“The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it's as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues.” - Terry Pratchett
MoViz aims to vizualise databases about movies using the d3.js framework. I used a database from the https://www.kaggle.com/tmdb/tmdb-movie-metadata, which is basically a database of movies and further info provided by Kaggle.
The interface of the program currently looks like:
I believe that this program will be useful for two sets of people:
- People curious about the techniques that can be used to build any kind of data vizualization application from a database.
- People who want to investigate d3.js and data vizualization using d3.js.
Running the program is a pretty simple task. Simply invoke the line below to get the program running on localhost:888:
npm startIn order to install any missing webmodules, simply invoke the line below on any IDE or terminal:
npm install Please refer to my documentation and comments in order to gain more insight into the programs.
- d3.js
- webpack.js
- npm
- Start using the tmdb database.
- Whenever a user clicks on a UI element, we want the previous nodes to disappear.
