It makes easy to publish networks on Web pages and allows developers to integrate network exploration in rich Web applications. Use JSX for graph configuration, including asynchronous graph loading. Library is lightweight and modular, so you can bundle only what you use. Easy to extend with additional components.

Please make sure to read CONTRIBUTION prerequisites section if you want to fork & change or contribute.
npm install --save react-sigma
or
yarn add react-sigma
or
bower install https://unpkg.com/react-sigma@1.2/dist/react-sigma.min.js
If you don't want to use webpack or browserify, you could always reference the
single file distribution, library will be available under global var ReactSigma:
``
import {Sigma, RandomizeNodePositions, RelativeSize} from 'react-sigma';
...
let myGraph = {nodes:[{id:"n1", label:"Alice"}, {id:"n2", label:"Rabbit"}], edges:[{id:"e1",source:"n1",target:"n2",label:"SEES"}]};
...
Note that graph nodes require x, y and size defined in order to be displayed, plugins like RelativeSize and RandomizeNodePositions might help to generate those. Sigma updates graph positions, therefore if to keep track of nodes in this example we use
`
import {Sigma, LoadJSON} from 'react-sigma'
...
...
Components reference
Please see react-sigma reference for details. Below is a brief concept.
Sigma
Sigma is the main component which reserves
area with a given style (default is full width, 500px height),
initializes renderer and camera in the given area and starts rendering graph.
be composed with sigma plugins using JSX syntax, e.g.:`
onOverNode={e => console.log("Mouse over node: " + e.data.node.label)}
graph={{nodes:["id0", "id1"], edges:[{id:"e0",source:"id0",target:"id1"}]}}>
`SigmaEnableWebGL
By default sigma package includes only canvas rendering functions with webpack2, though it can be easily extended with WebGL or SVG (see next topic). Importing SigmaEnableWebGL enables WebGL renderer, setting it as default renderer if WebGL is supported by browser.
import { Sigma, SigmaEnableWebGL } from 'react-sigma'
...
SigmaEnableSVG
Sigma can be easily extended with SVG renderer. Importing SigmaEnableSVG enables SVG renderer, though it does not set it as default so renderer should be explicitly specified in sigma options.
import { Sigma, SigmaEnableSVG } from 'react-sigma'
...
Extending sigma components
Sigma container will mount any child component with sigma instance under props.sigma. This way you can write custom sigma-aware components:
class MyCustomSigma extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props)
props.sigma.graph.addNode({id:"n3", label:props.label})
}
}
...
return
Components composition
Component which initialize or provide graph changes asynchronously are supposed to mount children
after initialized. For instance LoadJSON will render child subcomponents only after loading. This makes possible to build sequential composition in the pure JSX without any callbacks or handlers. In the following example RelativeSize will be instantiated only after loading from arctic.json file.
Types
All defined Sigma types stored under /types/sigma.js, can be used as a reference for objects and parameters.
