A library for creating directed graph editors

react-digraph

Overview

A React component which makes it easy to create a directed graph editor without implementing any of the SVG drawing or event handling logic.

Important v8.0.0 Information

Version 8.0.0 introduces multi-select nodes and edges using Ctrl-Shift-Mouse events (Cmd-Shift-mouse for Mac). This requires a breaking change. Instead of onSelectNode/Edge, you'll only provide one onSelect function callback and a selected object with { nodes: Map, and edges: Map } as the parameter format. The typings folder has the exact type definition for these attributes. When either edges or nodes are selected the onSelect function will fire with the object. You will have to handle all nodes and edges selected, or if there is only one then you will have to determine if it's a node or edge within the onSelect function.

To disable multi-select you can set allowMultiselect to false, which disables the Ctrl-Shift-mouse event, but we will still use the onSelect function. Both onSelectNode and onSelectEdge are deprecated.

Breaking changes:

  • onPasteSelected now accepts a SelectionT object for the first parameter
  • onPasteSelected now accepts an IPoint instead of a XYCoords array for the second parameter.
  • onDeleteSelected is added which takes a SelectionT parameter.
  • onSelect is added, which accepts SelectionT and Event parameters.
  • onUpdateNode accepts a Map of updated nodes in the second parameter (for example, if multiple nodes are moved).
  • selected is a new property to track selected nodes and edges. It is a SelectionT type.
  • canDeleteSelected takes the place of canDeleteNode and canDeleteEdge. It accepts a SelectionT type as a parameter.
  • onDeleteNode is removed
  • onDeleteEdge is removed
  • selectedNode is removed
  • selectedEdge is removed
  • canDeleteNode is removed
  • canDeleteEdge is removed
  • selectedNodes is removed
  • selectedEdges is removed

Installation

bash
npm install --save react-digraph

If you don't have the following peerDependenies, make sure to install them:

bash
npm install --save react react-dom

Usage

The default export is a component called GraphView; it provides a multitude of hooks for various graph editing operations and a set of controls for zooming. Typically, it should be wrapped in a higher order component that supplies various callbacks (onCreateNode, onCreateEdge etc...).

GraphView expects several properties to exist on your nodes and edges. If these types conflict with existing properties on your data, you must transform your data to re-key these properties under different names and to add the expected properties. All nodes and edges can have a type attribute set - nodes also support a subtype attribute. For a full description of node and edge properties, see the sections for INode and IEdge below.

Configuration for nodes and edges can be passed to GraphView via the nodeTypes, nodeSubtypes, and edgeTypes props. Custom SVG elements can be defined here for the node's type/subtype and the edge's type.

It is often convenient to combine these types into a configuration object that can be referred to elsewhere in the application and used to associate events fired from nodes/edges in the GraphView with other actions in the application. Here is an abbreviated example:

…

A typical graph that would be stored in the Graph component's state looks something like this:

For a detailed example, check out src/examples/graph.js. To run the example:

bash
npm install
npm run example

A webpage will open in your default browser automatically.

  • To add nodes, hold shift and click on the grid.
  • To add edges, hold shift and click/drag to between nodes.
  • To delete a node or edge, click on it and press delete.
  • Click and drag nodes to change their position.
  • To select multiple nodes, press Ctrl+Shift then click and drag the mouse.
  • You may copy and paste selected nodes and edges with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V
  • Note: On Mac computers, use Cmd instead of Ctrl.

All props are detailed below.

Props

Prop Type Required Notes
nodeKey string true Key for D3 to update nodes(typ. UUID).
nodes Array<INode> true Array of graph nodes.
edges Array<IEdge> true Array of graph edges.
allowCopyEdges boolean false (default false) Allow onCopySelected to be called when an edge is selected without any nodes.
allowMultiselect boolean false (default true) Use Ctrl-Shift-LeftMouse to draw a multiple selection box.
selected object true The currently selected graph entity.
nodeTypes object true Config object of available node types.
nodeSubtypes object true Config object of available node subtypes.
edgeTypes object true Config object of available edge types.
onSelect func false Called when nodes are selected when allowMultiselect is true. Is passed an object with nodes and edges included.
onCreateNode func true Called when a node is created.
onContextMenu func true Called when contextmenu event triggered.
onUpdateNode func true Called when a node is moved.
onCreateEdge func true Called when an edge is created.
onSwapEdge func true Called when an edge 'target' is swapped.
onBackgroundClick func false Called when the background is clicked.
onArrowClicked func false Called when the arrow head is clicked.
onUndo func false A function called when Ctrl-Z is activated. React-digraph does not keep track of actions, this must be implemented in the client website.
onCopySelected func false A function called when Ctrl-C is activated. React-digraph does not keep track of copied nodes or edges, the this must be implemented in the client website.
onPasteSelected func false A function called when Ctrl-V is activated. React-digraph does not keep track of copied nodes or edges, the this must be implemented in the client website.
canDeleteSelected func false takes the place of canDeleteNode and canDeleteEdge. It accepts a SelectionT type as a parameter. It is called before a node or edge is deleted. The function should return a boolean.
canCreateEdge func false Called before an edge is created.
canSwapEdge func false Called before an edge 'target' is swapped.
afterRenderEdge func false Called after an edge is rendered.
renderNode func false Called to render node geometry.
renderNodeText func false Called to render the node text
renderDefs func false Called to render SVG definitions.
renderBackground func false Called to render SVG background.
readOnly bool false Disables all graph editing interactions.
disableBackspace bool false Disables using backspace to delete the selected node.
maxTitleChars number false Truncates node title characters.
gridSize number false Overall grid size.
gridSpacing number false Grid spacing.
gridDotSize number false Grid dot size.
minZoom `num
