I love the visualizations created but something about D3 syntax has just never clicked for me. It seems overly convoluted, verbose and from an old era. We've thankfully moved to a more declarative way of doing things.
- laurels-marts 2y agoD3 is from jQuery era so there are a lot of methods for manually manipulating the DOM like d3.select() and then selection.attr() etc. but those patterns tend to lead to components that are lengthy, hard to read and hard to maintain. Arguably a better approach is to group each D3 module based on whether it "modifies DOM" or "doesn't modify DOM". Then use React/Svelte to declaratively render the DOM and only use the D3 modules from the latter group for their math utilities.
