can be read from the core without any problems. I am however having issues with cytoscape.js selectors, since the CX converter changes their property names (they append _u1, _u2 etc to distinguish properties I guess).

Steps to reproduce

The changes in network property names can be validated via this tool: https://frankkramer-lab.github.io/NDExEdit.

Load this sample network via UUID: 5820d988-68d5-11e7-961c-0ac135e8bacf
Select some nodes in the network
Check the table of selected nodes for the property names

The respective section in the converter: https://github.com/cytoscape/cx2js/blob/master/src/cx_to_js.js#L418

Favored solution

As far as I know, the correct property names, that can be used to make selections on the core, are stored in the attributeNameMap, the CX converter uses during conversion. If you could extend the library to add another Output() containing this attributeNameMap, that would be awesome.

Angular 13.3.4
