Summary

React and D3.js are prominent tools in web development, with React being the leading frontend framework and D3.js a popular JavaScript library for graphics manipulation. This article explores the integration of D3.js version 6 with React apps, illustrating how to enhance graphics within React projects. It starts by setting up a React application using create-react-app and installing the D3.js package. The useEffect Hook in React is used to incorporate D3.js code, allowing developers to manipulate DOM elements, such as adjusting the stroke-width of SVG circles. The text guides through creating complex graphics, including scaling, adding axes, and developing scatter plots and line graphs using D3.js functions like scaleLinear, scaleTime, and axis methods for both x and y coordinates. It also covers reading data from CSV files to generate dynamic graphs, emphasizing D3.js’s capability to integrate seamlessly with React for building interactive, data-driven visualizations.
