Migration guide from Kedro-Viz 2.*.* to Kedro-Viz 3.0.0

If you are just using Kedro-Viz with Kedro as a Python package, you won't need to do anything. The breaking changes in this release only affect the few users who are working on the application locally, or importing it from npm and consuming it as a React component.

• The format for data passed to Kedro-Viz has changed. You can see examples of the new data format in the src/utils/data directory. The main change is that the format no longer supports multiple snapshots in a single dataset. Instead of this:

  {
    snapshots: [
      {
        schema_id: '310750827599783',
        nodes: [...],
        edges: [...],
        tags: [...],
      },
      ...
    ]
  }
  

  You can now use something like this:

  {
    nodes: [...],
    edges: [...],
    tags: [...],
  }
  

• The showHistory, allowHistoryDeletion, and onDeleteSnapshot props on the main App component have been deprecated. These no longer do anything, and can be removed.
• A new parameters value for the node type property has been created. This replaces the previous is_parameters Boolean property. To migrate previous data, find any nodes where is_parameters: true, and change the type value from data to parameters. e.g. from this:

  {
    tags: ['Nulla', 'pulvinar', 'enim', 'consectetur', 'volutpat'],
    id: 'task/consectetur',
    is_parameters: false,
    type: 'task',
    full_name: 'consectetur',
    name: 'consectetur'
  }
  

  to this:

  {
    tags: ['Nulla', 'pulvinar', 'enim', 'consectetur', 'volutpat'],
    id: 'task/consectetur',
    type: 'parameters',
    full_name: 'consectetur',
    name: 'consectetur'
  }

Release 2.0.0:

Major features and improvements

• BREAKING CHANGE: Refactor the JSON data input API. The new format is more verbose, but is very extensible, and will allow us to add more metadata about each node, edge and tag in future (#2, #8, #21, #23)
• Calculate transitive links when a chart is rendered, rather than when the initial data is formatted (#8)

Bug fixes and other changes

• Run extra checks (e.g. tests, linter, build & lib) before publishing to npm (#12)
• Document the --host command line flag in the readme (#14)
• Add a CODEOWNERS file (#15)
• Update Flask caching so that only static assets are cached forever (#17)

• Fix broken Python version badge in Readme (#18)
• Add CI status badges in Readme (#19)
• Add Appveyor configuration (#19)

Migration guide from Kedro-Viz 1.*.* to Kedro-Viz 2.0.0

• The data input format has been significantly changed. This will only affect users of the JavaScript package - regular Kedro users will not be affected. To see examples of the old API format compares to the new one, see the changes to data.mock.js in this commit.
