In the following simple line chart, I want to add grid to x and y axis. Can someone help me in that?

Please, help me in finding how to add grids to the chart on both x and y axis.

Click the chart, and then click the Chart Design tab. Click Add Chart Element > Gridlines. Choose the axis that you want to apply the gridlines to or click More Gridline Options to open the Format Major Gridlines pane.
const svg = d3. select('#svg1'); The value returned by d3. select('#svg1') has functions that are appended in a chaining fashion to further modify the selected SVG element.
Plot represents a chart in its own terms. D3 transforms the native DOM; it describes incremental changes to standard HTML or SVG elements and their attributes. It has no notion of a “bar”, let alone a bar chart, but you can use it to append and transform an SVG <rect> , which serves the role of a bar.
There are two main ways to create the grid lines, one of them is setting innerTickSize to a negative number (see this other answer). The problem with this approach is that you lose the outward ticks. So, I'll explain the second way:
First, set a class for both your axes:
//for x axis
g.append("g")
.attr("class", "xAxis")
.call(d3.axisBottom(x))
.attr("transform", "translate(0," + height + ")");
//for y axis
g.append("g")
.attr("class", "yAxis")
.call(d3.axisLeft(y))
.append("text").attr("transform", "rotate(-90)").attr("text-anchor", "end");
And then, using these classes, append the lines:
d3.selectAll("g.yAxis g.tick")
.append("line")
.attr("class", "gridline")
.attr("x1", 0)
.attr("y1", 0)
.attr("x2", width)
.attr("y2", 0);
d3.selectAll("g.xAxis g.tick")
.append("line")
.attr("class", "gridline")
.attr("x1", 0)
.attr("y1", -height)
.attr("x2", 0)
.attr("y2", 0);
Here is a demo:
//Data in proper format
var data = [
{"letter": "A","frequency": "5.01"},
{"letter": "B","frequency": "7.80"},
{"letter": "C","frequency": "15.35"},
{"letter": "D","frequency": "22.70"},
{"letter": "E","frequency": "34.25"},
{"letter": "F","frequency": "10.21"},
{"letter": "G","frequency": "7.68"},
];
var width = 500, height = 300;
//removing prior svg elements ie clean up svg
d3.select('svg').selectAll("*").remove();
//resetting svg height and width in current svg
d3.select("svg").attr("width", width).attr("height", height);
//Setting up of our svg with proper calculations
var svg = d3.select("svg");
var margin = {top: 20, right: 20, bottom: 30, left: 40};
var width = svg.attr("width") - margin.left - margin.right;
var height = svg.attr("height") - margin.top - margin.bottom;
//Plotting our base area in svg in which chart will be shown
var g = svg.append("g").attr("transform", "translate(" + margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");
//X and Y scaling
var x = d3.scaleBand().rangeRound([0, width]).padding(0.4);
var y = d3.scaleLinear().rangeRound([height, 0]);
x.domain(data.map(function(d) { return d.letter; }));
y.domain([0, d3.max(data, function(d) { return +d.frequency; })]);
//Final Plotting
//for x axis
g.append("g")
.attr("class", "xAxis")
.call(d3.axisBottom(x))
.attr("transform", "translate(0," + height + ")");
//for y axis
g.append("g")
.attr("class", "yAxis")
.call(d3.axisLeft(y))
.append("text").attr("transform", "rotate(-90)").attr("text-anchor", "end");
d3.selectAll("g.yAxis g.tick")
.append("line")
.attr("class", "gridline")
.attr("x1", 0)
.attr("y1", 0)
.attr("x2", width)
.attr("y2", 0);
d3.selectAll("g.xAxis g.tick")
.append("line")
.attr("class", "gridline")
.attr("x1", 0)
.attr("y1", -height)
.attr("x2", 0)
.attr("y2", 0);
//the line function for path
var lineFunction = d3.line()
.x(function(d) {return x(d.letter); })
.y(function(d) { return y(d.frequency); })
.curve(d3.curveLinear);
//defining the lines
var path = g.append("path");
//plotting lines
path
.attr("d", lineFunction(data))
.attr("stroke", "blue")
.attr("stroke-width", 2)
.attr("fill", "none");.gridline{
stroke: black;
shape-rendering: crispEdges;
stroke-opacity: .2;
