react-ontology-ribbon

A React component for generating a heatmap type display for ontology slims.

Description

This component generates a heatmap display (ribbon) for ontology term summaries (slims). It was designed for summarizing Gene Ontology terms, but it can be used with any ontology.

Getting started

In your React project, add @flybase/react-ontology-ribbon via npm/yarn.

npm install @flybase/react-ontology-ribbon

yarn add @flybase/react-ontology-ribbon

Then you can use it in a React component such as.

import React from 'react';
import {render} from 'react-dom';

import Ribbon from '@flybase/react-ontology-ribbon';
import '@flybase/react-ontology-ribbon/style.css';

const MyRibbon = () => {
    const goData = [
        { id: 'GO:12345',
        name: 'a_go_slim_term_name',
        descendant_terms: [
          { id: 'GO:33333', name:'a_descendant_term_1'},
          { id: 'GO:33334', name:'a_descendant_term_2'},
          { id: 'GO:33335', name:'a_descendant_term_3'},
        ]
        }
    ]; 
    return (
      <div>
        <Ribbon data={goData} />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

render(<MyRibbon />, document.querySelector('#root'));

Properties

The Ribbon component takes the following properties.

Name	Description	Type	Default
data	The slim terms (see below)	Array of objects
heatLevels	The number of gradients to use in the heatmap	number	8
baseRGB	The RGB values that the gradient is based on.	Array of RGB numbers	[0,96,96]
noResults	Content to display if no data is supplied	String or custom component
title	Label to appear underneath the ribbon	String or custom component
onTermClick	Callback called when the term is clicked	Function
calcHeatColor	A function to override the default heat color calculation.	Function
itemTitle	A function to generate a custom title for each ribbon item.	Function	Term name: Number of terms

onTermClick callback

This callback is called when the block or text label for the block is clicked. It is passed the object that represents the slim term as the first argument and the event object as the second.

const handleOnClick = (term, evt) => {
  console.log("Term ID " + term.id);
  console.log("Term name " + term.name);
  console.log("# Descendant terms " + term.descendant_terms.length);
}

Then you can add it to your ribbon.

<Ribbon data={mydata} onTermClick={handleOnClick} />

calcHeatColor

The property calcHeatColor can be used to pass in a custom function that will be used to calculate the color for the ribbon cell. The function is passed an object with 4 key variables: numTerms, baseRGB, heatLevels, itemData.

Name	Description	Type
numTerms	The number of descendant terms for this item.	number
baseRGB	The baseRGB value currently set.	Array of RGB numbers
heatLevels	The heatLevels currently set.	number
itemData	The data for the current item being drawn	Object

const customColorCalculation = ({numTerms, baseRGB, heatLevels, itemData }) => {
  if (itemData.name === 'reproduction') {
    return [120,120,120]
  }
  else if (numTerms > 5) {
    return [0,0,0]
  }
  return [255,255,255]
}

itemTitle

In order to disable the item title attribute, pass a function that returns an empty string or null.

  <Ribbon
    title="my title 3"
    data={SampleData}
    heatLevel={20}
    baseRGB={[153,0,0]}
    onTermClick={this.handleOnClick}
    itemTitle={() => null}
  />

Data object structure.

The data property takes an array of objects that describes the ontology slim that we are generating a ribbon for. Each object has 3 properties, an id, a name, and descendant_terms. The first two properties are strings while descendant_terms is an array of terms contained by this slim term. The objects in the descendant_terms array must contain an id and name field as well.

e.g.

[
  {
    "id": "GO:0023052",
    "name": "signaling",
    "descendant_terms": [
      {
        "id": "GO:0007179",
        "name": "transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway"
      },
      {
        "id": "GO:0030509",
        "name": "BMP signaling pathway"
      },
      {
        "id": "GO:0061353",
        "name": "BMP signaling pathway involved in Malpighian tubule cell chemotaxis"
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "id": "GO:0019538",
    "name": "protein metabolism",
    "descendant_terms": []
  },
  {
    "id": "GO:0050896",
    "name": "response to stimulus",
    "descendant_terms": [
      {
       "id": "GO:0016055",
       "name": "Wnt signaling pathway"
      }
    ]
  }
]
