neo4jd3.js
Neo4j graph visualization using D3.js.
Features
- Compaptible with the Neo4j data format and the D3.js data format.
- Force simulation.
- Info panel that shows nodes and relationships information on hover.
- Double click callbacks.
- Custom node colors by node type.
- Text nodes + Font Awesome icon nodes + SVG image nodes (e.g. using Twitter Emoji)).
- Sticky nodes (drag to stick, single click to unstick).
- Dynamic graph update (e.g. double click a node to expand it).
- Highlight nodes on init.
- Relationship auto-orientation.
- Zoom, pan, auto fit.
- Compatible with D3.js v4.

| infoPanel | boolean | Show the information panel: true, false. Default: true. |
| minCollision | int | Minimum distance between nodes. Default: 2 * nodeRadius. |
| neo4jData | object | Graph data in Neo4j data format. |
| neo4jDataUrl | string | URL of the endpoint that serves the graph data in Neo4j data format. |
| nodeRadius | int | Radius of nodes. Default: 25. |
| onNodeClick | function | Callback function to be executed when the user clicks a node. |
| onNodeDoubleClick | function | Callback function to be executed when the user double clicks a node. |
| onNodeDragEnd | function | Callback function to be executed when the user finishes dragging a node. |
| onNodeDragStart | function | Callback function to be executed when the user starts dragging a node. |
| onNodeMouseEnter | function | Callback function to be executed when the mouse enters a node. |
| onNodeMouseLeave | function | Callback function to be executed when the mouse leaves a node. |
| onRelationshipDoubleClick | function | Callback function to be executed when the user double clicks a relationship. |
| zoomFit | boolean | Adjust the graph to the container once it has been loaded: true, false. Default: false. |
JavaScript API
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| appendRandomDataToNode(d, maxNodesToGenerate) | Generates between 1 and maxNodesToGenerate random nodes connected to node d and updates the graph data. |
| neo4jDataToD3Data(data) | Converts data from Neo4j data format to D3.js data format. |
| randomD3Data(d, maxNodesToGenerate) | Generates between 1 and maxNodesToGenerate random nodes connected to node d. |
| size() | Returns the number of nodes and relationships. Example: {nodes: 25,relationships: 50} |
| updateWithD3Data(d3Data) | Updates the graph data using the D3.js data format. |
| updateWithNeo4jData(neo4jData) | Updates the graph data using the Neo4j data format. |
| version() | Returns the version of neo4jd3.js. Example: '0.0.1' |
