27 Apr 20248 minutes to read

You can update a chart with live data by using the set interval.

To update live data in a chart, follow the given steps:

Step 1:

Initialize the chart with series.

  import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-container',
    // specifies the template string for the Chart component
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container"></ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent {
    <e-series-collection>
                <e-series [dataSource]='data' type='Line' xName='x' yName='y'> </e-series>
    </e-series-collection>
}

Step 2:

Update the data to series, and refresh the chart at specified interval by using the set interval.

To refresh the chart, invoke the refresh method.
