react-hexgrid VS react-pan-and-zoom-hoc

the game interface built on top of (a heavily-modded version of) the awesome react-hexgrid package.

An example of the former while building the network graph, was react-hexgrid. The documentation was unfinished, but what sold me were the examples and the simplicity of the code.

If you're doing D&D you might want a hex grid like this one though: https://github.com/Hellenic/react-hexgrid

At first, I was going to use react-indiana-drag-scroll to solve the first problem. And it worked. But I had a feeling that there might be a solution that solved both of these problems at the same time. Searching on libhunt, openbase, and duckduckgo, I found out that this problem is actually very old and the term that better fit my problem was "pan and zoom". Searching with this term, I stumbled upon react-pan-and-zoom-hoc, which helped solve my problem, but it was difficult to fidget with because rather than having a simple component, the component spit out the correct x, y axes translation that would need to be worked into the component's CSS. No bueno. I attempted to jerry-rig this package for two days before giving up and switching to react-svg-pan-zoom, which worked pretty much instantly and was exactly what I needed.
