Four bars in a static HTML layout demonstrate a D3 data join, showing how elements enter, update, and exit based on an array of heights. Using `d3.select` and `selection.data`, the code binds the values `[100, 200, 300, 400]` to existing `.bar` divs, then applies inline styles for height and vertical margin to position them. The example also includes a separate SVG mask with a circle and horizontal rectangles, though it does not interact with the bars. This is a minimal v3-era reproduction using the D3 7.8.2 library.

  circle.setAttribute('r', 250);
  circle.setAttribute('fill', "white");
  mask_front.appendChild(circle);
  
  // creating horizontal bars
  const m = 100;
  for (let i = 0; i < m; i++) {
    const rect = document.createElementNS(
      'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg',
      'rect'
    );
    rect.setAttribute('y', 20 * i);
    rect.setAttribute('width', 1000);
    rect.setAttribute('height', 10);
    rect.setAttribute("mask", "url(#mask_front)");
    svg.appendChild(rect);

Enter, Exit, Update (i.e Merge)

This example demonstrates D3’s enter, exit, and update pattern for binding data to SVG rectangles, showing how bars are added, resized, or removed as the dataset changes. The code uses `selection.enter()`, `.merge(selection)`, and `selection.exit().remove()` within a reusable `drawChart` function, and it calls that function twice with different data arrays to illustrate the transitions. It relies on the D3 v5 `select` and `merge` APIs, with SVG rendering in a fixed 960×500 viewport.

enterExitUpdate

This example demonstrates how the D3.js v4 `select` API and its associated enter, update, and exit methods manage dynamic data changes. A small bar chart, initially displaying three names (Billy, Cindy, Walter), is updated with a hard-coded array of five scores. The update selection re-colors existing elements red, the enter selection inserts new divs for Alice, David, and Emily in green, and the exit selection removes stale elements. Both update and enter selections are merged and styled to display each score as a proportional bar width. The code relies on `d3.select`, `.data()`, `.enter()`, `.exit()`, and `.merge()`.

Entererer

Entererer is a minimal bar chart that visualizes a static array of five numeric values using D3.js v4. It shows a descending sequence of teal horizontal bars, each with a width proportional to its corresponding data point. The example demonstrates D3’s **enter selection** by using `d3.select('#chart')`, `.selectAll('div')`, and `.data(data)` followed by `.enter()` to create new `div` elements for each item, then sets their `class` to `bar` and computes the `width` style via a custom function. The rendering relies on standard HTML and CSS, with data hardcoded in the script.

EY Notes Selections: Update-Exit example

This example demonstrates how D3.js handles changing datasets through the enter, update, and exit selections. Three arrays of numbers cycle automatically, and each array renders as a set of vertical bars whose heights match the data values. The code uses `d3.selectAll('rect')`, `.data()` with a key function, and `.enter()`, `.merge()`, and `.exit()` to manage bars as data shifts. A `setInterval` triggers the update every 2.5 seconds, while `d3.scaleOrdinal` with `schemeCategory10` assigns bar colors. The visualization highlights object constancy by ensuring bars transition smoothly as values enter, update, or leave between states.

d3js - enter(), update() and exit()

A bar of five orange circles sits along a horizontal axis, with a button to swap between two data arrays of different lengths. Using D3 v3, the example demonstrates the data-join pattern: `enter()` appends new circle elements when longer data arrives, `exit()` removes surplus circles when data shrinks, and a `.transition()` updates all remaining circles’ radii and positions. The axis is drawn as simple SVG `line` elements with `text` labels, and the dataset label updates with each toggle.

simpleEnterExitUpdate

This example demonstrates how D3’s data join handles enter, update, and exit selections in a simple HTML div chart. It starts with three static divs (Billy, Cindy, Walter) and binds them to a new array of five score objects using a key function that matches by name. The existing divs turn red as the update selection, while Alice, David, and Emily are appended in green via `update.enter()`; the exit selection removes any unmatched elements. The code uses `d3.select`, `selectAll`, and `data` with a custom key function, and applies styles directly via `.style()` rather than SVG or canvas rendering.

HTML Starter

A simple bar chart renders three static rectangles from a hard-coded array of three values. The example demonstrates basic D3 data binding with `d3.select`, `canvas.selectAll`, and `.enter()`, appending SVG `rect` elements whose width and height are derived from each data point. The chart uses D3 v5 and outputs to an SVG canvas, with bars positioned vertically by index. No axes, scales, or interactivity are included, making it a minimal starter template for understanding core D3 joins.

d3js Exercice 4 - selection, data

This example demonstrates a basic data join with D3.js v4, where an array of five numeric values drives the widths of five horizontal bars. The visualization shows how selection and data binding work by pairing each number with a `<div>` element, applying a CSS class and dynamic pixel widths based on the data. The code uses `d3.select` and `selectAll` to target the container, then the `.data()` method to bind the array, followed by `.attr()` and `.style()` to update the bars. Commented exercises hint at extending the example with `.enter()` and `.exit()` for dynamic element creation and removal, though the visible implementation only performs the initial update. The static bars, with heights and margins set via CSS, render from the hardcoded dataset.
