Add support for self-referencing links #35

Open frostyfan109 opened 5 years ago

frostyfan109 commented 5 years ago

Some links in the schema (and likely normal graphs) are self-referencing, that is, their sources and targets are the same node. For example, microRNA has a self-referencing link: microRNA -> regulates -> microRNA. At the current moment, these links are not rendered.

Solutions:

react-force-graph has support for self-referencing links, we should try to use them if possible.

We can't use the self-referencing links natively supported by react-force-graph because that requires link curvature, which requires the links to be a width of one, which makes them very difficult to see. We'll have to find some different solution.
