node / link canvas object mode doesn't work when passing string

[Anchel123]

Describe the bug
When i pass to the node / link canvas object mode a string and not () => string which the docs said you can
nothing works i don't know if it's because the mode was set to default or something else

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. pass string to the node / link canvas object instead of a function that return string
2. render some data
3. see that the node / link canvas object was not fire

Expected behavior
to be able to pass string and not just a function

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
• Browser Chrome
• Version v1.44.4

@Anchel123 thanks for reaching out.

To clarify your doubt, you can pass a string to these accessor methods, but the interpretation of it is that the string is supposed to represent the name of the attribute in the object being accessed that holds the value. Not the value itself.

In other words if you pass the string 'mode', the node/link object is expected to have an attribute called mode which holds the value for that particular node. As in node.mode = 'replace' for instance.

This is standard accessor method behaviour, and is consistent across the whole API.

Hope that made some sense.
