<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/d3-arrow.min.js"></script>
<script>

const arrow = d3.arrow1();

</script>

API Reference

The API is based on the list of arrows in Adobe Illustrator v24.1.2. To add an arrowhead to an SVG element, you must first add the arrowhead generator to your SVG using selection.call. Then, pass the generator's id to the element's "marker-end" attribute:

const svg = d3.select("body").append("svg")
    .attr("width", 60)
    .attr("height", 20);

const arrow = d3.arrow1()
    .id("my-arrow")
    .attr("fill", "steelblue")
    .attr("stroke", "steelblue");

svg.call(arrow);

svg.append("polyline")
    .attr("marker-end", "url(#my-arrow)")
    .attr("points", [[5, 10], [55, 10]])
    .attr("stroke", "steelblue")
    .attr("stroke-width", 2);
