Basic Example

Here’s a simple example of how to use a radar chart from ngce-charts:

In your HTML file:

<div style="height: 50%; width: 50%;">
    <ngce-chart [type]="'radar'" [data]="chartData" [options]="chartOptions"></ngce-chart>
</div>

In your TypeScript file:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NgceComponentsModule } from '@clarium/ngce-components';
import { IChartConfiguration, NgceChartsModule } from '@clarium/ngce-charts';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-chart',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [NgceComponentsModule, NgceChartsModule],
  templateUrl: './chart.component.html',
  styleUrl: './chart.component.css'
})
export class ChartComponent {
   
  chartData = {
    labels: [
      'Apples', 'Bananas', 'Cherries', 'Dates', 'Elderberries', 'Figs', 
      'Grapes', 'Honeydew', 'Kiwi', 'Lemons', 'Mangoes', 'Nectarines', 
      'Oranges', 'Papayas', 'Quinces', 'Raspberries', 'Strawberries', 
      'Tomatoes', 'Ugli fruit', 'Valencia oranges', 'Watermelon'
    ],
    datasets: [{
      label: 'Fruit Sales',
      data: [
        30, 45, 15, 20, 25, 10, 
        35, 40, 5, 60, 22, 12, 
        50, 30, 20, 5, 8, 
        15, 25, 10, 18
      ],
      backgroundColor: [
        '#FF5733', '#33FF57', '#3357FF', '#FF33A1', '#FFB833', '#33FFF5',
        '#FFC300', '#DAF7A6', '#581845', '#FF5733', '#C70039', '#900C3F',
        '#FF6384', '#36A2EB', '#FFCE56', '#4BC0C0', '#9966FF', '#FF9F40',
        '#FF4500', '#FFD700', '#7FFF00'
      ],
      borderColor: '#FFFFFF',
      borderWidth: 1,
      borderRadius: 5,
    }]
  };
  
  chartOptions: IChartConfiguration['options'] = {
    animation: {
      duration: 500,
    },
    scales: {
      y: {
        beginAtZero: true,
      },
    }
  };
}

Customizing Charts

You can customize the charts extensively using the available input properties. For example, you can change the type of chart, modify data dynamically, and pass custom configuration options.

<div style="height: 400px; width: 100%;">
    <ngce-chart [type]="'bar'" [data]="barChartData" [options]="barChartOptions"></ngce-chart>
</div>

In your component:

barChartData = {
  labels: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun'],
  datasets: [{
    label: 'Monthly Sales',
    data: [10, 25, 40, 30, 50, 70],
    backgroundColor: ['#FF6384', '#36A2EB', '#FFCE56', '#4BC0C0', '#9966FF', '#FF9F40'],
    borderColor: '#000000',
    borderWidth: 1,
  }]
};

barChartOptions: IChartConfiguration['options'] = {
  responsive: true,
  scales: {
    x: {
      beginAtZero: true,
    },
    y: {
      beginAtZero: true,
    },
  },
};
