V5 Reusable Examples - Nested data, Chart (line) series DDM - Example 5.4
This example uses a nested data structure to power a multi-line chart with two drop-down menus, allowing users to filter the displayed sales trends by fruit type and year. The D3.js v5 code visualizes monthly sales figures loaded from a CSV file, rendering the data as separate lines for each year within a selected fruit category. The chart applies a reusable charting pattern based on the ProD3 methodology, using SVG for drawing the axes and line paths, and includes animated transitions when the user changes the filter selections.

D3.js version: 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.
