react-force-graph ================= [![NPM package][npm-img]][npm-url] [![NPM Downloads][npm-downloads-img]][npm-downloads-url] React bindings for the **force-graph** [suite](https://vasturiano.github.io/react-force-graph/example/forcegraph-dependencies) of components: [force-graph](https://github.com/vasturiano/force-graph) (2D HTML Canvas), [3d-force-graph](https://github.com/vasturiano/3d-force-graph) (ThreeJS/WebGL), [3d-force-graph-vr](https://github.com/vasturiano/3d-force-graph-vr) (A-Frame) and [3d-force-graph-ar](https://github.com/vasturiano/3d-force-graph-ar) (AR.js).

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](https://github.com/vasturiano/d3-force-3d) for the underlying physics engine. Supports zooming/panning, node dragging and node/link hover/click interactions. ## Examples * [Basic](https://vasturiano.github.io/react-force-graph/example/basic/)
