This example displays a simple dropdown menu for selecting a pet, with the current choice reflected in the menu’s value. The visualization uses D3 v7’s `select` and data joins to bind an array of option objects to `<select>` and `<option>` elements. State management is handled through a custom `setState` function that updates the selected value and triggers a re-render of the menu. The code demonstrates how to build and update an interactive form control using D3’s declarative data-binding approach.
