javascript-d3How do I create a tutorial using JavaScript and D3?


Creating a tutorial using JavaScript and D3 is easy and straightforward.

  1. To begin, create an HTML page with the basic elements such as a <head> and <body> tag.
  2. Include the D3 library by using the <script> tag and linking to the CDN.
    <script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v5.min.js"></script>
  3. Create a <div> element with an id attribute to contain the tutorial content.
    <div id="tutorial-container"></div>
  4. Use JavaScript to create a new D3 selection that uses the #tutorial-container id as the selector.
    let tutorialContainer = d3.select("#tutorial-container");
  5. Use the selection to add elements to the page. For example, to create an <h1> element, use the append() method.
    tutorialContainer.append("h1").text("My Tutorial");
  6. Repeat step 5 to add more elements to the page.
  7. To style the elements, use the style() method to set the css properties.
    tutorialContainer.select("h1").style("color", "blue");

Output example

My Tutorial (in blue color)
