Centering on a node when more nodes are added as children to that node.

[bsaranga]

Not a bug. But, say many adding child nodes are added to particular node dynamically, the force simulation makes the node fly away out of the visible area. I have tried to center on the node after the children have been added using the zoom options available, but the result isn't that good.

How do I lock in on the node when child nodes are being added to it?

@bsaranga thanks for reaching out.

You could try to look at this example (click to focus on node): https://vasturiano.github.io/react-force-graph/example/click-to-focus/

It includes some logic for pointing the camera at a node's position. This is assuming we're talking about the 3D mode. For the 2D mode it would be a different method.
