Commit Graph

Overview

The Commit Graph package is a React component that allows you to visualize a commit graph based on provided commit and branch head data. It provides an interactive and informative representation of commit history within a repository.

Installation

You can install the Commit Graph package via npm:

npm install commit-graph

Quick Start

Import the CommitGraph component and use it in your React application as follows:

import React from "react";
import CommitGraph from "commit-graph";

const MyComponent = () => {
  // Array of commit objects
  // Example commit object:
  const commits = [
    {
      hash: 'commit-hash',
      ownerName: 'repository-owner',
      repoName: 'repository-name',
      committer:
      {
        displayName: 'committer-displayName',
       }
      message: 'commit-message',
      parents: ['parent-commit-hash-1', 'parent-commit-hash-2'],
      committedAt: timestamp,
      commitLink: 'https://github.com/repository-owner/repository-name/main/commit-hash',
    }
  ];

  // Array of branch head objects
  // Example branch head object:
  const branchHeads = [
    {
      branchName: "branch-name-1",
      headCommitHash: "commit-hash-1",
    },
    {
      branchName: "branch-name-2",
      headCommitHash: "commit-hash-2",
    },
  ];

  return (
    <CommitGraph
      commits={commits}
      branchHeads={branchHeads}
      style={{
        commitSpacing: 50,
        branchSpacing: 20,
        branchColors: ["#FF0000", "#00FF00", "#0000FF"],
        nodeRadius: 2,
      }}
    />
  );
};

export default MyComponent;

commits (array)

An array of commit objects representing the commit history. Each commit object should have the following properties:

• committedAt (timestamp): The timestamp when the commit was made.
• commitLink (string, optional): the external link to the commit.

branchHeads (array)

An array of branch head objects representing the branch heads in the commit graph. Each branch head object should have the following properties:

• branchName (string): The name of the branch.
• headCommitHash (string): The commit hash at the head of the branch.

style (object, optional)

An optional object specifying the styling options for the commit graph. The style object should have the following properties:

• commitSpacing (number): The vertical spacing between commits.
• branchSpacing (number): The horizontal spacing between branches.
• branchColors (array of strings): An array of colors to be used for different branches. Default: ['#FF0000', '#00FF00', '#0000FF'].
• nodeRadius (number): The radius of the commit node circles.
