How to query connections/endpoints contained in a parent div - jsplumb

Question

Is there a way to query jsPlumb in order to retrieve all connections whose "source" and "target" properties have the same parent div? Currently, I am manually setting the "scope" property of each connection (based on the parent div's id), and this works. However, feels hacky. I feel as if there should be some way to query jsPlumb like
jsPlumb.select('#parentDiv').each(function(connection) {
/*do stuff here*/
});

Answer 1

At the time of connection creation itself you can check and store those connections separately instead of checking for it later. Code:
jsPlumb.bind("jsPlumbConnection", function(ci) {
var s=ci.sourceId,c=ci.targetId;
var f=$('#'+s).parent().attr("id");
var g=$('#'+c).parent().attr("id");
if( f===g ){
// store ci.connection
console.log("Connection:"+ ci.connection +" has same parent div");
}
});

This is how you can confined it to a specific parent div & use 'instance' for each jsPlumb operation :
jsPlumb.ready(function () {
instance = jsPlumb.getInstance({
DragOptions: { cursor: 'pointer', zIndex: 2000 },
ConnectionOverlays: [
["Arrow", { width: 12, length: 15, location: -3 }],
],
Container: "parent" //put parent div id here
});
});

function containsCycle() {
var return_content = false;
$('.item:visible').each(function() {
$(this).addClass("white");
});
$('.item:visible').each(function() {
$vertex = $(this);
if ($vertex.hasClass("white")) {
if (visit($vertex)) {
return_content = true;
return false;
}
}
});
return return_content;
}
function visit(vertex) {
vertex.removeClass("white")
.addClass("grey");
var vertex_connections = jsPlumb
.getConnections({
source: vertex
});
for (var i = 0; i < vertex_connections.length; i++) {
if ($('#' + vertex_connections[i].targetId)
.hasClass("grey")) {
return true;
} else if ($('#' + vertex_connections[i].targetId)
.hasClass("white")) {
if (visit($('#' + vertex_connections[i].targetId))) {
return true;
}
}
}
vertex.removeClass("grey")
.addClass("black");
return false;
}
Use this code to find the cycle connection
