Issue with D3.js call() Method

I am in the process of constructing a D3JS chain that concludes with a .call() function. Below is my current chain:

foo.selectAll('svg')
    .data(data)
    .enter()
    .append('svg')
    .classed('someclass', true)
    .call(someFunc);

Once it reaches the .call() function, it enters into the realm of D3JS functions.

d3_selectionPrototype.call = function(callback) {
    var args = d3_array(arguments);
    callback.apply(args[0] = this, args);
    return this;
};

The this object appears to be empty and results in an error message saying "Cannot read property length of undefined". The issue seems to occur randomly. Can anyone shed light on why or how this could be happening?

EDIT

I am working within a JavaScript framework that incorporates view composition. The D3JS call is made during the initial invocation of the model that drives the view.

Answer №1

After resolving this issue independently, I have decided to keep the solution posted here to aid anyone facing a similar problem in the future. An EDIT has been included in the question to provide additional context.

The key to solving the problem was realizing that my D3JS chain was being executed before the DOM elements were available for selection. By moving the chain to run after the DOM had finished rendering, the issue was successfully resolved.
