Pokemon

Create interactive visualizations for the Pokemon data. Complete the script so that when a user clicks on each menu button, there will be a different bar chart shown in the Viz block.

You will be reusing the code you wrote for generating SVG bar charts a couple weeks ago. The main challenge is to figure out how to connect your visualization code with the front-end code (event handlers ... etc).

// pokemonData is a global variable

$.get('/data/pokemon-small.json')

     console.log('data loaded', data)
     $('.myviz').html('number of records load:' + data.length)
     pokemonData = data          
 })
