Link distance only being called a few times.

[hvent90]

I'm not 100% sure if this is a bug.

myCoolForceGraph.d3Force('link', d3.forceLink().distance(() => console.log('test'));

test only gets logged a few times. I have confirmed that the simulation is running, including reheating the simulation.

Am I misunderstanding something? I am trying to change the line distance during runtime via a button click.

Thanks for the wonderful library :) It's hard to overstate just how large of value this is providing to me, for free no less.

Have a great day.

@hvent90 thanks for reaching out.

This is the expected behaviour as mentioned in the d3-force link distance docs:

The distance accessor is invoked for each link, being passed the link and its zero-based index. The resulting number is then stored internally, such that the distance of each link is only recomputed when the force is initialized or when this method is called with a new distance, and not on every application of the force.
