Simple Org Chart for React

See the example project for demonstration of creating org chart data structure and using the OrgChart component.

This project focuses on the simplicity of its api.

Installation: Import Javascript and CSS

import OrgChart from 'react-orgchart';
import 'react-orgchart/index.css';

Step 1: Create the org chart tree as an object literal.

The children property of each node are rendered as children nodes.

const initechOrg = {
  name: "Bill Lumbergh",
  actor: "Gary Cole",
  children: [
    {
      name: "Peter Gibbons",
      actor: "Ron Livingston",
      children: [
        {
          name: "And More!!",
          actor: "This is just to show how to build a complex tree with multiple levels of children. Enjoy!"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      name: "Milton Waddams",
      actor: "Stephen Root"
    },
    {
      name: "Bob Slydell",
      actor: "John C. McGi..."
    },
  ]
};

Step 2: Define a React Component for the nodes which receives each node object literal as a prop.

You can easily add functionality as you see fit to this node component. Pass down necessary data through the tree structure outlined above.

const MyNodeComponent = ({node}) => {
  return (
    <div className="initechNode" onClick={() => alert("Hi my real name is: " + node.actor)}>{ node.name }</div>
  );
};

Final Step: Add the OrgChart component to your app.

<OrgChart tree={initechOrg} NodeComponent={MyNodeComponent} />

Additionally, you may want to style your org chart.

See Example project stylesheet for ideas.

Customizing Styles

Simple wrap your org chart in a div with an id and define styles like this:

.initechNode {
    border: solid 3px red;
    border-radius: 3px;
    padding: 5px;
    width: 150px;
    display: inline-block;
}

#initechOrgChart .orgNodeChildGroup .nodeGroupLineVerticalMiddle {
    border-right: solid 3px red
}

#initechOrgChart .nodeLineBorderTop {
    border-top: solid 3px red;
}
