ES5 getting started in EJ2 JavaScript Bullet chart control

6 Feb 202616 minutes to read

This section explains the steps required to create a simple Bullet Chart and demonstrates the basic usage of the Bullet Chart control.

Dependencies

Below is the list of minimum dependencies required to use the Bullet 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

Setup for local environment

Follow these steps to set up your local environment.

Step 1: Create a root folder myapp for your application.

Step 2: Create myapp/resources folder to store local scripts and styles files.

Step 3: Create myapp/index.js and myapp/index.html files for initializing the Syncfusion Essential 2 Bullet Chart control.

Adding Syncfusion resources

The Essential JS 2 Bullet Chart control can be initialized by using either of the following ways.

Using local script.
Using CDN link for script.

Using local script

You can get the global scripts and styles from the Essential Studio JavaScript (Essential JS 2) build installed location.

After installing the Essential JS 2 product build, you can copy the Bullet Chart and its dependencies scripts and style file into the resources/scripts and resources/styles folder.

The following shows the path to the bullet chart’s script and style file.

Syntax:

Dependency script: **(installed location)**/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/JavaScript - EJ2/{RELEASE_VERSION}/Web (Essential JS 2)/JavaScript/{DEPENDENCY_PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{DEPENDENCY_PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Script: **(installed location)**/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/JavaScript - EJ2/{RELEASE_VERSION}/Web (Essential JS 2)/JavaScript/{PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Example:

Dependency script: C:/Program Files (x86)/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/JavaScript - EJ2/32.1.19/Web (Essential JS 2)/JavaScript/ej2-base/dist/global/ej2-base.min.js

Script: C:/Program Files (x86)/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/JavaScript - EJ2/32.1.19/Web (Essential JS 2)/JavaScript/ej2-charts/dist/global/ej2-charts.min.js

After copying the files, reference the chart scripts from index.html. The following HTML shows the minimal bullet chart dependencies.


<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>Essential JS 2 Bullet Chart</title>

            <!-- Essential JS 2 Bullet Chart's dependent scripts -->
            <script src="resources/scripts/ej2-base.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
            <script src="resources/scripts/ej2-svg-base.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

            <!-- Essential JS 2 Bullet Chart's global script -->
            <script src="resources/scripts/ej2-charts.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
       </body>
  </html>

Using CDN link for script

Using CDN link, you can directly refer the bullet chart control’s script into the index.html.

Refer the Bullet Chart’s CDN links as below.

Syntax:

Script: http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Example:

Script: http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-charts/dist/global/ej2-charts.min.js

The following HTML shows the minimal bullet chart dependencies using CDN scripts.

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>Essential JS 2 Bullet Chart</title>
            <!-- Essential JS 2 Bullet Chart's global script -->
            <script src="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-charts/dist/global/ej2-charts.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
       </body>
  </html>

Adding Bullet Chart control

Now, you can start adding Bullet Chart control in the application. For getting started, add a div element for Bullet Chart control in index.html. Then refer the index.js file into the index.html file.

This document uses ej2.min.js, which includes all Essential JS 2 components and dependencies.

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>Essential JS 2 Bullet Chart</title>
            <!-- Essential JS 2 all script -->
            <script src="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/dist/ej2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
           <!-- Add the HTML <div> element for bullet chart  -->
             <div id="element"></div>
             <script src="index.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </body>
  </html>

Place the following Bullet Chart initialization code in index.js.

var bulletChart = new ej.charts.BulletChart();
bulletChart.appendTo('#element');

The below example shows a basic Bullet Chart.

index.js
index.html
var bulletChart = new ej.charts.BulletChart({
});
bulletChart.appendTo('#element');
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head>
    <title>Bullet Chart</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta name="description" content="Typescript UI Controls">
    <meta name="author" content="Syncfusion">
    <link href="index.css" rel="stylesheet">
    
    
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/32.2.3/dist/ej2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/syncfusion-helper.js" type ="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

