How to draw a d3.js line chart using angularjs directives - angularjs

Question

How to use angular directives to load the d3.js graph using scope json data instead of using graph.html file.I had referred this urlurl.But unable to do it for line chart.
Can anyone please help me out regarding this issue ...
My graph.html:
function getDate(d) {
var dt = new Date(d.date);
dt.setHours(0);
dt.setMinutes(0);
dt.setSeconds(0);
dt.setMilliseconds(0);
return dt;
}
function showData(obj, d) {
var coord = d3.mouse(obj);
var infobox = d3.select(".infobox");
// now we just position the infobox roughly where our mouse is
infobox.style("left", (coord[0] + 100) + "px" );
infobox.style("top", (coord[1] - 175) + "px");
$(".infobox").html(d);
$(".infobox").show();
}
function hideData() {
$(".infobox").hide();
}
var drawChart = function(data) {
// define dimensions of graph
var m = [10, 20, 10, 50]; // margins
var w = 250 - m[1] - m[3]; // width
var h = 100 - m[0] - m[2]; // height
data.sort(function(a, b) {
var d1 = getDate(a);
var d2 = getDate(b);
if (d1 == d2) return 0;
if (d1 > d2) return 1;
return -1;
});
var minDate = getDate(data[0]),
maxDate = getDate(data[data.length-1]);
var x = d3.time.scale().domain([minDate, maxDate]).range([0, w]);
var y = d3.scale.linear().domain([0, d3.max(data, function(d) { return d.trendingValue; } )]).range([h, 0]);
var line = d3.svg.line()
.x(function(d, i) {
return x(getDate(d)); //x(i);
})
.y(function(d) {
return y(d.trendingValue);
});
function xx(e) { return x(getDate(e)); };
function yy(e) { return y(e.trendingValue); };
var graph = d3.select("#chart").append("svg:svg")
.attr("width", w + m[1] + m[3])
.attr("height", h + m[0] + m[2])
.append("svg:g")
.attr("transform", "translate(" + m[3] + "," + m[0] + ")");
var xAxis = d3.svg.axis().scale(x).ticks(d3.time.months, 1).tickSize(-h).tickSubdivide(true);
var yAxisLeft = d3.svg.axis().scale(y).ticks(10).orient("left"); //.tickFormat(formalLabel);
graph
.selectAll("circle")
.data(data)
.enter().append("circle")
.attr("fill", "steelblue")
.attr("r", 5)
.attr("cx", xx)
.attr("cy", yy)
.on("mouseover", function(d) { showData(this, d.trendingValue);})
.on("mouseout", function(){ hideData();});
graph.append("svg:path").attr("d", line(data));
$("#chart").append("<div class='infobox' style='display:none;'>Test</div>");
}
My directive:(which I had tried but unable to draw a graph)
angular.module( 'chart').directive( 'crD3Bars', [
function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
data: '='
},
link: function (scope, element) {
function getDate(d) {
var dt = new Date(d.date);
dt.setHours(0);
dt.setMinutes(0);
dt.setSeconds(0);
dt.setMilliseconds(0);
return dt;
}
function showData(obj, d) {
var coord = d3.mouse(obj);
var infobox = d3.select(".infobox");
// now we just position the infobox roughly where our mouse is
infobox.style("left", (coord[0] + 100) + "px" );
infobox.style("top", (coord[1] - 175) + "px");
$(".infobox").html(d);
$(".infobox").show();
}
function hideData() {
$(".infobox").hide();
}
var drawChart = function(data) {
// define dimensions of graph
var m = [10, 20, 10, 50]; // margins
var w = 250 - m[1] - m[3]; // width
var h = 100 - m[0] - m[2]; // height
data.sort(function(a, b) {
var d1 = getDate(a);
var d2 = getDate(b);
if (d1 == d2) return 0;
if (d1 > d2) return 1;
return -1;
});
var minDate = getDate(data[0]),
maxDate = getDate(data[data.length-1]);
var x = d3.time.scale().domain([minDate, maxDate]).range([0, w]);
var y = d3.scale.linear().domain([0, d3.max(data, function(d) { return d.trendingValue; } )]).range([h, 0]);
var line = d3.svg.line()
.x(function(d, i) {
return x(getDate(d)); //x(i);
})
.y(function(d) {
return y(d.trendingValue);
});
function xx(e) { return x(getDate(e)); };
function yy(e) { return y(e.trendingValue); };
var graph = d3.select("#chart").append("svg:svg")
.attr("width", w + m[1] + m[3])
.attr("height", h + m[0] + m[2])
.append("svg:g")
.attr("transform", "translate(" + m[3] + "," + m[0] + ")");
var xAxis = d3.svg.axis().scale(x).ticks(d3.time.months, 1).tickSize(-h).tickSubdivide(true);
var yAxisLeft = d3.svg.axis().scale(y).ticks(10).orient("left"); //.tickFormat(formalLabel);
graph
.selectAll("circle")
.data(data)
.enter().append("circle")
.attr("fill", "steelblue")
.attr("r", 5)
.attr("cx", xx)
.attr("cy", yy)
.on("mouseover", function(d) { showData(this, d.trendingValue);})
.on("mouseout", function(){ hideData();});
graph.append("svg:path").attr("d", line(data));
$("#graphDiv3").append("<div class='infobox' style='display:none;'>Test</div>");
}
drawchart(data);
}
};
}
]);

Instead of mashing up two blocks of code and hoping it works, I'd recommend you follow some simple angular tutorials to get a better grasp of the basics. Also, some simple debugging would have gone a long way here.
You do not declare your module.
You do not seem to pass in your data anywhere (like in a controller which also doesn't exist).
The function is drawChart, you are calling drawchart
In your directive, you select a div with id of chart, this doesn't exist. Since it's a directive and they act on elements use d3.select(element[0])
All that said once you work through these relatively simple mistakes, you get some working code:
var myAppModule = angular.module('chart', []);
angular.module('chart').controller('chartCtrl', function ($scope) {
$scope.myData = [{
"date": "2015-10-01",
"trendingValue": "244"
},
{
"date": "2015-07-01",
"trendingValue": "0"
},
{
"date": "2015-06-01",
"trendingValue": "117"
},
{
"date": "2015-05-01",
"trendingValue": "5353"
},
{
"date": "2015-04-01",
"trendingValue": "11159"
},
{
"date": "2015-03-01",
"trendingValue": "7511"
},
{
"date": "2015-02-01",
"trendingValue": "6906"
},
{
"date": "2015-01-01",
"trendingValue": "10816"
},
{
"date": "2014-12-01",
"trendingValue": "3481"
},
{
"date": "2014-11-01",
"trendingValue": "1619"
},
{
"date": "2014-10-01",
