Interactive and configurable graphs with react and d3 effortlessly

Playground

Here a live playground page where you can interactively config your own graph, and generate a ready to use configuration! 😎

You can also load different data sets and configurations via URL query parameter. Below is a table with all the data sets available in the live sandbox for you to interactively explore different kinds of integrations with the library.

Do you want to visualize your own data set on the live sandbox? Just submit a PR! You're welcome 😁.

Install

npm install d3@^5.5.0      # if you don't have d3 already
npm install react@^16.4.1  # if you don't have react already

npm install react-d3-graph

About react and d3 peer dependencies

Note that react and d3 are peer-dependencies, this means that the responsibility to install them is delegated to the client. This will give you more flexibility on what versions of d3 and react you want to consume, you just need to make sure that you are compliant with the range of versions that react-d3-graph is compatible with. If you install react-d3-graph without first installing d3 and react you might see the following warnings:

npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of d3@^5.5.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself. npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of react@^16.4.1 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.

Minimal usage example

Graph component is the main component for react-d3-graph components, its interface allows its user to build the graph once the user provides the data, configuration (optional) and callback interactions (also optional). The code for the live example can be consulted here.

import { Graph } from "react-d3-graph";

// graph payload (with minimalist structure)
const data = {
  nodes: [{ id: "Harry" }, { id: "Sally" }, { id: "Alice" }],
  links: [
    { source: "Harry", target: "Sally" },
    { source: "Harry", target: "Alice" },
  ],
};

// the graph configuration, just override the ones you need
const myConfig = {
  nodeHighlightBehavior: true,
  node: {
    color: "lightgreen",
    size: 120,
    highlightStrokeColor: "blue",
  },
  link: {
    highlightColor: "lightblue",
  },
};

const onClickNode = function(nodeId) {
  window.alert(`Clicked node ${nodeId}`);
};

const onClickLink = function(source, target) {
  window.alert(`Clicked link between ${source} and ${target}`);
};

<Graph
  id="graph-id" // id is mandatory
  data={data}
  config={myConfig}
  onClickNode={onClickNode}
  onClickLink={onClickLink}
/>;

Contributions

Contributions are welcome, feel free to submit new ideas/features, just go ahead and open an issue. If you are more a hands on person, just submit a pull request. Before jumping into coding, please take a look at the contribution guidelines CONTRIBUTING.md.

To run react-d3-graph in development mode you just need to run npm run dev and the interactive sandbox will reload with the changes to the library code, that way you can test your changes not only through unit test but also through a real life example. It's that simple. The development workflow usually should follow the steps:

• Create a branch prefixed with fix/ for bug fixes, feature/ for new features, chore/ or refactor/ for refactoring or tooling and CI/CD related tasks.
• Make sure you are up to date running npm install.
• Run npm run dev.
• Make you changes inside the folder src and the interactive sandbox consumes your changes in real time with webpack-dev-server.
• You can run tests locally with npm run test (for unit tests) or npm run functional:local for e2e tests.
• After you're done, open the Pull Request and describe the changes you've made.

Alternatives (Not what you where looking for?)