<body>
    
    <div id="container">
        <div id="element"></div>
    </div>


<script>
var ele = document.getElementById('container');
if(ele) {
  ele.style.visibility = "visible";
}   
      </script>
<script src="index.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body></html>

BulletChart With Data

This section explains how to plot local data to the Bullet Chart.

var data = [
     { value: 100, target: 80 },
     { value: 200, target: 180 },
     { value: 300, target: 280 },
     { value: 400, target: 380 },
     { value: 500, target: 480 },
];

Now assign the local data to dataSource property. value and target values should be mapped with valueField and targetField respectively.

index.js
index.html
var bulletChart = new ej.charts.BulletChart({
    dataSource: [{ value: 100, target: 80 },
            { value: 200, target: 180 },
            { value: 300, target: 280 },
            { value: 400, target: 380 },
            { value: 500, target: 480 }],
    valueName: 'value',
    targetName: 'target',
    height: '300',
    minimum: 0, maximum: 300, interval: 50,
});
bulletChart.appendTo('#element');
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head>
    <title>Bullet Chart</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta name="description" content="Typescript UI Controls">
    <meta name="author" content="Syncfusion">
    <link href="index.css" rel="stylesheet">
    
    
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/32.2.3/dist/ej2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/syncfusion-helper.js" type ="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

<body>
    
    <div id="container">
        <div id="element"></div>
    </div>


<script>
var ele = document.getElementById('container');
if(ele) {
  ele.style.visibility = "visible";
}   
      </script>
<script src="index.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body></html>

Add Bullet Chart Title

You can add a title using the title property to the Bullet Chart to provide quick information to the user about the data plotted in the Bullet Chart.

index.js
index.html
var bulletChart = new ej.charts.BulletChart({
    dataSource: [{ value: 270, target: 250 },],
    valueName: 'value',
    targetName: 'target',
    title: 'Revenue',
    minimum: 0, maximum: 300, interval: 50,
});
bulletChart.appendTo('#element');
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head>
    <title>Bullet Chart</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta name="description" content="Typescript UI Controls">
    <meta name="author" content="Syncfusion">
    <link href="index.css" rel="stylesheet">
    
    
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/32.2.3/dist/ej2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/syncfusion-helper.js" type ="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

<body>
    
    <div id="container">
        <div id="element"></div>
    </div>


<script>
var ele = document.getElementById('container');
if(ele) {
  ele.style.visibility = "visible";
}   
      </script>
<script src="index.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body></html>

Ranges

You can add a range using the ranges property to the Bullet Chart.

index.js
index.html
var bulletChart = new ej.charts.BulletChart({
    dataSource: [{ value: 270, target: 250 },],
    valueName: 'value',
    targetName: 'target',
    title: 'Revenue',
    minimum: 0, maximum: 300, interval: 50,
    ranges: [{ end: 100, color: 'red' },
        { end: 200, color: 'blue' },
        { end: 300, color: 'green' }
        ],
});
bulletChart.appendTo('#element');
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head>
    <title>Bullet Chart</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta name="description" content="Typescript UI Controls">
    <meta name="author" content="Syncfusion">
    <link href="index.css" rel="stylesheet">
    
    
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/32.2.3/dist/ej2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/syncfusion-helper.js" type ="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

<body>
    
    <div id="container">
        <div id="element"></div>
    </div>


<script>
var ele = document.getElementById('container');
if(ele) {
  ele.style.visibility = "visible";
}   
      </script>
<script src="index.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body></html>

You can use tooltip for the Bullet Chart by setting the enable property to true in tooltip object and by injecting the BulletTooltip module using BulletChart.Inject(BulletTooltip) method.

index.js
index.html
var bulletChart = new ej.charts.BulletChart({
        dataSource: [{ value: 270, target: 250 },],
        valueField: 'value',
        targetField: 'target',
        title: 'Revenue',
        minimum: 0, maximum: 300, interval: 50,
        ranges: [{ end: 100, color: 'red' },
        { end: 200, color: 'blue' },
        { end: 300, color: 'green' }
        ],
        tooltip: {
            enable: true
        }
});
bulletChart.appendTo('#element');
