react-tagcloud

Simple and extensible tag/word cloud React component.

See the demo.

Installation

npm install react-tagcloud

# or with yarn
yarn add react-tagcloud

# react < 16.8.0
npm install react-tagcloud@1.4

Basic usage

import { TagCloud } from 'react-tagcloud'

const data = [
  { value: 'JavaScript', count: 38 },
  { value: 'React', count: 30 },
  { value: 'Nodejs', count: 28 },
  { value: 'Express.js', count: 25 },
  { value: 'HTML5', count: 33 },
  { value: 'MongoDB', count: 18 },
  { value: 'CSS3', count: 20 },
]

const SimpleCloud = () => (
  <TagCloud
    minSize={12}
    maxSize={35}
    tags={data}
    onClick={tag => alert(`'${tag.value}' was selected!`)}
  />
)

React Native

In react native projects import tag cloud from the package relative path react-tagcloud/rn.

import React from 'react';

import { Alert } from 'react-native';
import { TagCloud } from 'react-tagcloud/rn'

const data = [
  // ...
]

const SimpleCloud = () => (
  <TagCloud
    minSize={12}
    maxSize={35}
    tags={data}
    onPress={tag => Alert.alert(`'${tag.value}' was selected!`)}
  />
)

API

Options

<TagCloud /> component has props listed below:

Option	Type	Required	Note
tags	Array	true	Array of objects that represent tags (see Tag object)
maxSize	Number	true	Maximal font size (in px) used in cloud
minSize	Number	true	Minimal font size (in px) used in cloud
shuffle	Boolean	false	If true, tags are shuffled. When tags are modified, cloud is re-shuffled. Default: true
colorOptions	Object	false	Random color options (see randomColor#options)
disableRandomColor	Boolean	false	If true, random color is not used
randomSeed	Number	false	Random seed used to shuffle tags and generate color
renderer	Function	false	Function used to render tag
randomNumberGenerator	Function	false	DEPRECATED, use randomSeed instead. Specifies a custom random number generator that is being used by shuffle algorithm. Default: Math.random

Note: Furthermore you can pass any other prop and it will be forwarded to the wrapping <div /> component (e.g. style, className).

Tag object

Each tag is represented by object literal having following properties:

Property	Type	Required	Note
value	String	true	String value to be displayed
count	Number	true	Represents frequency of the tag that is used to calculate tag size
key	String	false	Tag element key. If it is not provided, value property will be used instead (however it can fail if you don't have unique tag values. It is highly recommeded to use key property)
color	String	false	Represents color of the tag. If it is not provided, random color will be used instead
props	Object	false	Props to be passed to a particular tag component

Events

Event handlers can be passed to the <TagCloud /> props. Each handler has two arguments: the first is related tag object and the second is DOM event object.

Currently supported events: onClick, onDoubleClick, onMouseMove

Note: Feel free to open issue if any other event is needed.

Styles

Default class names are tag-cloud for the wrapping container, and tag-cloud-tag for a particular tag. Styles passed to <TagCloud /> props will be applied to the wrapping container.

Renderer

Rendering of tags can be fully customized by providing custom render function and passing it to the renderer prop. By default is used defaultRenderer. Render function has three arguments - tag, size and color. For example:

import { TagCloud } from 'react-tagcloud'

const customRenderer = (tag, size, color) => {
  return (
    <span key={tag.value} style={{ color }} className={`tag-${size}`}>
      {tag.value}
    </span>
  )
}

const CustomizedCloud = () => (
  <TagCloud tags={data} minSize={1} maxSize={5} renderer={customRenderer} />
)
