Custom Javascript Visualization in Dashboard

Hi,

I am trying to render a network of my data using react-viz in the dashboard of my Splunk App . For the past few days, I have been trying various things to get the code to work, but all I see is a blank screen. I have pasted my code below. Please let me know if you can identify where I might be going wrong.

 

network_dashboard.js:

 

 

 

 

 

 

require([
    'jquery',
    'splunkjs/mvc',
    'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'
], function($, mvc) {
    function loadScript(url) {
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            const script = document.createElement('script');
            script.src=url;
            script.onload = resolve;
            script.onerror = reject;
            document.head.appendChild(script);
        });
    }

    function waitForReact() {
        return new Promise((resolve) => {
            const checkReact = () => {
                if (window.React && window.ReactDOM && window.vis) {
                    resolve();
                } else {
                    setTimeout(checkReact, 100);
                }
            };
            checkReact();
        });
    }

    Promise.all([
        loadScript('https://unpkg.com/react@17/umd/react.production.min.js'),
        loadScript('https://unpkg.com/react-dom@17/umd/react-dom.production.min.js'),
        loadScript('https://unpkg.com/vis-network/dist/vis-network.min.js')
    ])
    .then(waitForReact)
    .then(() => {
        console.log('React, ReactDOM, and vis-network are loaded and available');
        initApp();
    })

@VatsalJagani  If I am trying to implement within a splunk app, then would I be able to use: https://splunkui.splunk.com/Packages/react-ui/Overview or do I need to use: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/AdvancedDev/CustomVizTutorial
