Noob question about data for the new "Package Dependencies"

[owendall]

Just starting to prototype a few viz, and am obviously missing some fundamentals.

I read the introduction to data, but don’t see something equivalent to the usage as per this new observable “Package Dependenices”

[https://beta.observablehq.com/@mbostock/package-dependencies]

How do I replace this object with one of my own?

Thanks,

OK, now I see pulling package.json for every module from unpkg.com, starting with the [name] variable set at the top of the workbook;

Since we are still using d3 v4, this is very helpful:

Package Dependencies: D3v4

To visualize the dependencies of D3 v4, type d3@4 into the box, and click Submit. You’ll see this:

Thanks, Mike, the only thing I am missing now is s where you set the Url prefix to ‘unpkg.com’ in the code?

Must be right in front of me, but don’t see it.

That’s in require.resolve.

If you want this to visualize dependencies of a package that’s not on npm, I suspect you’ll need to edit the notebook and replace the calls to require.resolve with something else that points to your package.json.

Ah–got it! Thanks, Mike
