How to check a jointJS element not based on type but on stencil name instead

I want in Rappid to make a check when inserting an element inside Paper, if this element is Workitem or Activity but the only similar check I found in Rappid documentation is:

if (cell.get('type') !== 'link'){//Do something}

which checks if this element is a link or not. Is there any way to check not based on 'type' but based on 'name' instead(where 'name is one of the Stencil names of basic shapes)?

I mean how will I check if an element is a shape with Stencil name Activity or Workitem?

And where please can I perform this check inside my code since I try so far in the creation of my halo to insert a single line of code and I can't.(e.x. I can't even do this cell.set('wi_name', "ACTIVITY"); to set an inspector field with name wi_name having the name Activity)

Solution

  • I solved my problem this way:

    if (cell.get('type') === 'basic.Rect'){}

    Where basic.Rect is the basic shape with name either Activity or Workitem as stated in the Stencil.
