A starter kit for modern React and D3.js

react-d3-starter

A starter kit that uses Hooks-based components and D3 version 5 modules.

React and D3 both want to manage the DOM which can be a challenge bringing D3 into a React project. This repo demonstrates how hooks are used to load data for the chart with d3-fetch and then to provide a reference to an <svg> element. D3 then extends that <svg> to produce a simple horizontal bar chart. It is oriented at providing a good start for a CRA project using D3.

The D3 margin convention is used to define margin & svg width and height. React renders the initial svg. D3 extrapolates from that element.

The D3 API is here

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App. The Create React App README is here

Enjoy your D3ing!
