Simple Bar Chart Project
When you need to visualize a dataset as a bar chart using D3.js, you must combine several core concepts. For this project, your goal is to create a complete bar chart that displays numerical data with clear axes. The requirements are as follows:
- Represent each data point as a bar;
- Scale the bars to fit the chart area;
- Add labeled axes.
The chart must update smoothly when the data changes, using transitions for visual polish. This project brings together the key D3.js skills you have developed: selection, data binding, scales, axes, and transitions.

To understand how each concept is applied, start with the selection process. You use d3.select('body').append('svg') to create the SVG container where the chart will live. Next, data binding connects your dataset to SVG elements: svg.selectAll('rect').data(data) prepares to create a rectangle for each value. The .enter().append('rect') sequence ensures a new rectangle is created for each data item.
Scales are crucial for mapping data values to pixel positions. The xScale maps each data index to an x-coordinate, spacing bars evenly. The yScale maps data values to vertical positions, ensuring taller bars represent larger values. Axes are generated with d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft, then added to the SVG with the appropriate transforms to position them along the chart's bottom and left edges.
Transitions add smooth animation when the bars appear. Initially, each bar is drawn with a height of zero at the base line (yScale(0)). The .transition().duration(800) block animates each bar to its correct height and vertical position, creating a polished effect as the chart loads. By combining selection, data binding, scales, axes, and transitions, you achieve a dynamic, readable bar chart that responds visually to its data.
