How to Build a Flight Network Analysis Graph-Based ASP.NET Application with Memgraph, C#, and D3.js
Blog post from Memgraph
This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on building a graph-based ASP.NET application for flight network analysis using Memgraph, C#, and D3.js, highlighting the advantages of graph databases for handling interconnected datasets. It begins by outlining prerequisites, including the installation of Memgraph DB, and guides users through importing a flight network dataset containing information about US airports and flights. The tutorial details the creation of an ASP.NET Core Web Application using Visual Studio 2019, the establishment of a database connection, and how to fetch and format data into a JSON-like structure compatible with D3.js. It then covers executing graph queries to retrieve origin and destination airports with flights between them, and visualizing the data using D3.js by creating nodes and links to represent airports and their connections. The tutorial concludes by emphasizing the potential of graph databases for complex data traversals and encourages users to explore further applications or seek help through community resources if needed.
