javascript-d3How do I use D3.js to create a Wikipedia page?


Using D3.js to create a Wikipedia page is relatively straightforward. The first step is to create a new HTML file and include the D3.js library.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

The next step is to create a <div> element in the body of the HTML file. This <div> will be used as a container for the Wikipedia page content.

<body>
  <div id="wikiPage"></div>
</body>

Then, use the d3.select() method to select the <div> and use the .html() method to set the HTML content of the <div> to the Wikipedia page content.

d3.select("#wikiPage").html(`
  <h1>Wikipedia</h1>
  <p>Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia, created and edited by volunteers around the world.</p>
`);

Finally, use the d3.selectAll() method to select all the elements in the <div> and use the .style() method to set styling for the elements.

d3.selectAll("#wikiPage *").style("color", "blue");

The output of this code would be a Wikipedia page with all of the elements styled in blue.
