javascript-d3How do I quickly get started with d3.js?


Getting started with d3.js is a relatively straightforward process. Here are the steps:

  1. Include the d3.js library in your HTML file.

    <script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v5.min.js"></script>
  2. Create a selection of the elements you want to manipulate.

    const selection = d3.select('body')
  3. Use d3 methods to manipulate the selection.

    selection.style('background-color', 'lightblue')
  4. Create a data set to bind to the DOM.

    const data = [1, 2, 3, 4]
  5. Bind the data to the selection.

    const selectionWithData = selection.selectAll('p').data(data)
  6. Manipulate the selection with data.

    selectionWithData.text(d => d)
  7. Enter the elements into the DOM.

    selectionWithData.enter().append('p').text(d => d)
