d3NoobV5 Reusable Examples - Area Chart
This example demonstrates a reusable area chart built with D3.js v5, showing stock closing prices over time from a CSV dataset with date and close columns. The chart renders an SVG containing a lightsteelblue area path and an overlaid steelblue line, using d3.area() and d3.line() with time and linear scales. Axes are generated via d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft, while the chart’s modular structure follows the Pro D3 pattern, separating scales, axes, and drawing functions into reusable components.

It is 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.
