# Network - configure

Handles the HTML part of the canvas.

### Options

The options for the canvas have to be contained in an object titled 'configure'.

Click on the full options or shorthand options to show how these options are supposed to be used.

    // these are all options in full.
    var options = {
      configure: {
        enabled: true,
        filter: 'nodes,edges',
        container: undefined,
        showButton: true
      }
    }

    network.setOptions(options);

    // only the options that have shorthand notations are shown.
    var options = {
      configure: 'nodes,edges'
    }

    network.setOptions(options);

As shown above, alternative to supplying an object, you can supply a `String`, `Array`, `Function` or `Boolean`. These will do the same as the filter option described below.

Name | Type | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
enabled | Boolean | `true` | Toggle the configuration interface on or off. This is an optional parameter. If left undefined and any of the other properties of this object are defined, this will be set to true.
filter | String, Array, Boolean, Function | `true` | When a boolean, true gives you all options, false will not show any. If a string is supplied, any combination of the following is allowed: nodes, edges, layout, interaction, manipulation, physics, selection, renderer. Feel free to come up with a fun separating character. Finally, when supplied an array of strings, any of the previously mentioned fields are accepted. When supplying a function, you receive two arguments. The option and the path of the option within the options object. If it returns true, the options will be shown in the configurator. Example:
    function (option, path) {
      return path.indexOf('physics') !== -1;
    }
This only shows the physics options.
container | DOM element | `undefined` | This allows you to put the configure list in another HTML container than below the network.
showButton | Boolean | `true` | Show the generate options button at the bottom of the configurator.
