javascript-d3How can I use d3.js to create examples on CodePen?


Using d3.js to create examples on CodePen is easy and can be done in a few steps.

First, you'll need to include the d3.js library in your HTML. You can do this by adding the following code to the HTML section of your CodePen:

<script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v5.min.js"></script>

Next, you'll need to write your d3.js code in the JavaScript section of your CodePen. For example, the following code will create a simple bar chart:

const data = [12, 19, 8, 17, 22, 9, 15, 12, 19, 11, 14, 22, 29];

const svg = d3.select("svg");

svg.selectAll("rect")
  .data(data)
  .enter()
  .append("rect")
    .attr("x", (d, i) => i * 25)
    .attr("y", (d, i) => 300 - 10 * d)
    .attr("width", 25)
    .attr("height", (d, i) => d * 10)
    .attr("fill", "green");

This code will create the following output:

Bar Chart

The code consists of the following parts:

  1. const data = [12, 19, 8, 17, 22, 9, 15, 12, 19, 11, 14, 22, 29]; - Creating an array of data points.

  2. const svg = d3.select("svg"); - Selecting the SVG element in the HTML.

  3. svg.selectAll("rect") - Selecting all the rect elements in the SVG.

  4. .data(data) - Binding the data to the rect elements.

  5. .enter() - Creating new elements for each data point.

  6. .append("rect") - Appending a rect element for each data point.

  7. .attr("x", (d, i) => i * 25) - Setting the x attribute of the rect element.

  8. .attr("y", (d, i) => 300 - 10 * d) - Setting the y attribute of the rect element.

  9. .attr("width", 25) - Setting the width attribute of the rect element.

  10. .attr("height", (d, i) => d * 10) - Setting the height attribute of the rect element.

  11. .attr("fill", "green") - Setting the fill attribute of the rect element.
