D3 Force Graph in SolidJS with TypeScript

I've originally asked this on StackOverflow.

D3 seems so complicated to make work with basically any framework... Specially when it comes to TypeScript, since they apparently keep changing their APIs, rendering so many past examples from gists and other posts close to useless.

At the moment, I would like to make work with TypeScript and SolidJS the canonical force graph example.

I feel like trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle since a lot of the types just won't match. The one I've had the most trouble with was the

drag()

drag()

arguments, I believe. I've also tried simply ignoring types, of course, but I couldn't make it work either.

Also, does anyone know if it is possible to append any arbitrary component as a graph node?
