2018-10-04 13:37:37 +00:00
The previous challenges covered how to display data from an array and how to add CSS classes. You can combine these lessons to create a simple bar chart. There are two steps to this:
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
1) Create a `div` for each data point in the array
2) Give each `div` a dynamic height, using a callback function in the `style()` method that sets height equal to the data value
2018-10-04 13:37:37 +00:00
Recall the format to set a style using a callback function:
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
`selection.style("cssProperty", (d) => d)`

Add the `style()` method to the code in the editor to set the `height` property for each element. Use a callback function to return the value of the data point with the string `px` added to it.
