D3.js stacked bar chart growing to negative direction

Question

I am new to D3 and javascripts. I am trying to build an animated vertical stacked bar chart. I found an example here for a horizontal stacked bar chart. After tweaking it, I got a vertical stacked bar chart, however, growing downwards. Here is my edited fiddle.

Update: after making several tweaks, including the ones suggested by below, this finally works:final working upward growing stacked bar chart I feel the place(s) that I need to change should be within this code chunk

rects = groups.selectAll('.stackedBar')
        .data(function(d,i) {console.log("data", d,i); return d; })
        .enter()
        .append('rect').attr('class','stackedBar')
        .attr('y', function(d) { return yScale(d.y0); })
        .attr('x', function(d, i) {return xScale(d.x); })
        .attr('height',0)
        .attr('width', xScale.rangeBand());

        console.log(document.querySelectorAll(".stacked"));
        var abc=document.querySelectorAll(".stackedBar");

     rects
        .transition()
        .delay(function(d,i,j){console.log("pre",j); return j*500;})
        .attr("y", function(d) { return yScale(d.y0); })
        .attr("height", function(d) { return yScale(d.y); } )
        .duration(1000);

But I searched around and tried to revert the yScale range, the initial position of y, and none of them worked. I also noticed that no matter what, my yAxis is always below my X axis going doward.

First you must change the orientation of your y-scale:

yScale = d3.scale.linear().domain([0,yMax]).range([height,0])

And the x-axis must be transformed as well so it start at "height". In svg the top has height=0 so the bottom of your svg equals "height":

svg.append('g')
   .attr('class', 'axis')
   .call(xAxis)
   .attr("transform", "translate(0," + height + ")");

Last but not least, you have to change the building orientation of your stacked bar chart like:

rects
   .transition()
   .delay(function(d,i,j){console.log("pre",j); return j*500;})
   .attr("y", function(d) { return yScale(d.y + d.y0); })
   .attr("height", function (d) { return yScale(d.y0) - yScale(d.y + d.y0); } )
   .duration(1000);

Here is an updated fiddle.
