Find the value of a circle with d3js

Hello i am new user of D3js and use version 7, i have a problem to find the value of a circle pointed by the mouse.

I have find it with the following code :

.on("mousemove", (event, d) => {console.log("x10", d); )//WORKING}

inside this code :

d3.selectAll('circle')
  .on('mouseover', function(e, d) {
    d3.select(this)
	//.on("mousemove", (event, d) => {const x10 = console.log(event.currentTarget)+console.log("x10", d.measurement); })//WORKING
	.on("mousemove", (event, d) => {console.log("x10", d); })//WORKING
    //.console.log("A",x10) 
	.style('fill', 'red');
	  
  })

and so i can get the information (the value 60.49) i need on the console :

{
    "date": "2022-10-25T21:00:00.000Z",
    "measurement": 60.49
}

but i would like to get the returned value in a var or const, so i have tried this :

.on("mousemove", (event, d) => {var A = console.log("x10", d); })//NOT WORKING`

So if someone of you can help me.Thx

hi there! it looks like you are setting the value of var A to the return value of console.log("x10", d). console.log prints out the value passed to it, but will return undefined.

i would try directly setting var A to equal d, which is the value you want:

.on("mousemove", (event, d) => {var A = d; })

Hi thanks i have tried it but this is an obsolete syntaxe, this is why i have mentionned that i use version 7.
It seems that this is not used since version 6.
I have posted other reply but was catch by spam system of the Observable and i don’t know when will be released

you’re getting the style is not defined error because you need to call .style() on the element that you want to modify. in your code, try replacing everything starting from d3.selectAll('circle') with the following:

  d3.selectAll("circle")
    .style("fill", "blue")
    .attr("class", "point")
    .style("opacity", 1)

    .on("mouseout", function (event) {
      d3.select(this).style("fill", "blue");
    })

    .on("mouseover", function (e, d) {
      d3.select(this)
        .on("mousemove", (event, d) => logMeasurement(event, d))
        .style("fill", "red");
    });

that worked for me when testing in a notebook. i removed the duplicate mouseover function, and replaced the call to style with d3.select(this).style.
