Network graph dynamically in javascript

Hello everyone, I want to create a graph network dynamically in js, I have found vis library to achieve my goal.Also, I would like to add some events when I clicked in a node or in an edge. I have done this but I have a problem. When I double click in a node, I show a pop-up and I have to add some extra info about the node. This info I want to save and when I double click again the same node, I want to have it. This unfortunately does not happen, I lost my info when i click save. Can you help me how to fix this problem?
Thank you!
Here is my code,
