I am applying a transition to a group of nodes returned by selectAll()
. I thought the end event would fire after all transitions finished, but each("end",function)
gets called at the end of each transition.
So is there any way to set a callback that will be called after transitions on all selected node finishes ?
Should I use call
for this? but I don't see it used as end callback anywhere in documentation.
also I can run a counter inside each
callback. but is there any way to know how many nodes are still pending to finish transition ? or index of current node in group of selected nodes ?
I've two select() calls in chain like selectAll('.partition').selectAll('.subpartition')
so index argument passed to each callback will rotated n times.
As far as I know there is not a built in way to know when the last transition of a group has finished but there are ways around it. One way that I have used several times involves maintaining a count of transitions that have finished.
var n = 0;
d3.selectAll('div')
.each(function() { // I believe you could do this with .on('start', cb) but I haven't tested it
n++;
})
.transition()
.on('end', function() { // use to be .each('end', function(){})
n--;
if (!n) {
endall();
}
})
function endall() {
// your end function here
}
Here are the links to the relevant documentation:
- https://github.com/d3/d3-transition#control-flow
- https://github.com/d3/d3-transition#the-life-of-a-transition
Here's a clean way to accomplish what you want:
function endAll (transition, callback) {
var n;
if (transition.empty()) {
callback();
}
else {
n = transition.size();
transition.each("end", function () {
n--;
if (n === 0) {
callback();
}
});
}
}
You can then easily call this function like so:
selection.transition()
.call(endAll, function () {
console.log("All the transitions have ended!");
});
This will work even if the transition is empty.
I had the same issue
that the call back gets executed with each element
I have solved that using underscore once method
http://underscorejs.org/#once
d3.select("#myid")
.transition()
.style("opacity","0")
.each("end", _.once(myCallback) );
