D3 Force Directed Graph: why don't the flags appear?

Question

SITUATION:

Each node should have it\'s corresponding flag on it, that is not the case.

---

CODE:

Answer 1

A few changes are made to the code and seem to be working now.

1. Position attribute of the div containing flags and flag class is set to absolute.

2. tag was appended twice. Removed extra code.

3. Typo error - Change sim to simulation in dragstart and dragend methods.

4. flags div is not inside svg. So change from result.select("#flags") to d3.select("#flags")

   etc.

d3.json("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DealPete/forceDirected/master/countries.json", function(error, json) {

  if (error) {
    return console.warn(error);
  }

  const data = json;
  const nodes = data.nodes;
  const links = data.links;

  const margin = {
    top: 0,
    right: 0,
    bottom: 0,
    left: 0
  }

  const w = 1200 - margin.left - margin.right;
  const h = 550 - margin.top - margin.bottom;

  const results = d3.select('#results')

  const svg = results.append("svg")
    .attr("width", w + margin.left + margin.right)
    .attr("height", h + margin.top + margin.bottom);

  const simulation = d3.forceSimulation()
    .nodes(nodes)
    .force("charge_force", d3.forceManyBody().strength(-3))
    .force("center_force", d3.forceCenter(w / 2, h / 2));

  const div = d3.select("body")
    .append("div")
    .attr("class", "tooltip")
    .style("opacity", 0);

  const link = svg.append("g")
    .attr("class", "links")
    .selectAll("line")
    .data(links)
    .enter().append("line")
    .attr('stroke', 'black')
    .attr("stroke-width", 2);

  const node = d3.select('#flags').selectAll('.node')
    .data(nodes)
    .enter()
    .append('img')
    .attr('class', d => 'flag flag-' + d.code)
    .on("mouseover", function(d) {
      div.transition()
        .duration(200)
        .style("opacity", .9);
      div.html(d.country)
        .style("left", (d3.event.pageX - 7) + "px")
        .style("top", (d3.event.pageY - 30) + "px");
    })
    .on("mouseout", function(d) {
      div.transition()
        .duration(500)
        .style("opacity", 0);
    }).call(d3.drag()
      .on('start', dragStarted)
      .on('drag', dragged)
      .on('end', dragEnded))



  const link_force = d3.forceLink(links)

  simulation.force("links", link_force)

  simulation.on("tick", tickActions);

  function tickActions() {
    node.style('left', d => (d.x + 6) + "px")
      .style('top', d => (d.y - 5) + "px");

    link
      .attr("x1", function(d) {
        return d.source.x;
      })
      .attr("y1", function(d) {
        return d.source.y;
      })
      .attr("x2", function(d) {
        return d.target.x;
      })
      .attr("y2", function(d) {
        return d.target.y;
      });
  }

  function dragStarted(d) {
    if (!d3.event.active) simulation.alphaTarget(0.3).restart();
    d.fx = d.x;
    d.fy = d.y;
  }

  function dragged(d) {
    d.fx = d3.event.x;
    d.fy = d3.event.y;
  }

  function dragEnded(d) {
    if (!d3.event.active) simulation.alphaTarget(0);
    d.fx = null;
    d.fy = null;
  }
