JarCasting#gwt-d3: the GWT wrapper around d3.js
This library provides access to the d3.js API to the Java and GWT community. It allows GWT developers to use d3.js library in their project.
Goals of the library:
- provide access to relevant API of d3.js API
- enrich the API to ease Java programming style of d3 (turns JS array into List, string constants to Enum, ...)
- make a bridge between GWT Widget API and d3
Have a look at the demo.
##Getting started
1. Configure a project
Using Maven
add the gwt-d3-api module to your pom.xml:
<dependencies>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.gwtd3</groupId>
<artifactId>gwt-d3-api</artifactId>
<version>1.3.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
...
Note: these JARs don't contain any server-side code, so you don't need to package them into your webapp.
Without Maven
Download gwt-d3-js-3.5.11.jar, gwt-d3-api-1.3.0.jar. Add the JARs to the project classpath.
Note: these JARs don't contain any server-side code, so you don't need to package them into your webapp.
2. Add the gwt D3 module inheritance in your gwt module file (.gwt.xml):
<inherits name='com.github.gwtd3.D3' />
3. Check everything works fine :
final Label versionLabel = new Label("d3.js current version: " + D3.version());
RootPanel.get().add(versionLabel);
Launch your application; the current version of d3.js should be displayed.
##Learn D3
- The best way to learn D3 is to read the d3.js tutorials
- Then you may want to check the examples gallery from Mike Bostock website
- You may also be interested in forking the gwt-d3 repository to see the demo source code
- Read the Javadocs
- Look at the demo.
