NVL is a JavaScript/TypeScript library that renders GPU-accelerated graphs and ships on npm (v0.3.6); the demo connects to Neo4j Aura with the official JS driver, uses the NVL resultTransformer to turn Cypher paths into nodes/relationships, styles captions/colors from record properties, and wires raw mouse events to getHits and setNodePositions to implement click, drag, pan, zoom, double‑click expansion (queries back to Aura), fit, and multi-instance drag-to-create behavior — all working live.
