| 4 | +[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yasgui-graph-plugin) |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +A YASGUI plugin for visualizing SPARQL CONSTRUCT query results as interactive graphs with nodes (subjects/objects) and edges (predicates). |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +## ✨ Features |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +- **🔷 Interactive Graph Visualization**: Automatic force-directed layout with smooth physics-based positioning |
| 11 | +- **🎨 Smart Color Coding**: |
| 12 | + - 🔵 Blue = URIs |
| 13 | + - 🟢 Green = rdf:type objects (classes) |
| 14 | + - 🔘 Grey = Literals |
| 15 | + - 🟡 Yellow = Blank nodes |
| 16 | +- **🔍 Navigation**: Mouse wheel zoom, drag to pan, "Zoom to Fit" button |
| 17 | +- **✋ Drag & Drop**: Reorganize nodes by dragging them to new positions |
| 18 | +- **💬 Tooltips**: Hover for full URI/literal details (300ms delay) |
| 19 | +- **📸 Export**: Save current viewport as PNG image |
| 20 | +- **⚡ Performance**: Handles up to 1,000 nodes with <2s render time |
| 21 | +- **♿ Accessible**: WCAG AA color contrast, keyboard navigation support |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +## 📦 Installation |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +### NPM |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +```bash |
| 28 | +npm install yasgui-graph-plugin @zazuko/yasgui vis-network |
| 29 | +``` |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +```javascript |

| 51 | + // Plugin auto-registers as 'graph' |
| 52 | + const yasgui = new Yasgui(document.getElementById('yasgui')); |
| 53 | +</script> |
| 54 | +``` |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +## 🚀 Quick Start |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +See the complete working example in [`demo/index.html`](./demo/index.html). |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +### Basic Usage |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +```javascript |
| 63 | +const yasgui = new Yasgui(document.getElementById('yasgui'), { |
| 64 | + requestConfig: { |
| 65 | + endpoint: 'https://dbpedia.org/sparql' |
| 66 | + } |
| 67 | +}); |
| 68 | +``` |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +### Sample CONSTRUCT Query |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +```sparql |
| 73 | +PREFIX ex: <http://example.org/> |
| 74 | +PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> |
| 75 | +
|
| 76 | +CONSTRUCT { |
| 77 | + ex:Alice rdf:type ex:Person . |
| 78 | + ex:Alice ex:knows ex:Bob . |
| 79 | + ex:Alice ex:name "Alice" . |
| 80 | + ex:Bob rdf:type ex:Person . |
| 81 | + ex:Bob ex:name "Bob" . |
| 82 | +} |
| 83 | +WHERE {} |
| 84 | +``` |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +After running the query, click the **"Graph"** tab to see the visualization. |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +## 🎮 User Guide |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +### Navigation |
| 91 | +- **Zoom**: Mouse wheel (scroll up = zoom in, scroll down = zoom out) |
| 92 | +- **Pan**: Click and drag the background |
| 93 | +- **Fit to View**: Click the "Zoom to Fit" button to center the entire graph |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +### Interaction |
| 96 | +- **Drag Nodes**: Click and drag any node to reposition it |
| 97 | +- **Tooltips**: Hover over nodes/edges for 300ms to see full details |
| 98 | +- **Export**: Click "Export PNG" to download the current viewport as an image |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +### Understanding Colors |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +| Color | Meaning | Example | |
| 103 | +|-------|---------|---------| |
| 104 | +| 🔵 Blue | URI nodes | `ex:Person`, `ex:Alice` | |
| 105 | +| 🟢 Green | rdf:type objects (classes) | `ex:Person` in `ex:Alice rdf:type ex:Person` | |
| 106 | +| 🔘 Grey | Literal values | `"Alice"`, `"30"^^xsd:integer` | |
| 107 | +| 🟡 Yellow | Blank nodes | `_:b1`, `_:addr1` | |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +## ⚙️ Configuration |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +The plugin uses sensible defaults but can be customized by extending the `GraphPlugin` class: |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +```javascript |
| 114 | +class CustomGraphPlugin extends GraphPlugin { |
| 115 | + constructor(yasr) { |
| 116 | + super(yasr); |
| 117 | + } |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | + // Override network options |
| 120 | + getNetworkOptions() { |
| 121 | + return { |
| 122 | + ...super.getNetworkOptions(), |
| 123 | + physics: { |
| 124 | + enabled: true, |
| 125 | + stabilization: { iterations: 100 } // Faster but less optimal layout |
| 126 | + } |
| 127 | + }; |
| 128 | + } |
| 129 | +} |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +Yasgui.Yasr.registerPlugin('customGraph', CustomGraphPlugin); |
| 132 | +``` |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +## 🔧 Development |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +### Build |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +```bash |
| 139 | +npm install |
| 140 | +npm run build |
| 141 | +``` |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +Output: `dist/yasgui-graph-plugin.min.js` |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +### Local Testing |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +1. Build the plugin: `npm run build` |
| 148 | +2. Open `example/index.html` in a browser |
| 149 | +3. Try the sample queries in different tabs |

