Updated: Visualize Data with a Bar Chart - xAxis problem

JavaScript
1

UPDATE:
I solved this issue rather crudely. So I’m going to go through it again to resolve the ‘padding’ issue:

const xScale = d3.scaleTime()
    .domain(
      [
        new Date(d3.min(data, (d) => d[0])),
        new Date(d3.max(data, (d) => d[0]))
      ]
    )
    **.range([padding, 788])**

My Bar Chart data is as it should be.
The data bars are displaying correctly but not matching the ticks on the xAxis.
So the x-axis ticks are going beyond the bars.

Does this mean my d3.scaleTime() is correct and there is something wrong the ticks?

  const xScale = d3.scaleTime()
    .domain(
      [
        new Date(d3.min(data, (d) => d[0])),
        new Date(d3.max(data, (d) => d[0]))
      ]
    )
    .range([padding, w])

svg.selectAll("rect")
    .data(data)
    .enter()
    .append("rect")
    .attr("class", "bar")
    .attr("width", w / xScale(data.length))
    .attr("height", d => h - yScale(d[1]))
    .attr("data-date", d => d[0])
    .attr("data-gdp", d => d[1])
    .attr("x", (d, i) => (i * w / xScale(data.length)) + padding)
    .attr("y", (d) => yScale(d[1]) - padding);

 svg.append("g")
    .attr("transform", "translate(0," + (h - padding) + ")")
    .attr("id", "x-axis")
    .attr("class", "tick")
    .call(xAxis)

Might need to see more code. Not sure what data and padding look like, for example.

3 
 const data = dataSet.data;
 const w = 800;
 const h = 400;
 const padding = 30

“data” is the data list from the json file.
And console.log(data) looks like:

data

  svg.selectAll("rect")
    .data(data)
    .enter()
    .append("rect")
    .attr("class", "bar")
    .attr("width", w / xScale(data.length))
    .attr("height", d => h - yScale(d[1]))
    .attr("data-date", d => d[0])
    .attr("data-gdp", d => d[1])
    .attr("x", (d, i) => (i * w / data.length) + padding)
    .attr("y", (d) => yScale(d[1]) - padding);

Are data values in the response recorded every month, every quarter,… on what interval?
