Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@inputless/visualization

Graph visualization package for the Inputless Analytics SDK using Sigma.js.

Purpose

Provides interactive graph visualization capabilities for displaying behavioral analytics data from Neo4j, enabling visual exploration of:

  • User journey patterns
  • Event correlations and relationships
  • Behavioral pattern networks
  • Graph RAG query results
  • Anomaly detection visualizations
  • Natural language querying via chat interface (like Cursor AI)

Why Sigma.js?

Sigma.js is the ideal choice for graph visualization in the Inputless SDK because:

  1. Performance: Handles large graphs (10,000+ nodes) with smooth rendering
  2. WebGL Rendering: Hardware-accelerated graphics for interactive experiences
  3. Flexibility: Rich plugin ecosystem and customization options
  4. TypeScript Support: Full TypeScript definitions included
  5. React Integration: Works seamlessly with React components
  6. Layout Algorithms: Built-in support for force-directed and other layout algorithms

Features

Example 1: Basic Local Graph Visualization (No Backend)

Create and visualize graph data locally without a backend:

import { GraphVisualization } from '@inputless/visualization';
import type { Node, Edge } from '@inputless/visualization';

// Create local graph data (no backend required)
const nodes: Node[] = [
  { 
    id: '1', 
    label: 'User A', 
    type: 'User',
    color: '#3498db',
    size: 20,
    x: 100,
    y: 100,
    attributes: {
      name: 'John',
      age: 30,
    },
  },
  { id: '2', label: 'Event X', type: 'Event', color: '#e74c3c', size: 15 },
  { id: '3', label: 'Page Y', type: 'Page', color: '#2ecc71', size: 15 },
];

const edges: Edge[] = [
  { 
    id: 'e1', 
    source: '1',
    target: '2',
    label: 'PERFORMED',
    color: '#3498db',
    size: 2,
    attributes: {
      timestamp: Date.now(),
    },
  },
  { id: 'e2', source: '2', target: '3', label: 'HAPPENED_ON', color: '#2ecc71' },
];

// Render graph visualization
<GraphVisualization
  nodes={nodes}
  edges={edges}
  height={600}
  width="100%"
/>

Example 2: Converting Neo4j Data Locally (No Backend)

Convert Neo4j data format to visualization format locally:

import { sigmaAdapter, GraphVisualization } from '@inputless/visualization';
import type { Neo4jGraphData } from '@inputless/visualization';

// Neo4j data format
const neo4jData: Neo4jGraphData = {
  nodes: [
    { 
      id: '1', 
      labels: ['User'],
      properties: {
        name: 'John',
        age: 30,
      },
      identity: 1,
    },
    { 
      id: '2', 
      labels: ['Event'], 
      properties: { type: 'click', timestamp: 1234567890 },
    },
  ],
  relationships: [
    { 
      type: 'PERFORMED',
      start: '1',
      end: '2',
      properties: {
        timestamp: 1234567890,
      },
    },
  ],
};

// Convert Neo4j data to Sigma.js format
const graphData = sigmaAdapter(neo4jData);
// Returns: { 
//   nodes: [{ id: '1', label: 'John', type: 'User', color: '#3498db', ... }, ...],
//   edges: [{ id: 'e1', source: '1', target: '2', label: 'PERFORMED', ... }]
// }

// Render visualization
<GraphVisualization
  nodes={graphData.nodes}
  edges={graphData.edges}
  height={600}
  width="100%"
/>

Example 3: Using Graphology for Layout Algorithms (Local Only)

Convert graph data to Graphology format for layout algorithms:

import { graphologyAdapter, graphologyToGraphData, GraphVisualization } from '@inputless/visualization';
import type { GraphData } from '@inputless/visualization';
import Graph from 'graphology';

// Local graph data
const graphData: GraphData = {
  nodes: [
    { id: '1', label: 'User A', type: 'User', x: 0, y: 0 },
    { id: '2', label: 'Event X', type: 'Event', x: 100, y: 100 },
  ],
  edges: [
    { id: 'e1', source: '1', target: '2', label: 'PERFORMED' },
  ],
};

// Convert to Graphology Graph
const graphologyGraph: Graph = graphologyAdapter(graphData);

// Apply layout algorithm (e.g., force-directed) using Graphology
// Note: Layout algorithms are placeholders
// Full implementation coming soon

// Convert back to GraphData
const updatedGraphData = graphologyToGraphData(graphologyGraph);