| 194 | +- Follows the [yasgui-geo](https://github.com/zazuko/yasgui-geo) plugin pattern |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +## 📊 Project Status |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +**Current Version**: 0.1.0 (MVP) |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +**Implemented Features** (v0.1.0): |
| 201 | +- ✅ Basic graph visualization (US1) |
| 202 | +- ✅ Navigation controls (US2) |
| 203 | +- ✅ Export to PNG (US5) |
| 204 | +- ✅ Color-coded nodes |
| 205 | +- ✅ Prefix abbreviation |
| 206 | +- ✅ Blank node support |
| 207 | +- ✅ Performance optimization |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +**Planned Features** (Future): |
| 210 | +- ⏳ Enhanced tooltips with datatype display (US4) |
| 211 | +- ⏳ Manual testing across all browsers (US3 verification) |
| 212 | +- ⏳ Large graph optimization (>1k nodes) |
| 213 | +- ⏳ Custom color schemes |
| 214 | +- ⏳ Layout algorithm selection |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +## 🐛 Troubleshooting |
| 217 | + |
| 218 | +### Plugin tab not showing |
| 219 | +- Ensure query type is **CONSTRUCT** (not SELECT/ASK/DESCRIBE) |
| 220 | +- Check browser console for errors |
| 221 | +- Verify YASGUI version is ^4.0.0 |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +### Empty visualization |
| 224 | +- Confirm CONSTRUCT query returns triples (check "Table" or "Response" tab) |
| 225 | +- Verify results have subject/predicate/object structure |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +### Performance issues |
| 228 | +- Limit results to <1000 nodes for best performance |
| 229 | +- Disable physics after initial layout (automatic) |
| 230 | +- Consider using LIMIT clause in SPARQL query |
| 231 | + |

| 233 | + |
| 234 | +## 🛠️ Development |
| 235 | + |
| 236 | +### Setup |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +```bash |
| 239 | +git clone https://github.com/yourusername/yasgui-graph-plugin.git |
| 240 | +cd yasgui-graph-plugin |
| 241 | +npm install |
| 242 | +``` |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +### Dev Workflow (Live Reload) |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +The project supports **live development** - edit source files and see changes immediately without rebuilding: |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +1. **Start a local dev server** (any HTTP server will work): |
| 249 | + ```bash |
| 250 | + # Using Python |
| 251 | + python -m http.server 8000 |
| 252 | + |
| 253 | + # Using Node.js (http-server) |
| 254 | + npx http-server -p 8000 |
| 255 | + |
| 256 | + # Using VS Code Live Server extension |
| 257 | + # Right-click demo/index.html → "Open with Live Server" |
| 258 | + ``` |
| 259 | + |
| 260 | +2. **Open demo in browser**: |
| 261 | + ``` |
| 262 | + http://localhost:8000/demo/index.html |
| 263 | + ``` |
| 264 | + |
| 265 | +3. **Edit source files** (e.g., `src/colorUtils.js`): |
| 266 | + ```javascript |
| 267 | + export function getNodeColor(node) { |
| 268 | + // Change colors here |
| 269 | + if (node.isBlankNode) return '#FF00FF'; // Magenta |
| 270 | + // ... |
| 271 | + } |
| 272 | + ``` |
| 273 | + |
| 274 | +4. **Refresh browser** - changes appear immediately! ⚡ |
| 275 | + |
| 276 | +The demo automatically loads ES modules directly from `src/` in development mode, so no rebuild is needed. |
| 277 | + |
| 278 | +### Production Build |
| 279 | + |
| 280 | +Build the minified UMD bundle for distribution: |
| 281 | + |
| 282 | +```bash |
| 283 | +npm run build |
| 284 | +``` |
| 285 | + |
| 286 | +Output: `dist/yasgui-graph-plugin.min.js` (bundled with vis-network) |
| 287 | + |
| 288 | +### Testing |
| 289 | + |
| 290 | +```bash |
| 291 | +npm test # Run all tests |
| 292 | +npm run lint # Check code style |
| 293 | +npm run format # Auto-fix formatting |
| 294 | +``` |
