Implementing a D3.js chart in Wagtail












1














Is it possible to add custom D3 charts to the draftail editor and insert an interactive D3 chart in the body wherever we want (just the way we insert an image)? I was trying to find tutorials on this but I might be wording my questions wrong, if you have any suggestions, please let me know.



Thanks in advance.

    StreamField is a far better approach for mixed-media content than putting everything into a rich text field: docs.wagtail.io/en/v2.3/topics/streamfield.html

    I managed to go through the documentation on streamfield, any suggestions how would I add a d3.js script as I could not really find anything on that topic.

  • I passed by RawHTMLBlock a few times, guess that is the solution but has its limitations. :)

  • That's a bit broad to answer here. You need to decide what data you're collecting on the edit form to represent a chart, and define a new block type with the relevant fields. For example, if chart data consists of a list of numbers along with a dropdown to select the chart type, you want a StructBlock consisting of a ListBlock of DecimalBlocks along with a ChoiceBlock. Alternatively, if it's appropriate for users to paste in chart data as a blob of JSON, it can be a single TextBlock. After that, write whatever template code you need to render that data through d3.js.
