FAQ

Should I use G6Lite or G6 v5?

Choose G6Lite when WebGL rendering, frequent state updates, and a smaller controlled capability surface match the product. Choose G6 v5 when the complete plugin, animation, and element ecosystem matters more.

Why is first render slow with a force layout?

Layout computation often dominates first render. Reuse existing coordinates, control iterations, use a worker, or choose a deterministic layout. Measure with the repository Benchmark runner.

Can G6Lite run during SSR?

No. It needs a real DOM canvas and WebGL context. Instantiate Graph in a client-only lifecycle such as React useEffect.

Where do TypeScript types come from?

Import values and types from @antv/g6-lite. Deep src/ paths are not public API.

Are combos stable?

Combo rendering is available, but collapse, nesting, and runtime regrouping remain experimental in 0.1.x.
