if (graph.selectNode('node-123')) {
  const node = graph.getSelectedNode();
  console.log('Selected:', node.data);
  showDetailsPanel(node);

Example

typescript

// Zoom to fit after data loads

graph.zoomToFit();

// Zoom to fit within batch operations
await graph.batchOperations(async () => {
    await graph.setStyleTemplate({graph: {twoD: true}});
