Is there a good primer to this topic?

This sounds like an area I would enjoy a lot but am barely a beginner in React. Any working examples that might give me the right direction / inspiration ? Thanks

It's not exactly a primer, but my blog post[1] that I linked elsewhere in the thread is, I think, a pretty good example. It goes through some SVG basics, and then the following post in the theory talks through adding interactivity via event listeners hooked up in a React-y way.[2]

I can't promise that it's like, the best code or the best approach to the problem, but I did get the component working, which is worth something. Check it out - I'd love to hear what you think!

Day 24 is a basic example of React + SVG. Once you get the basics of React you can just start coding images based on this tutorial.
