Hooked on D3: Creating Animated Ch(art)s with D3 and React
summary
Shows a clear integration pattern: React remains the chef and D3 the sous‑chef, with useRef and useEffect handing control and D3 running transitions. Implements bar and scatter visuals, uses D3’s enter/update/exit plus transitions (duration 1s) to animate state changes, and builds a live “non boring keyboard” that appends bars on keypress and supports axis reordering. Code runs and animations demonstrably smooth, with salt vs spice guidance for when to animate.
