How to make your D3.js projects responsive

A quick tip to make your D3.js projects responsive.
1- Set the viewBox attribute of the SVG parent: the first two values to zero, the last two to the width and height of your project, in pixels. It will ensure that the width/height ratio is maintained on all screen sizes.
Omit the width and height attributes since they will give fixed width and height to your project.
<svg viewBox="0 0 700 500">
// Your viz goes here
</svg>
2- Wrap the SVG parent in a responsive container.
There are many ways to go about it. For simplicity, I used a div element with 100% width and a max-width of 700px that corresponds to the max-width of the page content. Any grid system will also work.
<div style="width:100%; max-width:700px;">
<svg viewBox="0 0 700 500"></svg>
</div>
Hope that helps!
