Unable to get click event in D3 JavaScript library
19,180
Solution 1
Try this:
var circle = svg.append("svg:g").selectAll("circle")
.data(force.nodes())
.enter().append("svg:circle")
.attr("r", 6)
.on("click", function(d,i) { alert("Hello world"); })
.call(force.drag);
Solution 2
Try out this, if you want the node contained within the circle (let's say that your nodes are mapping an object with a key called anger and a value 34:
var circle = svg.append("svg:g").selectAll("circle")
.data(force.nodes())
.enter().append("svg:circle")
.attr("r", 6)
.on("click", function(d,i) { alert(d.anger); }) // this will alert 34
.call(force.drag);
Or try this for the attributes of the svg (getting the radius of the svg, for example):
var circle = svg.append("svg:g").selectAll("circle")
.data(force.nodes())
.enter().append("svg:circle")
.attr("r", 6)
.on("click", function(d,i) { alert(d3.select(this).r; }) // this will print out the radius })
.call(force.drag);
Sorry if my post is like the one above, but I thought the clarification could be useful.

I am using D3 JavaScript library to display data as a force directed marker. It works fine. But I am unable to add click event to the circle. so when I click on the circle, I get detailed analysis of the circle and display it in a modal box.
var links = [{source: "x", target:"y", type: "paid"},......]'; var nodes = {}; // Compute the distinct nodes from the links. links.forEach(function(link) { link.source = nodes[link.source] || (nodes[link.source] = {name: link.source}); link.target = nodes[link.target] || (nodes[link.target] = {name: link.target}); }); var w = 950, h = 500; var force = d3.layout.force() .nodes(d3.values(nodes)) .links(links) .size([w, h]) .linkDistance(60) .charge(-300) .on("tick", tick) .start(); var svg = d3.select("#graph").append("svg:svg") .attr("width", w) .attr("height", h); // Per-type markers, as they don't inherit styles. svg.append("svg:defs").selectAll("marker") .data(["suit", "licensing", "resolved"]) .enter().append("svg:marker") .attr("id", String) .attr("viewBox", "0 -5 10 10") .attr("refX", 15) .attr("refY", -1.5) .attr("markerWidth", 6) .attr("markerHeight", 6) .attr("orient", "auto") .append("svg:path") .attr("d", "M0,-5L10,0L0,5"); var path = svg.append("svg:g").selectAll("path") .data(force.links()) .enter().append("svg:path") .attr("class", function(d) { return "link " + d.type; }) .attr("marker-end", function(d) { return "url(#" + d.type + ")"; }); var circle = svg.append("svg:g").selectAll("circle") .data(force.nodes()) .enter().append("svg:circle") .attr("r", 6) .call(force.drag); var text = svg.append("svg:g").selectAll("g") .data(force.nodes()) .enter().append("svg:g"); // A copy of the text with a thick white stroke for legibility. text.append("svg:text") .attr("x", 8) .attr("y", ".31em") .attr("class", "shadow") .text(function(d) { return d.name; }); text.append("svg:text") .attr("x", 8) .attr("y", ".31em") .text(function(d) { return d.name; }); // Use elliptical arc path segments to doubly-encode directionality. function tick() { path.attr("d", function(d) { var dx = d.target.x - d.source.x, dy = d.target.y - d.source.y, dr = Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy); return "M" + d.source.x + "," + d.source.y + "A" + dr + "," + dr + " 0 0,1 " + d.target.x + "," + d.target.y; }); circle.attr("transform", function(d) { return "translate(" + d.x + "," + d.y + ")"; }); text.attr("transform", function(d) { return "translate(" + d.x + "," + d.y + ")"; }); }
I tried adding
.on("click", 'alert(\'Hello world\')')
tovar circle
. It does not work as expected. It alerts on load instead on click.I appreciate any help

Anthony Blake over 12 yearsWhere exactly did you place the .on("click", etc) code?

Josh Randall over 12 years@Antony Blake Thanks for answer. One last thing, if I want to get properties of the circle I should use d.source right, but it does not work. It says undefined. I appreciate all your help.

tuned over 10 yearsthere is a typo: alert(d3.select(this).r);
