I found a similar question, but did not understand any of the answers (and the question was omitted) So, I go:
I'm trying to use a library built on D3 called Greuler to dynamically render charts. The npm package seems broken for him. When I turned off the Greuler CDN, the test chart inside my index.html finally worked.
However, I am working on a React application and want the graph to be displayed from the React component. Here the problem arises: the response component does not use the Greuler CDN scripts that are in my index.html, and I tried several ways to run scripts inside my component, but nothing works.
Two main mistakes:
error 'greuler' is not defined (in my component)
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getAttribute' of null (in code D3)
My working .html index, with a hard-coded graph, looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>

My last desperate attempt at a render function in a component looks like this:
render() {
return (
<div class="row" id="demo">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/d3/3.5.6/d3.js"></script>
<script src="http://marvl.infotech.monash.edu/webcola/cola.v3.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://maurizzzio.imtqy.com/greuler/greuler.min.js"></script>
{
greuler({
target: '#demo',
width: 480,
height: 500,
data: {
nodes: [
{id: 0, label: "E1Def3", r: 25},
{id: 1, label: "E1P4", r: 15},
{id: 2, label: "E1P2", r: 15},
{id: 3, label: "E1P1", r: 15},
{id: 4, label: "E1P5", r: 15},
{id: 5, label: "E1P6", r: 25}
],
links: [
{source: 0, target: 1, directed: true},
{source: 0, target: 2, directed: true},
{source: 0, target: 3, directed: true},
{source: 1, target: 4, directed: true},
{source: 2, target: 5, directed: true},
{source: 3, target: 4, directed: true},
{source: 4, target: 5, directed: true}
]
}
}).update()
}
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
