Interactive Data Visualization with D3.js

Introduction

Data visualization is a powerful way to communicate complex information. D3.js is the industry standard for creating custom, interactive visualizations on the web.

Getting Started

First, install D3.js in your React project:

npm install d3

Creating Your First Chart

Here’s a simple bar chart example:

import * as d3 from 'd3';

const data = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50];

d3.select('#chart')
  .selectAll('div')
  .data(data)
  .enter()
  .append('div')
  .style('height', d => `${d}px`);

Advanced Techniques

Once you master the basics, you can create complex visualizations like force-directed graphs, geographic maps, and animated transitions.
