md`# tidy.js - prep data for Multi-Line Charts
Let's look at how we can use tidy.js to help us prep data for [multi-line charts](https://observablehq.com/@d3/multi-line-chart)`
Table(inputData)
tallData = tidy(
inputData,
pivotLonger({ cols: ['-name'], namesTo: 'month', valuesTo: 'value' }),
mutate({ value: d => +d.value })
)
Table(tallData)
groupedTallData = tidy(tallData, groupBy('name', groupBy.entriesObject()))
Table(groupedTallData)
groupedTallData2 = tidy(
tallData,
groupBy(
'name',
groupBy.entries({
mapEntry: ([key, values]) => ({ name: key, values }),
mapLeaf: d => d.value
})
)
)
Table(groupedTallData2)
series = tidy(
inputData,
// make data tall (one object per value)
pivotLonger({ cols: ['-name'], namesTo: 'month', valuesTo: 'value' }),
// make value a number
mutate({ value: d => +d.value }),
// export into our desired shape with `name, values` as field names
groupBy(
'name',
groupBy.entries({
mapEntry: ([key, values]) => ({ name: key, values }),
mapLeaf: d => d.value
})
)
)
simpleMonths = Object.keys(inputData[0]).slice(1)
tidyMonths = tidy(tallData, distinct('month'), map(d => d.month))
simpleDates = tidyMonths.map(d3.utcParse("%Y-%m"))
tidyDates = tidy(
tallData,
distinct('month'),
mutate({ date: d => d3.utcParse('%Y-%m')(d.month) }),
map(d => d.date)
)
chartData = ({ y: 'Unemployment %', series: series, dates: tidyDates })
import { chart } with { chartData as data } from '@d3/multi-line-chart'
chart
statesSeries = tidy(
inputData,
// make data tall (one object per value)
pivotLonger({ cols: ['-name'], namesTo: 'month', valuesTo: 'value' }),
// make value a number, extract state
mutate({
value: d => +d.value,
state: d => /, (..)/.exec(d.name)[1]
}),
// add in an overall average per month, re-using the "state" field to identify it
groupBy('month', total({ value: mean('value') }, { state: 'Overall' })),
// summarize at the state level for each month
groupBy(['state', 'month'], summarize({ value: mean('value') })),
// export into our desired shape with `name, values` as field names
groupBy(
'state',
groupBy.entries({
mapEntry: ([key, values]) => ({ name: key, values }),
mapLeaf: d => d.value
})
)
)
Table(statesSeries)
chartData2 = ({
y: 'Unemployment % by State',
series: statesSeries,
dates: tidyDates
})
import { xAxis, yAxis, line, hover, height } with {
chartData2 as data
} from '@d3/multi-line-chart'
import {
tidy,
pivotLonger,
groupBy,
mutate,
distinct,
map,
summarize,
mean,
total
} from '@pbeshai/tidyjs'
import { Table } from "@observablehq/inputs"
tsvInput = await FileAttachment("unemployment.tsv").text()
inputData = d3.tsvParse(tsvInput)
d3 = require("d3@^6.1")
One platform to build and deploy the best data apps
Experiment and prototype by building visualizations in live JavaScript notebooks. Collaborate with your team and decide which concepts to build out.
Use Observable Framework to build data apps locally. Use data loaders to build in any language or library, including Python, SQL, and R.
Seamlessly deploy to Observable. Test before you ship, use automatic deploy-on-commit, and ensure your projects are always up-to-date.
