Vaadin 14 Chart.js

Vaadin 14 addon for the Chart.js charting library. https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js

Notice

This add-on was originally created by moberwasserlechner, but the repository is now archived. I reworked it to work with Vaadin 14 because I had to upgrade an existing Vaadin 8 project using this add-on to Vaadin 14. This is probably not the most efficient implementation (I currently send the state to the client every time it is changed), and I am open to pull requests. I have also deprecated a few features.

Features

Deprecated

• Menu API
  • can be replaced by Vaadin 14 Menu component(s).
• Download image of chart
  • Most modern browsers allow you to download a canvas
• Annotations
  • I plan to re-implement and test this, but haven't yet
• Pan support
  • Plan to fix panning but haven't quite figured it out yet
• Legend/Data point click listeners
  • May reimplement in the future, but I want a working version of this add-on first

Current

• Fluent api to configure the charts
• Supported chart types are
  • Horizontal bar chart
  • Vertical bar chart
  • Line chart
  • Donut chart
  • Pie chart
  • Polar area chart
  • Bubble chart
  • Radar chart
  • Scatter line chart
• Zoom support

Usage

The basic usage is always the same. You need to create a new ChartJs() and configure it with a chart type specific config.

For more examples please see the demo app

        ChartJs myChart = new ChartJs(config);
        // enable logging to the javascript console. You can see some interessenting things there ;). Please do not use this in production because it's only needed for debugging.
        myChart.setJsLoggingEnabled(true);
        myChart.setWidth(50, Unit.PERCENTAGE);
        // add a data point clicklistener
        myChart.addClickListener((datasetIdx, dataIdx) -> {
            BarDataset dataset = (BarDataset) barConfig.data().getDatasets().get(datasetIdx);
            Notification.show("BarDataset at idx:" + datasetIdx + "; Data: idx=" + dataIdx + "; Value=" + dataset.getData().get(dataIdx), Type.WARNING_MESSAGE);
        });

Bar chart configuration

In this example we configure a horizontal bar chart with 3 dataset and add some random numbers to each of them.

BarChartConfig config = new BarChartConfig();
config
    .data()
        .labels("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July")
        .addDataset(new BarDataset().type().label("Dataset 1").backgroundColor("rgba(151,187,205,0.5)").borderColor("white").borderWidth(2))
        .addDataset(new LineDataset().type().label("Dataset 2").backgroundColor("rgba(151,187,205,0.5)").borderColor("white").borderWidth(2))
        .addDataset(new BarDataset().type().label("Dataset 3").backgroundColor("rgba(220,220,220,0.5)"))
        .and();

config.
    options()
        .responsive(true)
        .title()
            .display(true)
            .position(Position.LEFT)
            .text("Chart.js Combo Bar Line Chart")
            .and()
       .done();

List<String> labels = config.data().getLabels();
for (Dataset<?, ?> ds : config.data().getDatasets()) {
    List<Double> data = new ArrayList<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < labels.size(); i++) {
        data.add((double) (Math.random() > 0.5 ? 1.0 : -1.0) * Math.round(Math.random() * 100));
    }

    if (ds instanceof BarDataset) {
        BarDataset bds = (BarDataset) ds;
        bds.dataAsList(data);    
    }

    if (ds instanceof LineDataset) {
        LineDataset lds = (LineDataset) ds;
        lds.dataAsList(data);    
    }
}

ChartJs chart = new ChartJs(config);
chart.setJsLoggingEnabled(true);

return chart; 

Chart Options

Please have a look at the great documentation at ChartJs. (http://www.chartjs.org/docs)

You will see that every fluent api method under config.options() has a counterpart in the javascript json config.

Prerequisite

Addon

• JDK 8
• Vaadin 8.x
