Introducing the Socket Python SDK
The initial version of the Socket Python SDK is now on PyPI, enabling developers to more easily interact with the Socket REST API in Python projects.
The graphlib package is a JavaScript library for creating and manipulating directed and undirected graphs. It provides a variety of methods for graph creation, traversal, and analysis, making it a versatile tool for working with graph data structures.
Graph Creation
This feature allows you to create a new graph, add nodes, and create edges between nodes. The code sample demonstrates how to create a graph, add two nodes 'a' and 'b', and create an edge from 'a' to 'b'.
const graphlib = require('graphlib');
const g = new graphlib.Graph();
g.setNode('a');
g.setNode('b');
g.setEdge('a', 'b');
console.log(g.nodes()); // ['a', 'b']
console.log(g.edges()); // [{ v: 'a', w: 'b' }]
Graph Traversal
This feature allows you to traverse the graph using depth-first search (DFS). The code sample demonstrates how to perform a DFS starting from node 'a' and prints the traversal order.
const graphlib = require('graphlib');
const g = new graphlib.Graph();
g.setNode('a');
g.setNode('b');
g.setNode('c');
g.setEdge('a', 'b');
g.setEdge('b', 'c');
const dfs = graphlib.alg.dfs(g, ['a']);
console.log(dfs); // [{ v: 'a' }, { v: 'b' }, { v: 'c' }]
Graph Analysis
This feature allows you to analyze the graph for properties such as acyclicity. The code sample demonstrates how to check if the graph contains cycles and prints the result.
const graphlib = require('graphlib');
const g = new graphlib.Graph();
g.setNode('a');
g.setNode('b');
g.setNode('c');
g.setEdge('a', 'b');
g.setEdge('b', 'c');
g.setEdge('c', 'a');
const isAcyclic = graphlib.alg.isAcyclic(g);
console.log(isAcyclic); // false
Cytoscape is a graph theory library for visualization and analysis. It provides a rich set of features for graph manipulation and visualization, making it more suitable for applications that require interactive graph displays. Compared to graphlib, Cytoscape offers more advanced visualization capabilities but may be more complex to use for simple graph operations.
d3-graphviz is a library for rendering graphs described in the DOT language using D3. It is particularly useful for visualizing complex graphs and integrates well with the D3 ecosystem. While graphlib focuses on graph manipulation and analysis, d3-graphviz excels in graph rendering and visualization.
Dagre is a JavaScript library for laying out directed graphs on the client-side. It is often used in conjunction with graphlib for layout purposes. Dagre provides advanced layout algorithms, making it a good complement to graphlib's graph manipulation capabilities.
Graphlib is a JavaScript library that provides an implementation of a multi-graph. This library is used as part of the dagre library, but is available here in a light-weight, standalone form.
Note that graphlib is current a pre-1.0.0 library. We will do our best to maintain backwards compatibility, for patch level increases (e.g. 0.0.1 to 0.0.2) but make no claim to backwards compatibility across minor releases (e.g. 0.0.1 to 0.1.0). Watch our CHANGELOG for details on changes.
Before installing this library you need to install the npm package manager.
To get graphlib from npm, use:
$ npm install graphlib
You can get the latest browser-ready scripts:
Before building this library you need to install the npm package manager.
Check out this project and run this command from the root of the project:
$ make
This will generate graphlib.js
and graphlib.min.js
in the root of the project.
var Digraph = require("graphlib").Digraph;
// Create a new empty graph
var g = new Digraph();
// Add node "A" to the graph with no value
g.addNode("A");
// This returns true
g.hasNode("A");
// Add node "B" to the graph with a String value
g.addNode("B", "B's value");
// Prints `B's value`
console.log(g.node("B"));
// Add node "C" to the graph with an Object value
g.addNode("C", { k: 123 });
g.addNode("D");
// Prints `[ 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' ]`
console.log(g.nodes());
// Add a directed edge with the ID "AB" from "A" to "B", but assign no value
g.addEdge("AB", "A", "B");
// Add a directed edge with no ID (Diraph will assign one) from "B" to "C"
g.addEdge(null, "B", "C");
// Add a directed edge from "C" to "D" with an Object value
g.addEdge("CD", "C", "D", { k: 456 });
// Since Digraph is a multi-graph, we can have multiple edges incident on the
// same source and target nodes.
g.addEdge("AB2", "A", "B");
// Prints `[ 'AB', '_ANON-1', 'CD', 'AB2' ]`. `_ANON-1` is the edge from "B" to "C"
console.log(g.edges());
// Which edges go from "A" to "B"? This prints `[ 'AB', 'AB2' ]`
console.log(g.edges("A", "B"));
// Which edges are incident on "D"? This prints `[ 'CD' ]`
console.log(g.edges("D"));
// How about a subgraph?
var g2 = g.subgraph(["A", "B", "C"]);
// Prints `[ 'A', 'B', 'C' ]`
console.log(g2.nodes());
// Prints `[ 'AB', '_ANON-1', 'AB2' ]`. Note that edges that have both their
// source and target nodes in the graph are also included in the subgraph.
console.log(g2.edges());
