An experimental fork of d3 implemented as a collection of AMD modules.
This repo's version of d3.js (in dist/) should be functionally identical to mbostock's master version, but is built via r.js instead of SMASH. The Makefile utilizes r.js' onBuildWrite feature to remove the AMD definitions from the built file, thus achieving SMASH's goal of keeping injected modules in the same scope as their caller. The built file currently contains no AMD calls or dependencies.
There is also an experimental amd/d3.js that preserves the AMD overhead and is meant for use with an AMD loader like RequireJS. amd/d3.js currently doesn't work, as I still need sort out some internal dependency issues.
The immediate goal of this project is to make it possible for me to selectively integrate submodules from d3 (dsv, geo, etc) into an AMD project workflow, with a single build containing both d3 and project-specific code. The longer term goal is to explore the possibility of migrating the upstream project over to AMD. In the meantime, if you just want to use stock d3 in an AMD project, you could use a shim config or add a define() wrapper directly to d3.js.
See mbostock/smash#12 for background discussion. Conversion from SMASH modules to AMD modules via smash2amd. onBuildWrite trickery inspired by jQuery.
D3.js is a JavaScript library for manipulating documents based on data. D3 helps you bring data to life using HTML, SVG and CSS. D3’s emphasis on web standards gives you the full capabilities of modern browsers without tying yourself to a proprietary framework, combining powerful visualization components and a data-driven approach to DOM manipulation.
