@types/d3-dispatch

What is @types/d3-dispatch?

The @types/d3-dispatch package provides TypeScript type definitions for the d3-dispatch package, which is part of the D3 (Data-Driven Documents) JavaScript library. This package helps in managing and dispatching custom events in complex applications. It is particularly useful when integrating D3 with TypeScript projects, as it ensures type safety and enhances code readability and maintainability.

What are @types/d3-dispatch's main functionalities?

Creating a dispatch

This code demonstrates how to create a dispatcher with custom event types: 'load', 'progress', and 'error'. It allows you to register and trigger these events in your application.

import { dispatch } from 'd3-dispatch';

const dispatcher = dispatch('load', 'progress', 'error');

Registering event listeners

This code shows how to register different event listeners for the events created in the dispatcher. Each event type has a corresponding function that will be called when that event is dispatched.

dispatcher.on('load', loadData);
dispatcher.on('progress', updateProgress);
dispatcher.on('error', handleError);

Dispatching events

This code illustrates how to dispatch the 'load' and 'progress' events with associated data. The 'load' event is dispatched with a URL, and the 'progress' event with a numeric value representing progress.

dispatcher.call('load', this, { url: 'http://example.com/data' });
dispatcher.call('progress', this, 50);
