json method not working on newest version..

The problem with pedantically not answering someone's question is that you inevitably end up as the first google search result.

• There is no mention of this change in CHANGES.md on master. Perhaps you meant a specific commit?
• There is no answer on stack overflow
• The current API Documentation does not explain what the second parameter does, or what the function returns

I believe the answer is that the json function now returns a promise, so change your code from:

d3.json("data.json", function(error, json){
        data = data.concat(json);
        render(data);
    });

to

d3.json("data.json").then(function(json){
        data = data.concat(json);
        render(data);
    });

Please read the CHANGES:

https://github.com/d3/d3/blob/master/CHANGES.md#changes-in-d3-50

Please use Stack Overflow tag d3.js to ask for help. Stack Overflow provides a better collaborative forum: thousands of D3-related questions have been asked there, and some answers may be relevant to you.

When asking for help, please include a link to demonstrate the issue, preferably as an Observable notebook. It is often impossible to debug from code snippets alone. Isolate the issue and reduce your code as much as possible before asking for help. The less code you post, the easier it is for someone to debug, and the more likely you are to get a helpful response.

If you have a question about D3’s behavior and want to discuss it with other users, also consider the d3-js Google Group or joining the d3-js Slack.

Thank you! 🤗

@cheshirekow, the answer is the very first change described in the linked CHANGES document, starting with “D3 now uses Promises instead of asynchronous callbacks to load data…” and immediately followed by code snippets that exactly describe how to turn a v4-style callback into a v5 promise. The only difference is that it’s using d3.csv rather than d3.json, but all the d3-fetch methods behave the same way.

Thanks for your time coming here help my question. I learn a lot data visualization from D3.js. This is the best framework i ever try since i want the flexibility. Your innovation in data visualization is the best contribution to the society.

currently to learn I am following the book : Data Visualization with D3.js Cookbook by Nick Qhi Zu. Published in 2013. so i guess i get the old d3.js version. Okay later i will use stackoverflow and joining the group :)

I love to share, prof.
