Force update animation about react-move

[sghall]

Hey, yeah, totally doable.

React-move is listening for your data to change:

https://github.com/react-tools/react-move/blob/999927532ca5be90fc8a54656c41fa2d9b8848eb/src/NodeGroup/NodeGroup.js#L58

So just send a new data array with the new layout when you want to update. For what you're trying to do, I wouldn't use the scales directly in NodeGroup component like the example. Do all the calculation outside and pass it in. If the data values change update your array...if the browser size changes update your array.

Ok, but what about animate an svg path?
Can I animate directly the d attribute passing a new, precomputed d path?

Sure. Absolutely. The value you are interpolating just gets handed off to d3-interpolate.

If the name of your key is "transform" it is interpolated as an SVG tranform:
https://github.com/d3/d3-interpolate#interpolateTransformSvg

Otherwise it goes to interpolate:
https://github.com/d3/d3-interpolate#interpolate

So if your value is a string path it will get interpolated by:
https://github.com/d3/d3-interpolate/blob/master/README.md#interpolateString

Which looks for number inside strings and interpolates them.

Great thanks for the info.
