React and d3-graphviz - reactjs

Question

I'm trying to render a graphviz graph from a dotfile in my React Component. I keep running into errors I don't understand. If anyone could shed some light I would be grateful.
import React from 'react';
import dotSrc from '../../assets/visualize_dotfile.dot';
import Viz from 'viz.js';
import * as d3 from 'd3'
import * as d3Graphviz from 'd3-graphviz';
class Visualization extends React.Component {
setGraph() {
console.log('DOT source =', dotSrc);
const dotSrcLines = dotSrc.split('\n');
d3.select(".graph").graphviz().renderDot(dotSrc);
}
render(){
return (
<div className="graph">
{this.setGraph}
</div>
)
}
}
export default Visualization;
I've also tried:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import dotSrc from '../../assets/visualize_dotfile.dot';
import Viz from 'viz.js';
import HTMLReactParser from 'react-html-parser';
const graph = Viz({ files: [ { path: dotSrc } ] });
class Visualization extends Component {
constructor() {
super();
this.state = {
name: 'React'
};
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<div>
{HTMLReactParser(graph)}
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
render(<Visualization />, document.getElementById('root'));
To no avail. Neither Viz nor GraphViz wants to read my dotfile though I'm not sure I'm using the correct syntax either.
Thank you in advance.

It's not exactly clear what you want to do and what errors you are getting.
This code at least generates a graph from a static string when the button is clicked:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import * as d3 from 'd3'
import * as d3Graphviz from 'd3-graphviz';
var dotSrc = 'digraph {a -> b}';
class App extends Component {
setGraph() {
console.log('DOT source =', dotSrc);
d3.select(".graph").graphviz().renderDot(dotSrc);
}
render() {
return (
<div className="App">
<header className="App-header">
<h1 className="App-title">Welcome to magjac's React hack</h1>
</header>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/viz.js#1.8.0/viz.js" type="javascript/worker"></script>
<div className="graph">
</div>
<button className="square" onClick={() => this.setGraph()}>
{'Click me'}
</button>
</div>
);
}
}
export default App;
