A Web application for defining custom d3 builds.

Try it out!

Work in progress, just getting started.

Generating index.js

The following function call

d3BundlerUI.generateIndexJS(["select", "event", "transition"]);

will generate the following source code:

import { select } from "d3-selection";
import { event } from "d3-selection";
import { transition } from "d3-transition";

export default {
  select: select,
  get event() { return event; },
  transition: transition
};

Generating a D3 Bundle

The following function call

d3BundlerUI.generateBundle(["select", "event", "transition"]);

will generate the text found in d3-select-event-bundle.js.

The bundle is dynamically constructed by invoking d3-bundler on an automatically generated bundle index file.

It takes about half a second to generate the bundle.

In order for this to work, all listed modules must have entries in modules.json, and their Node modules must be installed locally (they should be added as dependencies in package.json).

Express Server

You can launch the Web server by running:

npm install
node index.js

When you access the URL http://localhost:5000/select,event, the text found in d3-select-event-bundle.js is rendered. An arbitrary list of comma separated d3 module names can be included.

When you access http://localhost:5000/, you will see the AngularJS user interface for selecting modules to include.

Please help!
