react-force-graph

View Demo View Github

This module exports 4 React components with identical interfaces: ForceGraph2D, ForceGraph3D, ForceGraphVR and ForceGraphAR. Each can be used to represent a graph data structure in a 2 or 3-dimensional space using a force-directed iterative layout.

For dependency convenience, all of the components are also available as stand-alone packages: react-force-graph-2d, react-force-graph-3d, react-force-graph-vr and react-force-graph-ar.

Uses canvas/WebGL for rendering and d3-force-3d for the underlying physics engine. Supports zooming/panning, node dragging and node/link hover/click interactions.

The second argument is the amount of padding (in px) between the edge of the canvas and the outermost node (default: 10px).

The loop segment of the graph is included for information, as an array of node ids. By default an exception will be thrown whenever a loop is encountered. You can override this method to handle this case externally and allow the graph to continue the DAG processing.
