Make a dropdown menu to choose an object in array?












1















I am new to using javascript and d3. I have a csv file of colleges and have created an array of each of these college object along with the attributes that belong to each college. I wan to create a drop down menu for the user to be able to select the college they would like to view the statistics of. I know how to make a bar graph given the statistic but do not know how to give the user the option of a drop down menu to select the college object and then how to pass the data from the selected object a graph. Could someone help me out. I will file and the code I have so far.



Here is a snippet of the csv file I am working with

      I am new to using javascript and d3. I have a csv file of colleges and have created an array of each of these college object along with the attributes that belong to each college. I wan to create a drop down menu for the user to be able to select the college they would like to view the statistics of. I know how to make a bar graph given the statistic but do not know how to give the user the option of a drop down menu to select the college object and then how to pass the data from the selected object a graph. Could someone help me out. I will file and the code I have so far.



      Here is a snippet of the csv file I am working with

          To create a drop down with D3, you want something like this -



          var dropdown = d3.select("#your-dropdown-location")
          .insert("select", "svg")
          .on("change", dropdownChange);

          dropdown.selectAll("option")
          .data(dataset)
          .enter().append("option")
          .attr("value", function (d) { return d.school; });


          function dropdownChange() {

          var newSchool = d3.select(this).property('value');
          //Update bar graph...

          }


          May require small tweak to the setting of the value to accommodate the format of your data set.

          To create a drop down with D3, you want something like this -



          var dropdown = d3.select("#your-dropdown-location")
          .insert("select", "svg")
          .on("change", dropdownChange);

          dropdown.selectAll("option")
          .data(dataset)
          .enter().append("option")
          .attr("value", function (d) { return d.school; });


          function dropdownChange() {

          var newSchool = d3.select(this).property('value');
          //Update bar graph...

          }


          May require small tweak to the setting of the value to accommodate the format of your data set.
