For several years we used an interactive Sankey diagram for Trase. D3 was an obvious choice for building complex data visualisations and Trase used the latest iteration of this library with a completely customised layout for the boundary-pushing sankey diagam. In just a few lines of code, D3 turned a static Sankey into a fully animated visualisation of trade data. Using Redux alongside D3 helped us deal with complex interaction flows within the data and meant we could keep the entire application state— including enabled filters, selected nodes and selected regions on the map—in a simple Javascript object and open up the option to share detailed stories drawn from the data. We’re proud to have been part of the early stages of Trase and supporting it to evolve into what it is today.
