I'm trying to make a bar chart with d3, and for this I'm following this tutorial d3noob chart, everything looks good but I'm unable to load the data from a JSON inside a variable instead of load from a JSON file, i've managed to load the json to a var but I have no idea of how to iterate the data and create the bars. The code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<head>
<style>
.axis {
font: 10px sans-serif;
}
.axis path,
.axis line {
fill: none;
stroke: #000;
shape-rendering: crispEdges;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js"></script>
<script>
var jdata = [

// console.log(jdata);

var margin = {top: 20, right: 20, bottom: 70, left: 40},
width = 600 - margin.left - margin.right,

// Parse the date / time
var parseDate = d3.time.format("%Y-%m").parse;
var x = d3.scale.ordinal().rangeRoundBands([0, width], .05);

var xAxis = d3.svg.axis()
.scale(x)
.orient("bottom")

.attr("width", width + margin.left + margin.right)
.attr("height", height + margin.top + margin.bottom)
.append("g")
.attr("transform","translate(" + margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");
//d3.json

.text("Value ($)");
svg.selectAll("bar")
.data(data)
.enter().append("rect")
.style("fill", "steelblue")
.attr("x", function(d) { return x(d.date); })
.attr("width", x.rangeBand())
.attr("y", function(d) { return y(d.value); })
.attr("height", function(d) { return height - y(d.value); });
});

It's here too: jsfiddle.
See my comments in the code...
