# d3-fetch |
|
|
|
This module provides convenient parsing on top of [Fetch](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/). For example, to load a text file: |
|
|
|
```js |
|
const text = await d3.text("/path/to/file.txt"); |
|
console.log(text); // Hello, world! |
|
``` |
|
|
|
To load and parse a CSV file: |
|
|
|
```js |
|
const data = await d3.csv("/path/to/file.csv"); |
|
console.log(data); // [{"Hello": "world"}, 鈥 |
|
``` |
|
|
|
This module has built-in support for parsing [JSON](#json), [CSV](#csv), and [TSV](#tsv). You can parse additional formats by using [text](#text) directly. (This module replaced [d3-request](https://github.com/d3/d3-request).) |
|
|
|
## Installing |
|
|
|
If you use npm, `npm install d3-fetch`. You can also download the [latest release on GitHub](https://github.com/d3/d3-fetch/releases/latest). For vanilla HTML in modern browsers, import d3-fetch from Skypack: |
|
|
|
```html |
|
<script type="module"> |
|
|
|
import {csv} from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/d3-fetch@3"; |
|
|
|
csv("/path/to/file.csv").then((data) => { |
|
console.log(data); // [{"Hello": "world"}, 鈥 |
|
}); |
|
|
|
</script> |
|
``` |
|
|
|
For legacy environments, you can load d3-fetch鈥檚 UMD bundle from an npm-based CDN such as jsDelivr; a `d3` global is exported: |
|
|
|
```html |
|
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/d3-fetch@3"></script> |
|
<script> |
|
|
|
d3.csv("/path/to/file.csv").then((data) => { |
|
console.log(data); // [{"Hello": "world"}, 鈥 |
|
}); |
|
|
|
</script> |
|
``` |

## API Reference |
|
|
|
<a name="blob" href="#blob">#</a> d3.<b>blob</b>(<i>input</i>[, <i>init</i>]) 路 [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-fetch/blob/master/src/blob.js "Source") |
|
|
|
Fetches the binary file at the specified *input* URL as a Blob. If *init* is specified, it is passed along to the underlying call to [fetch](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#fetch-method); see [RequestInit](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#requestinit) for allowed fields. |
|
|
|
<a name="buffer" href="#buffer">#</a> d3.<b>buffer</b>(<i>input</i>[, <i>init</i>]) 路 [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-fetch/blob/master/src/buffer.js "Source") |
|
|
|
Fetches the binary file at the specified *input* URL as an ArrayBuffer. If *init* is specified, it is passed along to the underlying call to [fetch](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#fetch-method); see [RequestInit](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#requestinit) for allowed fields. |
|
|
|
<a name="csv" href="#csv">#</a> d3.<b>csv</b>(<i>input</i>[, <i>init</i>][, <i>row</i>]) 路 [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-fetch/blob/master/src/dsv.js "Source") |
|
|
|
Equivalent to [d3.dsv](#dsv) with the comma character as the delimiter. |
|
|
|
<a name="dsv" href="#dsv">#</a> d3.<b>dsv</b>(<i>delimiter</i>, <i>input</i>[, <i>init</i>][, <i>row</i>]) 路 [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-fetch/blob/master/src/dsv.js "Source") |
|
|
|
Fetches the [DSV](https://github.com/d3/d3-dsv) file at the specified *input* URL. If *init* is specified, it is passed along to the underlying call to [fetch](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#fetch-method); see [RequestInit](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#requestinit) for allowed fields. An optional *row* conversion function may be specified to map and filter row objects to a more-specific representation; see [*dsv*.parse](https://github.com/d3/d3-dsv#dsv_parse) for details. For example: |
|
|
|
```js |
|
const data = await d3.dsv(",", "test.csv", (d) => { |
|
return { |
|
year: new Date(+d.Year, 0, 1), // convert "Year" column to Date |
|
make: d.Make, |
|
model: d.Model, |
|
length: +d.Length // convert "Length" column to number |
|
}; |
|
}); |
|
``` |
|
|
|
If only one of *init* and *row* is specified, it is interpreted as the *row* conversion function if it is a function, and otherwise an *init* object. |
|
|
|

<a name="html" href="#html">#</a> d3.<b>html</b>(<i>input</i>[, <i>init</i>]) 路 [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-fetch/blob/master/src/xml.js "Source") |
|
|
|
Fetches the file at the specified *input* URL as [text](#text) and then [parses it](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/DOMParser) as HTML. If *init* is specified, it is passed along to the underlying call to [fetch](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#fetch-method); see [RequestInit](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#requestinit) for allowed fields. |
|

|
<a name="image" href="#image">#</a> d3.<b>image</b>(<i>input</i>[, <i>init</i>]) 路 [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-fetch/blob/master/src/image.js "Source") |

|
|
|
```js |
|
const img = await d3.image("https://example.com/test.png", {crossOrigin: "anonymous"}); |
