V5 Reusable Examples - Nested data, Chart series - Example 3.1
A nested bar chart displays monthly sales totals for three fruit categories, with each month’s sales aggregated and grouped by fruit type. The visualization uses a single x-axis for months and y-axis for sales values, rendering red-bordered bars per category. Built with D3 v5, it applies a reusable chart pattern based on Mike Bostock’s principles and Marcos Iglesias’ ProD3 structure. The code uses `d3.scaleBand` for x positioning, `d3.scaleLinear` for y scaling, and `d3.axisBottom`/`d3.axisLeft` for axes, with data loaded from a CSV file containing Month, Sales, and Fruit columns.

d3.js ver: v5.
D3 pattern used:
A vanilla HTML implementation.
Reusable structure:
- derived from Mike Bostock's Towards Reusable Charts (https://bost.ocks.org/mike/chart/) as the source of the foundational principles.
- But uses the ProD3 pattern (Pro D3.js Use D3.js to Create Maintainable, Modular, and Testable Charts by Marcos Iglesias https://www.apress.com/gp/book/9781484252024) as the basis for the charts.
