react-simple-network-graph

Introduction

This package contains React components that render network graphs. It exports two components:

• <NetworkGraph />, which will render a static network graph; and
• <DynamicNetworkGraph />, which will render a dynamic graph, with draggable vertices and a numerical simulation that adjusts the vertex positions until an optimised edge length is obtained.

The package is not optimised for the display of huge networks. However, its has minimal dependencies (just React, @babel/runtime and prop-types) and is very lightweight. Both the visual display of the graphs and the movement of the dynamic graph can be customised.

Examples

See the project website: https://andypea.github.io/react-simple-network-graph

Installation

The components exported by this package are React components. You can use them within your existing React app or create a new one.

Once you have created your React app install the react-svg-stars package:

npm install react-simple-network-graph

or

yarn install react-simple-network-graph

Usage

Once installed, you can import and use the NetworkGraph or DynamicNetworkGraph component within your app:

import { DynamicNetworkGraph } from 'react-simple-network-graph';

...

<DynamicNetworkGraph
    width={400}
    height={400}
    vertices={[
      { id: "Gacrux", label: "Gacrux", fill: "yellow", position: { cx: 200, cy: 100 }, },
      { id: "Mimosa", label: "Mimosa", fill: "white", position: { cx: 100, cy: 150 }, },
      { id: "Acrux", label: "Acrux", fill: "white", position: { cx: 200, cy: 250 }, },
      { id: "Imai", label: "Imai", fill: "white", position: { cx: 300, cy: 125 }, },
      { id: "Ginan", label: "Ginan", fill: "lightblue", position: { cx: 240, cy: 250 }, },
    ]}
    edges={[
      { id: "GacruxAcrux", source: "Gacrux", target: "Acrux", length: 300 },
      { id: "MimosaImai", source: "Mimosa", target: "Imai", length: 200 },
    ]}
    />
