Function default

An ExternalBrain projects thought process onto a knowledge graph.

The module is composed of and depends on 2 modules:

1. Editor
2. messier-61-graph!Graph

The two modules shares a single state of

const [graphData, setGraphData] = useState<GraphData>({
  nodes: [],
  links: [],
});

which is an instance of messier-61-graph!GraphData. The state is used in a way almost identical to the standard React approach. The difference, however, is that the change of state inside Editor triggers a Graph state change (i.e. redrawing graph), but NOT vice versa. This is based on the assumption that the external input to our brain affects our through process; but our internal thought process never directly mutates the outside world

The state variable graphData's state value is passed into messier-61-graph!Graph Graph module and its set function is passed into the Editor module

Returns

a component whose left side is the Editor and the right side is the corresponding
Graph knowledge graph

See

Editor for how the state variable graphData gets
