React + D3 + useData Viz Starter
✓ Published1🌍 Public
This example demonstrates a minimal React and D3 starter template for building SVG visualizations. It shows how to fetch and parse a CSV dataset from a GitHub gist using a custom `useData` hook that leverages `d3.csv`, and renders the results inside a reusable `VizContainer` component. The container abstracts the SVG and group elements while following a standard margin convention; an optional `showMargins` prop displays placeholder rectangles to visualize the plotting area. The code highlights the integration of React’s state management via `useState` and `useEffect` with D3’s data loading and SVG rendering.
