Example 2: When entries function is used with the nest.
<!DOCTYPE html> < html lang = "en" > < head >   < meta charset = "UTF-8" >   < meta name = "viewport"          content=" width = device -width,                        initial-scale = 1 .0">   < title >Document</ title > </ head > < style > </ style > < body >   <!-- Fetching from CDN of D3.js -->   < script type = "text/javascript"   </ script >   < script >     // Forming the array of objects     let array=[       {val:"val10", data:"data11"},       {val:"val20", data:"data22"},       {val:"val30", data:"data33"},       {val:"val30", data:"data33"},       {val:"val30", data:"data33"},       {val:"val50", data:"data33"},       {val:"val40", data:"data44"}     ]     let data= d3.nest()                   .key(function(d) { return d.val; })                   .entries(array)     console.log("Type is: ", typeof array)     console.log(data);   </ script > </ body > </ html > |
