pax.BlazorChartJs 0.6.2

TestPage

Blazor dotnet wrapper library for ChartJs

The following versions of ChartJs are compatible with published releases of pax.BlazorChartJs Release | ChartJs | Tests ---|---------------|---------------| ⇐ 0.5.0 | 3.9.1 | 3.9.1 >= 0.5.0 | 4.x | 4.4.0

Getting started

This library is using JavaScript isolation. JS isolation provides the following benefits:

• Imported JS no longer pollutes the global namespace.
• Consumers of a library and components aren't required to import the related JS.

Prerequisites

dotnet 6

Installation

dotnet add package pax.BlazorChartJs --version 0.6.2

Program.cs:

    builder.Services.AddChartJs(options =>
    {
        // default
        options.ChartJsLocation = "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chart.js";
        options.ChartJsPluginDatalabelsLocation = "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chartjs-plugin-datalabels@2";
    });

Usage

Sample Project pax.BlazorChartJs.samplelib with Sample Chart

<div class="btn-group">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" @onclick="Randomize">Randomize</button>
</div>
<div class="w-75 h-50">
    <ChartComponent
        @ref="chartComponent"
        ChartJsConfig="chartJsConfig"
        OnEventTriggered="ChartEventTriggered">
    </ChartComponent>    
</div>

@code {
    ChartJsConfig chartJsConfig = null!;
    ChartComponent? chartComponent;
    private bool chartReady;

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        chartJsConfig = new ChartJsConfig()
        {
            Type = ChartType.bar,
            Data = new ChartJsData()
            {
                Labels = new List<string>() { "Jan", "Feb", "Mar" },
                Datasets = new List<ChartJsDataset>()
                {
                    new BarDataset()
                    {
                        Label = "Dataset 1",
                        Data = new List<object>() { 1, 2, 3 }
                    }
                }
            }
        };
        base.OnInitialized();
    }

    private void ChartEventTriggered(ChartJsEvent chartJsEvent)
    {
        if (chartJsEvent is ChartJsInitEvent initEvent)
        {
            chartReady = true;
        }
    }

    private void Randomize()
    {
        if (!chartReady)
        {
            return;
        }

        Random random = new();
        Dictionary<ChartJsDataset, SetDataObject> chartData = new();

        foreach (var dataset in chartJsConfig.Data.Datasets)
        {
            if (dataset is BarDataset barDataset)
            {
                List<object> newData = new();
                foreach (var data in barDataset.Data)
                {
                    newData.Add(random.Next(1, 10));
                }
                chartData[dataset] = new(newData);
            }
        }
        chartJsConfig.SetData(chartData);
    }
}

Update Chart

• To update the chart with the current ChartJsConfig call ChartJsConfig.ReinitializeChart()
• To update the chart with smooth animations there are several helper functions available, e.g.:
  • ChartJsConfig.SetLabels(...)
  • ChartJsConfig.AddData(...)
  • ChartJsConfig.AddDataset(...)
  • ChartJsConfig.SetData(...)
• use ChartJsConfig.UpdateChartOptions() to update the chart options, only (e.g. StepSize)

Chart Events

Several chart events are available, by default only the Init event is fired. The others can be activated in the ChartJsConfig.Options Sample

• click
• hover
• leave
• progress
• complete
• resize

Supported Plugins

• chartjs-plugin-datalabels
• ArbitraryLines (YouTube)
• Custom Plugins Sample

ChartComponent

Several chart functions are available in the ChartComponent, e.g.:

• ChartComponent.ResizeChart(...)
• ChartComponent.GetChartImage(...)
• ChartComponent.ToggleDataVisibility(...)
