Need help getting D3 charts on Leaflet map

I'm creating a custom visual which requires doughnut chart to be displayed over a map. To start with I'm trying to replicate this.

http://bl.ocks.org/d3noob/9267535

 

It has circles over a leaflet map. I got the leaflet map working but D3 part doesn't work. Please help me with this. If I get the circles on the map I can later replace them with doughnuts.

 

Visual.ts

module powerbi.extensibility.visual {
    
    
    export interface Data{
        lat: number;
        lng: number;
        latlng: {};
        status: string[];
        itemCnt: number[];
    }

    export class Visual implements IVisual {
        private target: HTMLElement;
        private divMap: HTMLElement;
        private divTable: HTMLElement;
        private map: L.Map;
        private basemap: L.TileLayer;
        private layer: L.TileLayer;

        constructor(options: VisualConstructorOptions) {
            console.log('Visual constructor', options);
            this.target = options.element;
            this.divMap = document.createElement("div");
            this.divMap.id = "map";
            this.divMap.style.height = "100%";   
            this.divMap.style.width = "100%";
            options.element.appendChild(this.divMap);

What version of pbiviz do you ($ pbiviz --version)?

 

You might try updating API version by running pbiviz update 1.13.0 in the directory where you visual is locatted.

Can you share the source code? Did you generate a custom visual by using pbiviz new command?

Hey there @v-viig

Thanks for replying...

 

I used exact codes shown in this thread actually. 

I started off with pbiviz new command then I used your solution as per above.

Then run pbiviz start and got following error Invalid API version

Then tried again with pbiviz update as per your suggestion then got the final error Typescript etc...

 

Thank you so much - I feel like its not far off...

Do you all of required files in src/Clients/Typedefs/ ?

 

It would be better if you could share source code as a zip file.

It still doesnt work and maybe i didnt do something right. I undestand from the thread that you have provided the final fix to the other users I wonder if this custom visual can be shared please? I think I have tried and failed in building it and if there's solution out there already and is open source - I will be most grateful.

Many thanks

Pedzilla

Hi @Anonymous,

 

You need to do several things to get the visual properly running. If I alter the following things I got the visual running like http://bl.ocks.org/d3noob/9267535:

 

pbiviz.json

  • I removed the "node_modules/fix.js", reference as it was causing errors

tsconfig.json

  • Remove all the Clients/Typedefs references as these files are not needed during run time

package.json - 'nice to have'

  •  Move "@types/d3": "^3.5.41", to the devDependencies part as typings (Intelligence) are only needed during development.

Last step: open a command prompt and navigate to the base directory of the visual and enter npm install --save-dev @types/leaflet to install the typings files to correct the errors: Cannot find namespace 'L'.

Hi there

@jppp I followed that and I finally had a visual! Many thanks for this much appreciated.

However, one last question from me I hope - how come my map is default to New Zealand? There must be somewhere in the data that I didnt remove before running pbiviz package command. Must be rookie mistake but hope you could help please?

 

Thank you
