Getting started with EJ2 TypeScript Accumulation Chart control

19 Feb 20266 minutes to read

This document explains how to create a simple Accumulation Chart and configure its features in TypeScript using the Essential JS 2 webpack quickstart seed repository.

This application is integrated with the webpack.config.js configuration and uses the latest version of the webpack-cli. It requires node v14.15.0 or higher. For more information about webpack and its features, refer to the webpack getting-started guide.

Dependencies

Below is the list of minimum dependencies required to use the Accumulation Chart.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-charts
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-data
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-pdf-export
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-file-utils
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-compression
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-svg-base

Set up development environment

Open the command prompt from the required directory, and run the following command to clone the Syncfusion JavaScript (Essential JS 2) quickstart project from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/SyncfusionExamples/ej2-quickstart-webpack ej2-quickstart

After cloning the application in the ej2-quickstart folder, run the following command line to navigate to the ej2-quickstart folder.

cd ej2-quickstart

Add Syncfusion JavaScript packages

Syncfusion JavaScript (Essential JS 2) packages are available on the npmjs.com public registry. You can install all Syncfusion JavaScript (Essential JS 2) controls in a single @syncfusion/ej2 package or individual packages for each control.

The quickstart application is preconfigured with the dependent @syncfusion/ej2 package in the ~/package.json file. Use the following command to install the dependent npm packages from the command prompt.

npm install

Add accumulation chart to the project

Open the project in Visual Studio Code and add the Accumulation Chart to the application.

Add the HTML div tag with its id attribute as element in your ~/src/index.html file to initialize the Accumulation Chart.

    <meta charset="utf-8" />

</head>

<body>
     <!--container which is going to render the Accumulation chart-->
     <div id='element'>
     </div>
</body>

</html>

Import the Accumulation Chart component into src/app/app.ts to instantiate and render the Accumulation Chart.

import { AccumulationChart } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';

// initialize Accumulation Chart component
let chart: AccumulationChart = new AccumulationChart();

// render initialized Accumulation Chart
chart.appendTo('#element');

Pie Series

By default, a pie series is rendered when JSON data is assigned to the series dataSource property. Map JSON fields to the series xName and yName properties to bind data correctly.

import { AccumulationChart } from '@syncfusion/ej2-charts';
let piechart: AccumulationChart = new AccumulationChart({
    series: [
        {
            dataSource: [{ x: 'Jan', y: 3 }, { x: 'Feb', y: 3.5 }, { x: 'Mar', y: 7 }, { x: 'Apr', y: 13.5 },
            { x: 'May', y: 19 }, { x: 'Jun', y: 23.5 }, { x: 'Jul', y: 26 }, { x: 'Aug', y: 25 },
            { x: 'Sep', y: 21 }, { x: 'Oct', y: 15 }],
            xName: 'x',
            yName: 'y'
        }
    ]
}, '#element');
