NetworkX.rb

NetworkX is a very popular Python library, that handles various use-cases of the Graph Data Structure. This project intends to provide a working alternative to the Ruby community, by closely mimicing as many features as possible.

This project has begun just now, and a v0.1.0 release with basic Graph classes can be expected by January 2018.

  • Install networkx gem with rake install
  • Start checking out in PRY / IRB console : 
require 'networkx'
#=> true

# Yet to be implemented
g = NetworkX::Graph.new()
g.add_edge('start', 'stop')

Roadmap

(Back to top)

Quite easily, any networkx user would be able to understand the number of details that have been implemented in the Python library. As a humble start towards the release of v0.1.0, the following could be the goals to achieve :

  • Node : This class should be capable of handling different types of nodes (not just String / Integer). A possible complex use-case could be XML nodes.

  • Edge : This class should be capable of handling different types of edges. Though a basic undirected Graph doesn't store any metadata in the edges, weighted edges and parametric edges are something that need to be handled.

  • Graph : The simplest of graphs. This class handles just connections between different Nodes via Edges.

  • DirectedGraph : Inherits from Graph class. Uses directions between Edges.
