The groupings of D3 chart values do not reflect the loaded JSON data

I have encountered an issue with the grouping (Countries) in my JSON query while using a D3 chart to present the data. The current implementation is causing the data to display more than one line for some countries (e.g. Canada). Below is a snippet of the code:

data.forEach(function (a) {
    groups[a.value] = groups[a.value] || [];
    groups[a.value].push(a);    
});

result = Object.keys(groups).reduce(function (r, k) {
    return r.concat(groups[k]);
}, []);

My ideal solution would be to address this problem by modifying the script. Alternatively, I could consider altering the JSON format through manipulation. However, my primary focus is on finding a solution within the script itself. Here's the relevant snippet:

      var json_data= {"headers":["Dimension 1","Metric 1","Metric 2"],"rows":[["Australia",174,23],["Canada",502,17],["France",242,37],["Germany",102,42],["United Kingdom",126,44],["United States",1246,47],["Australia",680,80],["Canada",1241,66],["Canada",1241,66],["France",150,30],["Germany",244,22],["United Kingdom",501,9],["United States",4960,41],["Australia",9,8],["Canada",3655,70],["France",1654,95],["Germany",1190,36],["United Kingdom",1222,38],["United States",7941,53],["Australia",6829,56],["Canada",1664,75],["France",2995,88],["Germany",1487,100],["United Kingdom",9245,29],["United States",9008,66],["Australia",9376,7],["Canada",1531,31],["France",5421,22],["Germany",6975,41],["United Kingdom",4320,100],["United States",3200,41],["Australia",6688,41],["Canada",699,42],["France",5403,70],["Germany",6377,49],["United Kingdom",2471,14],["United States",6650,4],["Australia",865,70],["Canada",511,20],["France",981,36],["Germany",57,10],["United Kingdom",675,38],["United States",40,72],["Australia",400,63],["Canada",971,90],["France",357,93],["Germany",820,40],["United Kingdom",520,32],["United States",448,24],["Australia",513,40],["Canada",977,8],["France",118,84],["Germany",161,29],["United Kingdom",239,89],["United States",327,79]]};
      var headers = json_data.headers;
      var platform_data = json_data.rows;
      var data = [];
      var metric = 0;
      for (var i in platform_data)
        {
          var dimension = platform_data[i][0];
          metric = (platform_data[i][1]).toFixed(0);
          object = { label: dimension, value: metric};
          data.push(object);
        }

//Sorting
var data = data,
    groups = Object.create(null),
    result = [];

data.forEach(function (a) {
    groups[a.value] = groups[a.value] || [];
    groups[a.value].push(a);    
});

result = Object.keys(groups).reduce(function (r, k) {
    return r.concat(groups[k]);
}, []);


//Descending - Reverse JSON order
var objAssetSelection = result.reverse();
data = objAssetSelection;

Answer №1

There seems to be an issue with the grouping code. Upon inspecting the data after grouping, it appears to still hold the original non-grouped data.

For improved grouping functionality, consider utilizing d3.nest. Below is a sample grouping code utilizing d3.nest (grouping data based on label and aggregating values using d3.sum (d3.sum):

var nested_data = d3.nest()
                    .key(function(d) { return d.label; })
                    .rollup(function (d) { 
                      return d3.sum(d, function(v) { return +v.value;})
                    }).entries(data);

To ensure compatibility with your current code, I've restructured the nested data back to its original format with this snippet:

data = nested_data.map(function(row) {
  return {label: row.key, value: row.values};
});

UPDATE: Incorporating sorting logic

data.sort(function(a, b) { return a.value > b.value ? -1 : a.value === b.value ? 0 : 1; });

By employing the aforementioned nesting/grouping approach, here's a code snippet:

// Your JSON data and processing logic here...
// Visualizing the data using D3...
