Custom widget to visualize records with references in a vis-network dynamic graph

Showcase

Hi all,

I worked on custom widget for a personal project of mine, thought it could be of interest for others.

I put the code here:

And a dumb example there: https://docs.getgrist.com/u5UZbdDZCXKY/Restaurant-Inventory-w-graph?utm_id=share-doc

It creates a graph from linked nodes. For now it works with a three column table: the first column contains names of tables. Each record in those tables becomes a node in the graph. The second column refers to a text column in the table that will serve as labels for the nodes. The third column is for a reference column. It is used to create the edges in the graph.

Use the dropdown menus to add nodes and refs, and click “update graph” to see the created graph.

Access denied! Would love to take a look at the example.

Sorry, wasn’t sure how to make this fully public. You can’t access with getgrist account ?

You just have to enable public access.

Ok, I thought I did this. It seems to work now.

The graph example is in the Graph_Table view. Click on Update graph and you should get this:

That works! You have to click “save” after turning on public access, which trips up many. Thank you for sharing.

This was working, but not anymore. Not sure if there was a change made in the interim. Does it work on your end?

Power outage, did not restart my server properly. It should work again now.

Hmm, still getting [Sandbox] KeyError '' in the console, though I’m not sure that’s on your end.

I see, the example was changed with empty and duplicate rows, which broke my (admitedly fragile :-/) implementation
