Can I use the "layered" edge routing in conjunction with a different node layout algorithm?

Hi! 👋

The "layered" algorithm will route edges based on org.eclipse.elk.edgeRouting as POLYLINE, ORTHOGONAL, SPLINES... which look nice. I'd like to apply the same edge routing to other layouts. How can I achieve this? It seems to me that the code to do the edge routing must be there so I could call it directly somehow without positioning the nodes?

Often the edge routing relies on the information where layers are. What you are searching for is standalone edge routing eclipse/elk#315 which is a little complicated.
It is not available elkjs but Typefox developed a bridge to libavoid https://github.com/TypeFox/elk-libavoid that could deliver this feature.
