TypeScript Dijkstra's algorithm

TypeScript implementation of Dijkstra's algorithm.

Dijkstra's algorithm (or Dijkstra's Shortest Path First algorithm, SPF algorithm) is an algorithm for finding the shortest paths between nodes in a graph. It was conceived by computer scientist Edsger W. Dijkstra in 1956 and published three years later.

How it works

Create nodes by setting a value, a size and a color. Then, link them by clicking on the link button and setting a distance between them.

Finally, you can get the shortest path between two nodes by setting an origin and destiny node in the "Calculate shortest path" section.

Demo
