Graphlib is a JavaScript library for creating and modifying directed and undirected graphs. In addition to a core graph API, it also comes with implementations for many common graph algorithms.

Example

This following code block shows a small example of how to use graphlib in node.js:

var Graph = require("graphlib").Graph;

// Create a new directed graph
var g = new Graph();

// Add node "a" to the graph with no label
g.setNode("a");

g.hasNode("a");
// => true

// Add node "b" to the graph with a String label
g.setNode("b", "b's value");

// Get the label for node b
g.node("b");
// => "b's value"

// Add node "c" to the graph with an Object label
g.setNode("c", { k: 123 });

// What nodes are in the graph?
g.nodes();
// => `[ 'a', 'b', 'c' ]`

// Add a directed edge from "a" to "b", but assign no label
g.setEdge("a", "b");

// Add a directed edge from "c" to "d" with an Object label.
// Since "d" did not exist prior to this call it is automatically
// created with an undefined label.
g.setEdge("c", "d", { k: 456 });

// What edges are in the graph?
g.edges();
// => `[ { v: 'a', w: 'b' },
//       { v: 'c', w: 'd' } ]`.

// Which edges leave node "a"?
g.outEdges("a");
// => `[ { v: 'a', w: 'b' } ]`

// Which edges enter and leave node "d"?
g.nodeEdges("d");
// => `[ { v: 'c', w: 'd' } ]`

or graphlib can be included in a webpage:

<script src="http://PATH/TO/graphlib.min.js"></script>
 <script>
var g = new graphlib.Graph();
// ...etc.

Installing

NPM Install

Before installing this library you need to install the npm package manager.

To get graphlib from npm, use:

$ npm install graphlib

Bower Install

You can install graphlib with bower using the following command:

$ bower install graphlib

Browser Scripts

You can get the latest browser-ready scripts:

• graphlib.js
• graphlib.min.js

You can also get the scripts for a particular version. For example, to get v2.1.2:

• graphlib.js
• graphlib.min.js

Look at the releases page to find a list of versions.

Source Build

Before building this library you need to install the npm package manager.

Check out this project and run this command from the root of the project:

$ make dist

This will generate graphlib.js and graphlib.min.js in the dist directory of the project.
