Due to the imperative nature of vis.js, updating graph properties causes complete redraw of graph and completely porting it to React is a big project itself!

This component takes three vis.js configuration objects as properties:

graph: contains two arrays { edges, nodes }
options: normal vis.js options as described here
events: an object that has event name as keys and their callback as values

Installation

// with npm
$ npm install vis-react --save

// with yarn
$ yarn add vis-react

Load

To use a component, include the javascript and css files of vis in your root html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vis/4.21.0/vis.min.js"></script>
		<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vis/4.21.0/vis.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
	</head>
	<body>
		<script type="text/javascript">
			// ... load a visualization
		</script>
	</body>
</html>

or load vis.js using require.js. Note that vis.css must be loaded too.

Usage

import Graph from 'vis-react';

var graph = {
	nodes: [
		{ id: 1, label: 'Node 1' },
		{ id: 2, label: 'Node 2' },
		{ id: 3, label: 'Node 3' },
		{ id: 4, label: 'Node 4' },
		{ id: 5, label: 'Node 5' }
	],
	edges: [
		{ from: 1, to: 2 },
		{ from: 1, to: 3 },
		{ from: 2, to: 4 },
		{ from: 2, to: 5 }
	]
};

var options = {
	layout: {
		hierarchical: true
	},
	edges: {
		color: '#000000'
	},
	interaction: { hoverEdges: true }
};

var events = {
	select: function(event) {
		var { nodes, edges } = event;
	}
};

React.render(
	<Graph
		graph={graph}
		options={options}
		events={events}
		style={style}
		getNetwork={this.getNetwork}
		getEdges={this.getEdges}
		getNodes={this.getNodes}
		vis={vis => (this.vis = vis)}
	/>,
	document.body
);

Yes, it's really all you need to get started as you can see in this live and interactive demo:
