Presentation
node-sparkline is a sparkline generator written in pure Node.js using ES6 and ES7 features with no dependency. It calculates points based on values to finally generate a polyline in a pure SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format. These values could be prices during the last 7 fays for an example.
The aim of this project is to provide a very simple, lightweight, zero-dependency, fast and fully-tested sparkline generator in SVG format and let user tune height, width, stroke color, stroke width and stroke opacity.
Installation
npm install node-sparkline
npm i -S node-sparkline
Technical information
Node.js
- Language: JavaScript ES6/ES7

Usage
Library
Import node-sparkline
node-sparkline module exports one function named sparkline.
const sparkline = require('node-sparkline');
sparkline(options)
options
<Object>:values
* <Array> An array of values to draw the sparkline.width
<Number> The width in pixels to fix for the generated SVG. Default:135
height
<Number> The height in pixels to fix for the generated SVG. Default:50
stroke
<String> The stroke color. An hexadecimal value or one of these generic names. Default:#57bd0f
strokeWidth
<Number> The stroke width in pixels. Min:0
Default:1.25
strokeOpacity
<Number> The stroke opacity. Min:0
Max:1
Default:1
Returns: <String> The SVG tags of the generated SVG image
Throws: <InputError>
Examples
You can find examples here: docs/examples
In these examples please prefer a well-known and tested asynchronous logger over the use of console module.
const sparkline = require('node-sparkline');
const values = require('./values'); // values is an array
try {
const svg = sparkline({
values,
width: 135,
height: 50,
stroke: '#57bd0f',
strokeWidth: 1.25,
strokeOpacity: 1,
});
// svg is a string with SVG + polyline tags
// ...
} catch (e) {
console.error(e.toString());
}
Environment variables
DEBUG: used to debug node-sparkline.
Examples:
DEBUG=node-sparkline:*
will debug all node-sparkline modules that could use the debugger.DEBUG=-node-sparkline:*
will disable debugging any node-sparkline modules that could use the debugger.DEBUG=*
will debug all node-sparkline modules that could use the debugger plus other modules used in your project if they use an equivalent debugger.
