Adding D3 chart to InfoWindow Pop Up

LisCollins — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 07:42:29 GMT

Hello,

Does anyone have experience using D3 charts with ESRI maps?

I'm having issues getting a D3 chart to show up in my infowindow pop up on my web map.

What I want to happen:

I want my D3 Chart to show up in the custom info window template of my pop up that I created.

Error

-When I click on a county boundary, the D3 graph refuses to show in the info template div I created for my pop up. The result is just blank.

What is working:

The sample D3 graph shows in a random class I created for testing on the left side of the map called "chart".

Also, the sample D3 data variable shows in the pop up though the d3 graph refuses too. I'm using this tutorial to try to make a simple D3 bar chart: Let’s Make a Bar Chart

What I have tried:

I tried using Dojo charts but dojo is very complicated to use for me and there aren't too many tutorials explaining how to use the stacked bar chart. ESRI's native charts do no meet my needs either as eventually I want to use a dynamic stacked column chart. ->Seen here: Stacked Bar Chart

Right now, I'm just testing with a simple D3 bar chart and can't even get that too work.

Code here:

Can anyone figure out why my D3 charts won't display in the popup infowindow template?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Robert,

I'm having trouble getting my HTML to show in this post.

I added the JavaScript code that is found within the <script></script> tags in my code. I just copied and pasted the HTML code separately without using the form's insert HTML tool. I also added my JSfiddle link although I couldn't get it to display properly there either.

Hope this helps.

Hi Rickey,

The cedar.js file does not offer the stacked column bar chart option that I need.

Example of the type of chart I need is shown here: Stacked Bar Chart

InfoWindow is not a good place to be show chart. As it is meant to show information about an individual record. Why do you want to use that instead of creating an new tool. Again, the InfoWindow will expose just one record. Do you have all the values to be displayed in single record?

If you still want it. The way to do it is to customize the InfoWindo widget, and update the map.infoWindow with your custom widget at the time of initialize. Extend the InfoWindowBase or InfoWindow whichever you need.

LisCollins — Mon, 18 May 2015 18:00:18 GMT

Are you sure the InfoWindow is bad for charts?

ESRI shows charts being used in the infowindow in many of their examples.

Re: Adding D3 chart to InfoWindow Pop Up

The reason I advised, its not a good idea to use InfoWindow, the template is not constant which will parse the graphic.attributes.

As per the examples, they are using a function in place of template string. so the function should return a domNode, which is completely rendered. In your case, you are sending

"<div class='d3Pop1'>" + bar + data + "</div>"

your are just parsing "bar" and "data" to string. which is the mistake I believe. try to get the html from the 3D chart object and return it instead. I have not used 3D chart, so will not be able to help you there. Also, you are not using the graphic to generate the content. Should try to think it over how/what you want.

Lis,

Here is some working code based on what you have provided (the main thing is that I am creating a div and appending it to the window body, allowing d3 to do it's stuff then passing that node back to the info window setContent):

Thanks so much Robert!

The test graph is now showing in the pop ups.

Now on to the hard part: getting a stacked bar chart to show for my actual feature layer.

Just wondering, do you why I had to append it to a window body for it to work?

I would like to understand why my previous code didn't work. Thanks!

Lis,

I think D3 needs a dom node that is already part of the documents dom.
