emitParticle support? #14

Closed arondeparon closed 4 years ago

arondeparon commented 4 years ago

Is there a specific reason why the 2d and 3d variants have support for emitParticle(), while this one does not?

This would be a really nice addition to generate more real-time visualizations.

@ArondeParon thanks for reaching out. emitParticle is not supported in the VR variant due to a technicality with the data communication through aframe. Due to the manner in which props are injected to the aframe component they have to be cloned rather than referenced. This makes the link object references not match when looking for that particular item in the graphData structure internal to three-forcegraph.

This is the reason why that functionality was excluded from this module. You can see the removal commit here: https://github.com/vasturiano/3d-force-graph-vr/commit/d81215644a424bdc95af49affd4d96ab16d6b520

Ah that is too bad. Thanks for the explanation!
