AntV G6

How to use AntV G6

To use AntV G6, you need to follow these steps:

1. Install the AntV G6 library: You can install it using a package manager like npm or yarn. Open your terminal and run the following command:

   npm install @antv/g6
   

   This will download and install the AntV G6 library in your project.

2. Import the necessary components: In your JavaScript file, import the required modules from AntV G6. For example, if you want to create a graph, you would import the

   Graph
   module like this:

   import { Graph } from '@antv/g6';
   

3. Create a container element: In your HTML file, create an element (e.g.,

   <div>
   ) that will serve as the container for your graph.

   <div id="graphContainer"></div>
   

4. Initialize the graph: In your JavaScript file, initialize the graph by providing the container element and any desired configurations. For example:

   const graph = new Graph({
     container: 'graphContainer',
     width: 800,
     height: 600,
     // Other configurations...
   });
   

5. Add nodes and edges: Use the

   graph.addItem()
   method to add nodes and edges to your graph. Each node and edge is represented by a data object with properties defining its attributes. For example:

   // Add a node
   graph.addItem('node', {
     id: 'node1',
     x: 100,
     y: 100,
     label: 'Node 1',
   });
   
   // Add an edge
   graph.addItem('edge', {
     id: 'edge1',
     source: 'node1',
     target: 'node2',
     label: 'Edge 1',
   });
   

6. Handle events: AntV G6 provides various event listeners that you can attach to the graph or individual items. For example, you can listen for click events on nodes:

   graph.on('node:click', (event) => {
     const { item } = event;
     console.log('Node clicked:', item.getModel());
   });
   

7. Render the graph: Finally, use the

   graph.render()
   method to render the graph on the page.

   graph.render();
   

These are the basic steps to get started with AntV G6. However, there are many more features and configurations available in the library. I recommend referring to the official AntV G6 documentation (https://g6.antv.vision/) for detailed examples and guides on how to utilize its capabilities effectively.
