react-vis VS GoJS, a JavaScript Library for HTML Diagrams

Install react-vis by using the following command:

I've heard good things about Uber's react-vis https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-vis

D3.js is great for custom data viz. You can get started by including the library in a script tag and not have to mess around with a bundler like Webpack until you are ready and just use plane CSS. D3.js doesn't work well with JS frameworks like React - it was jQuery like DOM manipulation functions. I find the best approach is to let D3 manage its chart and leave React for the UI. Or you can use a more React friendly library like React Viz from Uber. While D3 is great for custom data viz it's time consuming for standard charts. There are a lot of charting libraries out there like Chart.js. There is also Plot which is built on D3.js.

React Vis averages 100,000+ weekly downloads, 8.3k stars and 850 forks on Github.

react-vis

I am trying to use react-vis library in my project. In their readme file, they have asked to import library by adding following lines in non-node environment:

I had an existing working react code written in Typescript (and hence ES6) using react-vis library. The library itself seem to use ES6.

I have referenced react-vis library form unpkg as stated in their github repo:

The repository can be found here and is definitely worth taking a look.

Well I make https://gojs.net, so I just use the GoJS diagramming library to make diagrams :D

Of course, its made for developers trying to make applications, not end users.

My library (https://gojs.net) can do that easily. Give it a look, and if you think the price is acceptable for your project, contact us and we can make you a proof-of-concept.

Have spent six figures yearly on ads, mostly for reach for the developer-focused diagram library GoJS (https://gojs.net)

> Each experiment will need ~$500 and 2 weeks

I would add a zero if you want serious data. I would also double the timescale. $5,000 over 4 weeks

I second the uselessness of Google Display, it might look like conversions numbers are good but they are 100% too good to be true. As soon as you look into them you find the sources are things like "ad from HappyFunBabyTime Android app". You have to ruthlessly prune daily for months to get anything real, and even then I'm skeptical of value. For a developer tool with very strict conversion metrics!

But I disagree on Google Search:

> Good for conversion, bad for awareness.

Before we were popular it was excellent for awareness. Post popularity its much more arguable.

Creating the Halogen components would be simple enough if one takes inspiration from gojs-react. The issue is that there are no PureScript bindings for the GoJS types themselves, but GoJS does provide .ts.d declarations, which means I could use purescript-read-dts, but that library's maturity/usability seems somewhat ambiguous, according to an author's post from 3 years ago.

used goJS in one project and konva in another

I built GoJS, which is one of the most popular commercial JS diagramming libraries: https://gojs.net

I built carefulwords, a very fast thesaurus and quote site for inspiration, used by... tens of people a day. Eg: https://carefulwords.com/gift https://carefulwords.com/solitude

I mostly made it for myself, me and my wife use it all the time. I am slowly editing down the thesaurus to managable size.

I built a 12x16 "Goose Palace" barn out of local pine timbers, which taught me timber framing, and taught my tiny baby who turned 2 years old while doing it that this is just the kind of thing that people normally do, build barns in their driveway. Some context: https://simonsarris.substack.com/p/the-goose-palace

Some photos of building it with the baby: https://twitter.com/simonsarris/status/1584169368203956225

I designed my house, and have been writing extensively about that. Maybe this is the most impactful, since photos of it are all over Pinterest and other sites, now. The first post on that: https://simonsarris.substack.com/p/designing-a-new-old-home-...

I am not sure what is most impactful. Maybe ultimately it is building my family.

I made a pull request for GoJS (https://gojs.net)

I have been building this canvas-based graphing library since 2011, and it contains a good number of features around customization and interactivity that are not found in other libraries. It is commercial for non-academic use however.

in one project we use konva, in another we used gojs. Any of them or some other library needs some training and introduce own limitations but it still way way way better than handing all the coordinates, calculations, routing etc on your own.
