How to use D3 in Node.js properly?

by

The correct way to use D3 within Node is to use NPM to install d3 and then to require it. You can either npm install d3 or use a package.json file, followed by npm install:

{
  "name": "my-awesome-package",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "dependencies": {
    "d3": "3"
  }
}

Once you have d3 in your node_modules directory, load it via require:

var d3 = require("d3");

And that’s it.

Regarding your other issues: Canvas is not required to use D3. The node-canvas example you linked requires canvas because it renders to a canvas. The TypeError (Cannot read property ‘BSON’ of undefined) appears to be related to your use of mongoose / monogdb, not D3.
