I made a world map in D3 with a mercator projection and trying to draw circles/bubbles as well, but they are not showing up on the map. I am using the same projection for the paths for the map as for the circles to calculate the cx and cy projections, but get the following error in my code below:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'coordinates' of null
var margin = {top: 20, right: 20, bottom: 20, left: 20};
var w = 1100 - margin.left - margin.right;
var h = 900 - margin.top - margin.bottom;
var svg = d3.select("#chart")
.append("svg")
.attr("width", w + margin.left + margin.right)
.attr("height", h + margin.top + margin.bottom)
.append("g")
.attr("transform", "translate(" + margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");
var meteorsData = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FreeCodeCamp/ProjectReferenceData/master/meteorite-strike-data.json";
var geoData = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johan/world.geo.json/master/countries.geo.json";
var geo = {};
var meteors = {};
d3.json(geoData, function(data){
//load world map data
geo = data.features;
d3.json(meteorsData, function(data){
meteors = data.features;
var projection = d3.geo.mercator()
.scale(150)
.translate([w/2, h/2]);
var path = d3.geo.path()
.projection(projection);
svg.selectAll("path")
.data(geo)
.enter()
.append("path")
.attr("fill", "#95E1D3")
.attr("stroke", "#34495e")
.attr("stroke-width", 0.5)
.attr("class", "countries")
.attr("d", path);
svg.selectAll(".circles")
.data(meteors)
.enter()
.append("circle")
.attr("cx", function(d){ return projection(d.geometry.coordinates)[0]})
.attr("cy", function(d){ return projection(d.geometry.coordinates)[1]})
.attr("r", 10)
.attr("fill", "ccc");
})
})
Someone can help me? Thanks
So in the data you were using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FreeCodeCamp/ProjectReferenceData/master/meteorite-strike-data.json
there was one data point that did not have a geometry and that was causing the error
{
"type": "Feature",
"geometry": null,
"properties": {
"mass": "2250",
"name": "Bulls Run",
"reclong": null,
"geolocation_address": null,
"geolocation_zip": null,
"year": "1964-01-01T00:00:00.000",
"geolocation_state": null,
"fall": "Fell",
"id": "5163",
"recclass": "Iron?",
"reclat": null,
"geolocation_city": null,
"nametype": "Valid"
}
},
so if you put in a check in your cx
and cy
functions that should solve the issue:
.attr("cx", function(d){
if (d.geometry){
return projection(d.geometry.coordinates)[0];
}
})
.attr("cy", function(d){
if (d.geometry) {
return projection(d.geometry.coordinates)[1];
}
})
