Work with Data in D3

Work with Data in D3

:triangular_flag_on_post: Remember to use Read-Search-Ask if you get stuck. Try to pair program :busts_in_silhouette: and write your own code :pencil:

Problem Explanation:

This challenge uses the select, selectAll, append, and text methods seen in previous challenges. It adds 2 new D3 methods: data and enter to target the given data and display an element on the page for each datum

From the official D3 documentation:

:speech_balloon: Hint: 1

  • After selecting the correct HTML nodes, use the data method with the dataset variable passed as an argument to make the D3 object aware of the data

:speech_balloon: Hint: 2

  • Use the enter method to ensure that your HTML document has enough elements of the type you specified in selectAll for each datum

:speech_balloon: Hint: 3

  • Now that the D3 object is aware of your data and has created enough elements for each datum, append the elements of the specified type and add the text required in the instructions

Spoiler Alert!

Solution ahead!

:beginner: Basic Code Solution:

<body>
  <script>
    const dataset = [12, 31, 22, 17, 25, 18, 29, 14, 9];
    
    d3.select('body').selectAll('h2')
      .data(dataset)
      .enter()
      .append('h2')
      .text('New Title');
    
  </script>
</body>

Code Explanation:

  • d3 targets the D3 object
  • select('body') is used to select the 'body' element of the HTML document
  • selectAll('h2') is used to selectAll of the 'h2' elements that are children to 'body'
  • data(dataset) calls the D3 data method and uses the given dataset as an argument
  • enter() uses the D3 enter method to check the current number of elements selected and create any missing ones according to the amount needed by the dataset
  • append('h2') takes these newly created elements from enter and ensures they are created as 'h2' elements
  • text('New Title') changes the text of every element selected to 'New Title'
  • The dataset contains 9 datum, so the final solution should show 9 'h2' elements with the text 'New Title'
