Package Exports

d3-node

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (d3-node) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

D3-Node

Server-side D3 with ease

see examples >

Why?

Performance: pre-rendering allows offloading data processing, and network overhead
Take advantage of the entire ecosystem: npmjs.com
Static rendering of Data-Driven Documents (D3.js)
Portable SVG with embedded stylesheets
Easily adapt examples from bl.ocks.org

Basic usage:

 var D3Node = require('d3-node')
 var d3 = D3Node.d3
 var d3n = new D3Node()    // create instance
 d3.select(d3n.document.body).append('span') // select <body> & insert span
 d3n.html() // returns: <html><head></head><body><span></span></body></html>

SVG creation

 var d3n = new D3Node()      // initializes D3 with container element
 d3n.createSVG().append('g') // create SVG w/ 'g' tag
 d3n.svgString() // output: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g></g></svg>

Advanced usage

Setting container & insertion point via selector

 var options = {selector: '#chart'}, container: '<div id="container"><div id="chart"></div></div>'}
 var d3n = new D3Node(options) // initializes D3 with container element
 d3.select(d3n.document.querySelector('#chart')).append('span') // insert span tag into #chart
 d3n.html()   // output: <html><body><div id="container"><div id="chart"><span></span></div></div></body></html>

Inline SVG styles

 var d3n = new D3Node({styles:'.test {fill:#000;}'})
 d3n.createSVG().append('g')
 d3n.svgString()

Output

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
   <defs>
     <style type="text/css"><![CDATA[ .test{fill:#000;} ]]></style>
   </defs>
   <g></g>
<svg>
