D3.js node.count() Function

Last Updated : 23 Sep, 2020

The node.count() function of D3.js library is used to count the number of leaves under a particular node and append it as a value property to the object. If the node given is itself a leaf node then the count is one.

Syntax:

node.count();

Parameters: This function does not take any parameter.

Return Value: This function returns an object.

Below given are a few examples of the function given above.

Example 1: The following example demonstrates counting leaves for the root node.

        console.log("The number of leaves for root" 
                + " node are: ", count.value); 
    </script>

Output:

Example 2: The following code demonstrates counting number of leaves for any node.
