This example demonstrates the general update pattern for data joins in D3, showing how fruits appear, disappear, and change type in a bowl visualization. Circles and text labels transition smoothly as apples are removed, replaced with lemons, or augmented with grapefruits. The fruitBowl function uses selection.enter, merge, and exit to manage SVG groups, with scaleOrdinal for color and radius mapping. Timed state updates in index.js trigger re-renders, while React integrates D3’s SVG rendering.
