I'm new to react.
By my research, I figured out that React-D3-component can serve my purpose.
I'm looking for an example of a Multi-series Line chart with tooltip and zoomable function. Basic line chart would also make this trick for my first steps.
I've a create-react-app, boilerplate ready. I need to put up this graph into a create-react-app project.
Please guide me through an example, which explains step by step how to implement this kind of graph.
Here are a few steps to do in order to make your app work:
Config your create-react-app boiler plate with Webpack and make sure you can run it without React-D3-component module.
Find the homepage component (normally main.js) try to modify some basic HTML elements and see if you can see the changes on page with hot-reloading. For instance, adding a H1 red tag.
Install React-D3-component module with npm command:
npm install react-d3-components --save
Start adding React-D3-component into your homepage component you just modified by importing the module:
import ReactD3 from 'react-d3-components'
Follow the example here, and create your chart components in your homepage.
This workflow should work for any React modules for testing purposes.

I am a big fan of the cytoscape.js chart and I almost used so many types of the cytoscape.js chart without angular or react. Now I am trying to find out a working git repo that cytoscape.js chart with the angular 13 version. I also got a git repo from the official cytoscape.js website, but it's not working properly. Seems the cytoscape.js developers are not concentrated on the angular wrapper. Any one have any idea about this?
You don't need a package to use it.
npm i cytoscape
npm i -D #types/cytoscape
This will install the library and the typings for it.
You can use
import { whatever } from 'cytoscape';
all! I currently met a difficulty with my project. I want to modify the code of a component from a UI library (like Semantic-UI, Material-UI). What I do now is just edited the code from the node_modules. But the reality is no matter how I change the code from node_modules, my project will not be affected. Why this will
Well that's because most modules have build process which you need to run before using them. Also editing a module directly is not a good idea because any change you do to them is guaranteed to be lost after next npm install.
As Vuetify is a MIT licensed, I suggest to fork its GitHub project and then publish it as your own npm package.
So, I'm making a small chat tool using react-chat-elements as UI library for chat components. I'd like to modify certain CSS values to match what I want to build without being tied to that specific library the way it is now (it hasn't been updated since 5 months ago).
So what I tried is fork it to my Github account, created the NPM package from it (react-chat-elements-av) without making any changes first to make sure it worked the same way as with the original. However, when I import a specific component from the NPM package I created, say import { MessageBox, SystemMessage } from "react-chat-elements-av";, I get an error saying Attempted import error: 'MessageBox' is not exported from 'react-chat-elements-av'., being the attempted import location: /node_modules/react-chat-elements-av/index.
Now, if I import those two components from the original NPM package, import { MessageBox, SystemMessage } from "react-chat-elements";, everything works and the import location is a bit different: /node_modules/react-chat-elements/dist/main.
Is there something I'm missing on the creation of that dist directory when doing npm install react-chat-elements-av? I literally forked the original repo, and created the NPM package with it, no changes made to any webpack config or so.
Any idea what could be happening here?
Thanks in advance!
The dist repository is for production grade code after it has been built. It's the distribution file. try seeing how they have built their library by running npm run build once you've downloaded it.
I'm building my very own boilerplate starter kit for React + Redux development and wanted to know if there is a way to hide webpack.config.js and .babelrc files?
For example under the hood the create-react-app also has webpack.config.js and .babelrc files but they are hidden until the npm run eject command. How can I do that in a similar way?
Many thanks in advance!
Yes, Facebook's Create React App does this by adding it as a npm package. You can see the package here: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app or on NPM here https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-scripts.
Then when you build it runs the build scripts inside of the package. I'd put good thought into forking what they have if you are really going down this path and then pull in their updates in a base branch and play forward your modifications.
Electron's website says that the applications made with electron can have access to node modules. Can they have access to the D3 library? If so, how can it be set up?
D3 is available as a Node.js module that can be imported into the JavaScript code you want to use to render your visualisation application.
As an example of how to integrate D3 into an Electron application, have a look at my D3 Space Filler Explorer application on GitHub. This application visualises disk space use with multiple D3 pie charts and a D3 treemap.
One pattern I found useful was to inject the SVG element into the D3 visualisation, which differs from the usual approach in D3 examples which creates the SVG element in the visualisation. See examples of this dependency injection in the /app/js/pie-chart.js and /app/js/treemap-chart.js files.
All (at least theoretically) pure JS modules are compatible with electron, since it also provides a (CommonJS) javascript runtime environment (io.js).
The only important thing is that electron doesn't automatically sets the NODE_PATH variable and doesn't look in system/global modules path for required modules. So you just have to make sure that you have the path to d3.js on your NODE_PATH:
NODE_PATH="/PATH/TO/d3.js" electron /PATH/TO/APP
We solved this in our workteam installing d3 with Npm:
npm install d3 --save
and in index.html we put this:
<script>var d3 = require("d3")</script>
We were getting this issue from nv.d3.js line 18, there is a little function requiring d3 as a node module and in our app we were using it in bower_components, so installing it with npm and requesting in your index directly from node_modules like as I said will probably solve this issue as it did with us.
