Using d3 curvestep for a hierarchial structure

I am trying to build something similar to a hierachial structure using D3 and i am fairly new to this. This answer is what i am referring to accomplish it.
I referred the following links to get the links/connectors in this particular fashion
Using d3 curveStep
Using d3 linkVertical (linkRadial)
I keep getting the following error multiple times in developer console:
Error: <path> attribute d: Expected moveto path command ('M' or 'm'), "function line
Probably some error in my link function.
Following code is what i am using
var treeData =
{
"name": "Top Level",
"children": [
{
"name": "Level 2: A",
"children": [
{ "name": "Son of A" },

I have commented existing diagonal function and tried to introduce curveStep of D3. I have also tweaked a few things related to how the inputs are being passed to the diagonal function.

The issue you have is that d3.line accepts an array of points. You don't end up passing an array to d3.line anywhere.
Your diagonal function should look something like:
function diagonal(array) {
let line = d3.line()
.x(function(d) { return d.y; })
.y(function(d) { return d.x; }) // inverted x/y as you have a horizontal tree
.curve(d3.curveStep);
return line(array);
}
Normally, each link datum is an object, with properties for source and target, we need to pass an array containing both source and target to the diagonal function:
.attr("d", function(d) {
return diagonal([d.source,d.target])
})
Or an equivalent array.
As you've used nodes themselves as the link data, we can still use the same principle with:
.attr("d", function(d) {
return diagonal([d,d.parent])
})
Or, construct an array with objects that have x/y properties. In your case we'll need to construct some objects to represent points for the line generator as you're storing old positioning data we need to access:
Eg:
var treeData =
{
"name": "Top Level",
"children": [
{
"name": "Level 2: A",
"children": [
{ "name": "Son of A" },
{ "name": "Daughter of A" }
]
},
{ "name": "Level 2: B" }
]
};
// Set the dimensions and margins of the diagram
var margin = {top: 20, right: 90, bottom: 30, left: 90},
width = 960 - margin.left - margin.right,
height = 500 - margin.top - margin.bottom;
// append the svg object to the body of the page
// appends a 'group' element to 'svg'
// moves the 'group' element to the top left margin
var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg")
.attr("width", width + margin.right + margin.left)
.attr("height", height + margin.top + margin.bottom)
.append("g")
.attr("transform", "translate("
+ margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");
var i = 0,
duration = 750,
root;
// declares a tree layout and assigns the size
var treemap = d3.tree().size([height, width]);
// Assigns parent, children, height, depth
root = d3.hierarchy(treeData, function(d) { return d.children; });
root.x0 = height / 2;
root.y0 = 0;
// Collapse after the second level
root.children.forEach(collapse);
update(root);
// Collapse the node and all it's children
function collapse(d) {

d._children = d.children

d.children = null

How to use d3plus.TextBox() module for SVG line wrapping and automatic font size scaling ( on a D3.js Hierarchy Tree)

I am trying to use textBox module of d3plus-text for SVG textbox line-wrapping and automatic font size-scaling. I am following the use instructions from here https://github.com/d3plus/d3plus-text#d3plus-text
I am using the fucntion like so (as reccomended in the github) after updating the root tree:
new d3plus.TextBox()
.data(d3.select("text#rectResize"))
.fontSize(16)
.width(200)
.x(function(d, i) { return i * 250; })
.render();
But I am running into problems with the following error message:
d3plus-text.v0.10.full.min.js:7 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: this._data.reduce is not a function
at i.a (d3plus-text.v0.10.full.min.js:7)
at test6.html:86
I have searched high and low but still not been able to make this work. Any help on this would be appreciated.
PS: I know I can use MikeBostics Wrap functionality which you can see I have used in the code below with some edits and it works. But I still want to learn how to use d3plus.TextBox as it seems more elegant and provides additional functionality.
Shorter version of my script is below. You can fiddle with it here

Creating hyperlinks in an HTML tree diagram

I wish I create an interactive tree diagram with html.
Below is my code which quite operative.
I wish I improved it so that the last nodes or the labels of these nodes become hyperlinks:
Child 1 => http://www.url1.org
Child 2 => http://www.url2.net
etc.
I understood that one first has to define "url" in the definition of the nodes:
{"name": "Node 1","url":"http:/"http://www.url1.org},
But how to modify the last part of the code to produce the expected effect ?
Thank you for help or suggestion !

Creating a D3.js Collapsible Tree from CSV data

This might be a slightly silly question for those of you more familiar with d3 but I'm fairly new to it and I can't quite figure out how to get this thing to work:
What I'm trying to achieve is this: http://bl.ocks.org/robschmuecker/7880033
But I'd like to feed it the data from a flat CSV rather than a JSON.
The problem is that the CSV I have is formatted like so:
Parent Name | Child Name
-------------------------
Parent Name | Child Name
-------------------------
Parent Name | Child Name
so on...
Could someone please point me in the right direction? I know that the d3.csv function works somehow, but I have no idea how to 'plug it' into the example above.
I do apologise, I know this very much sounds like "Do my homework for me", but I've honestly given it a good go and I think I'm stuck.
Thank you. Appreciated.

I haven't seen what you are looking for done before, but it is a combination of creating a tree from flat data (which requires a bit of data manipulation to finesse it into the correct structure) and the standard loading data from and external source with d3.
Sadly I'm not able to set up a bl.ock for you to demonstrate live code,EDIT: Here is a live version of the running code on bl.ocks.org, and the following is the html file which is the combination of the two techniques;

Kudos should go to nrabinowitz for describing the data transformation here.

The code in the earlier answer is not collapsible. Adding a collapsible version of the same.

How can I get this d3 tree chart to work locally?

I am trying to learn to work with d3 and make something similar to this collapsible tree:
http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4339083
What can I do to make this interactive tree chart work locally?
I have saved the following files from the web all in the same directory:
d3_graph/tree_files/tree.html
d3_graph/tree_files/d3.js
d3_graph/tree_files/d3.layout.js
d3_graph/tree_files/flare.json
d3_graph/tree_files/style.css
This produced the graph, but it looks like chrome saved an already drawn SVG created by the javascript in tree.html, and the tree is not interactive like in the link above.
After looking at the source of the working version on the web, I saw the code was different, so I pasted that in to tree.html and changed the file to point at the correct locations of d3.js, d3.layout.js, style.css and flare.json
This still produced a blank white page and I'm not sure what else to do. How can I make this work?
Here is my edited version of tree.html:

EDIT:
I just checked the console in chrome to find this error:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///home/user/Downloads/d3_graph/tree_files/flare.json. Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP.
Could it be that I can't run this locally and need to access tree.html through a web server?

the other answers work, but there is an alternative if you don't want to fire a web server:
Firefox should open your file and load the local json by default, so nothing to do there.
you can launch Chrome with the flag --allow-file-access-from-files, and the JSON will be loaded.

The .json file needed to be loaded through an http request, so placing the files on a web server and accessing tree.html though http://myserver/tree.html fixes this problem.

I had the same issue using d3. Likely the file wouldn't load because some browsers have restrictions that prevent them from loading local files via JavaScript (for security).
I know you've answered your question, but for completeness, you can also use your own local computer to host and serve the files to yourself.
Open Terminal
Navigate to the file directory you're working with
(using cd, if your files are on your Desktop in a folder called
project: cd Desktop/project)
Use Python to run a server:
typepython -m SimpleHTTPServer 1234 &. The numbers are the port, you can use any four digits you like.
Go to your browser and type
localhost:1234
localhost:1234/page2.html for other files
