concentric layout: controlling node level from ipycytoscape

[shadiakiki1986]

Current (buggy) behaviour

concentric layout: node levels are controlled from a javascript function through argument named "concentric"
(docs at: https://js.cytoscape.org/#layouts/concentric )

Desired behaviour

This default function would check for a field in node data first, in case it is set from ipycytoscape, before falling back to using node degrees. ipycytoscape cannot send a javascript function to the front-end since ipywidgets/traitlets json-serializes all data sent to the front-end.

Minimum steps to reproduce

Check issue in ipycytoscape: cytoscape/ipycytoscape#238 (comment)

This sounds like an ipycytoscape issue. Have you tried posting your issue there?

Yes but it's not possible to fix it there because AFAIK ipywidgets doesn't support sending a javascript function to the front-end. OTOH it supports sending a string. So the ipycytoscape issue would be fixed if cytoscape concentric's default function checked a key "concentric" in the data field before falling back to the degree function.

Sounds like ipycytoscape should be converting this potential string option to a function on their JS/TS side. Have you posted your issue with ipycytoscape?

It could be fixed on ipycytoscape's side in a complex way, or it could be fixed here in cytoscape.js with 1 line of code.
The above PR #2951 does the job.
