Unable to use React components within the node HTML

[PeterBowater]

HI Pierre,

Was hoping you could shed some light here. In the demo code you have this for the renderNode parameter of the TreeViz call:

renderNode={(node) =>
<div style="height:${node.settings.nodeHeight}px;display:flex;align-items:center;margin-left:12px">Node name: ${node.data.text_1}</div>
}

Is there an accepted way to return a React component rather than constructing bare HTML?

If not, do you think it is possible it could be updated to do so?

Thanks very much,

Peter.

Hello Peter, I realized yesterday that the treeviz-react wrapper is really broken.
I really don't have time to fix it in the incoming weeks sadly, but I think maybe google how to wrap a VanillaJs component in a react app, because the vanilla treeviz module should work smoothly

OK thanks Pierre, not to worry.

We'll explore other ways of incorporating, I'm sure we can work something out. If viable, I expect we will share it back to you if you wanted?

Thanks,

Peter

Oh that would be awesome, please do @PeterBowater 😀

Hey Guys! Did you find a solution for this or not yet? @PeterBowater @PierreCapo Is there a way to insert a React component like a Material ui icon to html template? For example something like this: result = <div style="height:${node.settings.nodeHeight}px;display:flex;align-items:center;margin-left:12px">Node name: ${node.data.text_1}${<Icon/>}</div>

I found a solution for this problem. You have to import { renderToString } from "react-dom/server". After this you can create a constant for your component: const icon = renderToString(<AddIcon />);. And then you can use it in your HTML: ${icon}. Made an example in codesandbox if you would like to try. https://codesandbox.io/s/lingering-browser-iiqud?file=/src/App.js:526-570
