I am currently working on a JavaScript file named 'linechart.js' which functions as a library. Inside this file, there is an object that contains a function responsible for generating a line chart using D3 when provided with some data. The code snippet looks like this:
linechart.js
var lineobj = {
plotFunc : function(data) {
//generate line chart using the data argument
}
}
The data utilized by the above-mentioned object is created within an AngularJS controller as demonstrated below:
index.controller.js:
app.controller('MainCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.generateData = function(){
//generate data for the line chart
}
}])
My current challenge lies in determining the best approach to solve the problem at hand.
Here are my queries:
1. What is the optimal method of passing data to linechart.js for generating the line chart?
2. Should I consider using a directive to invoke the 'plotFunc' function for creating the line chart? If so, how should I call this function?
3. Is it advisable to call the function directly within the controller itself? If yes, how can I properly execute this function?
4. Are there any other superior methods that I have overlooked in this scenario?
