Any plan to update this guide to use D3 v4? about js_data HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi Ham!

Very good to hear from you!

I'd very much like to update this guide to be D3v4 compatible. Its been on my todo list for some time now.

Let me dive into the current deployment process we have for this site (its been awhile since i looked at it). But i could envision saving the current state of the guide in a /v3 sub-folder (linked to from the main page) and then keeping the current version to be straight d3v4.

Combining them in the same document, as you indicated, would be another option.

Thanks for offering to help. Just the todo here is a great starting point for me! perhaps we could collaborate on reviewing modifications / additions.

Thanks for the heads up! As a next step, I will look at archiving the current state in a v3 directory.

on further reflection - i think there are some benefits to the the methodology you suggest. having both d3v3 and v4 instructions on the same page could be beneficial to people trying to integrate old code with new code... but we would want to make it not confusing to the folks wanting just v4 instructions.

will continue to reflect. Thanks for updating the TODO list!

Do you guys think http://learnjsdata.com/combine_data.html must be updated too? It uses D3 in one snippet, but only d3.merge and queue. I haven't worked with D3 for ages so I don't really know what's knew. Would be happy to dig into and update it though if it's necessary.
Lol I just realized @vlandham already updated it... sorry ;-) And thanks!

ha. i was just going to say, i've started down the path:

https://github.com/vlandham/js_data/compare/update-d3v4?expand=1

should have it able to be merged in a day or so. But you are right. there are more changes to be done!

@kanitw I've merged @1wheel and my changes to master and redeployed to http://learnjsdata.com/

do you want to do a pass through to ensure the guide is sufficiently converted to d3v4 - for your purposes?

Thanks again for the push.