// Render visualization
<GraphVisualization
  nodes={updatedGraphData.nodes}
  edges={updatedGraphData.edges}
  height={600}
  width="100%"
/>

Layout Algorithms

Sigma.js supports various layout algorithms for different visualization needs:

Force-Directed Layout

  • Use Case: General network visualization
  • Best for: Discovering communities and relationships
  • Performance: Good for < 1000 nodes

Circular Layout

  • Use Case: Hierarchical or sequential data
  • Best for: User journeys, event sequences
  • Performance: Excellent for any graph size

Grid Layout

  • Use Case: Organized, structured data
  • Best for: Categorical relationships
  • Performance: Excellent for any graph size

Hierarchical Layout

  • Use Case: Parent-child relationships
  • Best for: Taxonomy, organizational structures
  • Performance: Good for < 500 nodes

The ChatInterface component provides a sidebar chat interface for querying Neo4j using natural language. This is fully implemented and tested:

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { ChatInterface, GraphVisualization } from '@inputless/visualization';
import type { Node, Edge, ChatInterfaceProps } from '@inputless/visualization';

function App() {
  const [graphData, setGraphData] = useState<{ nodes: Node[]; edges: Edge[] } | null>(null);

  return (
    <div style={{ display: 'flex', height: '100vh' }}>
      {/* Main graph view */}
      <div style={{ flex: 1 }}>
        {graphData ? (
          <GraphVisualization 
            nodes={graphData.nodes} 
            edges={graphData.edges}
            height="100%"
            width="100%"
          />
        ) : (
          <div>Start a conversation to see graph results</div>
        )}
      </div>

      {/* Chat interface */}
      <ChatInterface
        config={{
          apiEndpoint: 'https://api.example.com/graph/query',
          apiKey: process.env.REACT_APP_API_KEY,
          enableGraphVisualization: true,
          autoScroll: true,
          maxHistory: 50,
          placeholder: 'Ask a question about your graph...',
        }}
        position="right"
        width={400}
        showGraphInline={true}
        onGraphDataReceived={(nodes: Node[], edges: Edge[]) => {
          setGraphData({ nodes, edges });
        }}
        onMessageSent={(message) => {
          console.log('Message sent:', message);
        }}
        onError={(error) => {
          console.error('Chat error:', error);
        }}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Example 5: Using the Chat Hook (✅ Implemented)

For more control, use the useChatQuery hook:

import { useChatQuery, GraphVisualization } from '@inputless/visualization';
import type { ChatInterfaceConfig } from '@inputless/visualization';

function MyComponent() {
  const { 
    messages,        // ChatMessage[]
    sendQuery,       // (query: string) => Promise<void>
    clearMessages,   // () => void
    isLoading,      // boolean
    error,           // Error | null
    graphData,       // { nodes: Node[], edges: Edge[] } | null
  } = useChatQuery({
    apiEndpoint: 'https://api.example.com/graph/query',
    apiKey: 'your-api-key',
    enableGraphVisualization: true,
    autoScroll: true,
    maxHistory: 50,
    placeholder: 'Ask a question...',
    headers: {},
  });

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => sendQuery('Show me all users')}>
        Query Users
      </button>
      
      {isLoading && <div>Loading...</div>}
      {error && <div>Error: {error.message}</div>}
      
      {graphData && (
        <GraphVisualization
          nodes={graphData.nodes}
          edges={graphData.edges}
          height={600}
          width="100%"
        />
      )}
      
      <button onClick={clearMessages}>Clear Messages</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Example 6: Data Adapters - Converting Neo4j Data (Local Only)

      properties: {
        timestamp: 1234567890,
      },
    },
  ],
};

// Neo4j → Sigma.js format
const graphData = sigmaAdapter(neo4jData);
// Returns: { 
//   nodes: [{ id: '1', label: 'John', type: 'User', color: '#3498db', size: 15, ... }, ...],
//   edges: [{ id: 'e1', source: '1', target: '2', label: 'PERFORMED', color: '#3498db', ... }]

Improve accessibility with ARIA labels and keyboard navigation:

import {
  generateGraphAriaLabel,
  generateNodeAriaLabel,
  generateEdgeAriaLabel,
  calculateFocusOrder,
  isNavigationKey,
  KEYBOARD_KEYS,
} from '@inputless/visualization';
import type { Node, Edge } from '@inputless/visualization';

  { id: '2', label: 'Event X', type: 'Event', x: 200, y: 200 },
];
const edges: Edge[] = [
  { id: 'e1', source: '1', target: '2', label: 'PERFORMED' },
];

// Generate ARIA label for graph
const graphLabel = generateGraphAriaLabel(nodes.length, edges.length);
// Returns: "Graph visualization with 2 nodes and 1 edges. Use arrow keys to navigate, Enter to select nodes."

// Generate ARIA label for node
const nodeLabel = generateNodeAriaLabel(nodes[0]);
// Returns: "User John"

// Generate ARIA label for edge
const edgeLabel = generateEdgeAriaLabel(edges[0]);
// Returns: "Edge PERFORMED from 1 to 2"

// Calculate keyboard navigation order
const focusOrder = calculateFocusOrder(nodes);
// Returns: string[] - ['1', '2'] (node IDs sorted by position: top to bottom, left to right)

// Check if key is a navigation key
if (isNavigationKey(event.key)) {
  // Handle navigation
  switch (event.key) {
    case KEYBOARD_KEYS.ARROW_UP:
      // Navigate up
      break;
    case KEYBOARD_KEYS.ARROW_DOWN:
      // Navigate down
      break;
    case KEYBOARD_KEYS.ENTER:
      // Select node
      break;
  }
}

API Contract (Backend Implementation)

The chat interface expects the following API contract:

Endpoint: POST /graph/query

Request Body:

{
  query: string; // Natural language query
  context?: {
    messages?: ChatMessage[]; // Previous messages for context
    filters?: Record<string, unknown>;
    maxNodes?: number;
    maxEdges?: number;
  }
}

Response:

{
  message: string; // Response message
  graphData?: {
    nodes: Node[];
    edges: Edge[];
  };
  cypherQuery?: string; // Executed Cypher query (for debugging)
  error?: string; // Error message (if any)
  executionTime?: number; // Execution time in milliseconds
}

Example 12: Working with Graph Data Locally (No Backend)

Create and manipulate graph data entirely locally:

import { 
  GraphVisualization,
  filterNodes,
  getNodesByType,
  getEdgesByType,
  getNeighbors,
  calculateNodeDegree,
  calculateGraphStatistics,
  clusterNodes,
} from '@inputless/visualization';
import type { Node, Edge, GraphData } from '@inputless/visualization';

// Create local graph data
const graphData: GraphData = {
  nodes: [
    { id: '1', label: 'User A', type: 'User', color: '#3498db', size: 20, x: 100, y: 100 },
    { id: '2', label: 'Event X', type: 'Event', color: '#e74c3c', size: 15, x: 200, y: 200 },
    { id: '3', label: 'User B', type: 'User', color: '#3498db', size: 20, x: 300, y: 100 },
    { id: '4', label: 'Page Y', type: 'Page', color: '#2ecc71', size: 15, x: 200, y: 300 },
  ],
  edges: [
    { id: 'e1', source: '1', target: '2', label: 'PERFORMED', color: '#3498db' },
    { id: 'e2', source: '2', target: '4', label: 'HAPPENED_ON', color: '#2ecc71' },
    { id: 'e3', source: '3', target: '2', label: 'PERFORMED', color: '#3498db' },
  ],
};

// Filter and analyze locally
const userNodes = getNodesByType(graphData.nodes, 'User');
const performedEdges = getEdgesByType(graphData.edges, 'PERFORMED');

// Get neighbors
const neighbors = getNeighbors('1', graphData.edges);
console.log('Neighbors of node 1:', neighbors); // ['2']

// Calculate node degree
const degree = calculateNodeDegree('1', graphData.edges);
console.log('Degree of node 1:', degree); // 1

// Get graph statistics
const stats = calculateGraphStatistics(graphData);
console.log('Statistics:', {
  nodeCount: stats.nodeCount,
  edgeCount: stats.edgeCount,
  averageDegree: stats.averageDegree,
  nodeTypes: Object.fromEntries(stats.nodeTypes),
  edgeTypes: Object.fromEntries(stats.edgeTypes),
});

// Cluster nodes
const clusters = clusterNodes(graphData.nodes, graphData.edges, {
  minClusterSize: 2,
  maxClusterSize: 10,
  similarityThreshold: 0.5,
});
console.log('Clusters:', Object.fromEntries(clusters.clusters));

// Render visualization
<GraphVisualization
  nodes={graphData.nodes}
  edges={graphData.edges}
  height={600}
  width="100%"
/>
