24 Feb 20267 minutes to read

This section describes the steps to create a simple Accumulation Chart and demonstrates the basic usage of the Accumulation Chart component. The dependencies for Accumulation Chart is same as chart control.

A quick video overview of the React Accumulation Charts setup is available:

Dependencies

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

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-charts
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-data
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-pdf-export
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-file-utils
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-compression
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-popups
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-base

Once you install @syncfusion/ej2-react-charts, the other required dependencies will be installed automatically along with the main package.

Installation and configuration

Create a React application

To easily set up a React application, use the Vite CLI (npm create vite), which provides a faster development environment, smaller bundle sizes, and optimized builds compared to traditional tools like create-react-app. For detailed steps, refer to the Vite installation instructions. Vite sets up your environment using JavaScript and optimizes your application for production.

Note: To create a React application using create-react-app instead, refer to this documentation for more details.

To create a new React application, run the following command.

npm create vite@latest my-app

This command will prompt you for a few settings for the new project, such as selecting a framework and a variant.

To set up a React application in TypeScript environment, run the following command.

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react-ts
cd my-app
npm run dev

To set up a React application in JavaScript environment, run the following command.

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react
cd my-app
npm run dev

Install Syncfusion^® Accumulation Chart package

All the available Essential^® JS 2 packages are published in the npmjs.com public registry.

To install the Syncfusion^® Accumulation Chart package, use the following command

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-charts --save

The –save will instruct NPM to include the Accumulation Chart package inside of the dependencies section of the package.json.

Add Accumulation Chart to the project

Add the Accumulation Chart component to src/App.tsx using the following code.

App.jsx

import {AccumulationChartComponent} from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import * as React from 'react';
function App() {
    return (<AccumulationChartComponent />);
}
export default App;

App.tsx

import { AccumulationChartComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import * as React from 'react';
function App() {
    return (<AccumulationChartComponent />);
}
export default App;

Now run the npm run dev command in the console to start the development server. This command compiles your code and serves the application locally, opening it in the browser.

npm run dev

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.

App.jsx

import { AccumulationChartComponent, AccumulationSeriesCollectionDirective, AccumulationSeriesDirective } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
function App() {
    const data = [
        { x: 'Jan', y: 3, text: 'Jan: 3' }, { x: 'Feb', y: 3.5, text: 'Feb: 3.5' },
        { x: 'Mar', y: 7, text: 'Mar: 7' }, { x: 'Apr', y: 13.5, text: 'Apr: 13.5' },
        { x: 'May', y: 19, text: 'May: 19' }, { x: 'Jun', y: 23.5, text: 'Jun: 23.5' },
        { x: 'Jul', y: 26, text: 'Jul: 26' }, { x: 'Aug', y: 25, text: 'Aug: 25' },
        { x: 'Sep', y: 21, text: 'Sep: 21' }, { x: 'Oct', y: 15, text: 'Oct: 15' }
    ];
    return <AccumulationChartComponent id="charts">
      <AccumulationSeriesCollectionDirective>
        <AccumulationSeriesDirective dataSource={data} xName='x' yName='y' radius='90%'/>
      </AccumulationSeriesCollectionDirective>
    </AccumulationChartComponent>;
}
;
export default App;
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('charts'));
root.render(<App />);

App.tsx

import { AccumulationChartComponent, AccumulationSeriesCollectionDirective, AccumulationSeriesDirective } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

function App() {

  const data: any[] = [
    { x: 'Jan', y: 3, text: 'Jan: 3' }, { x: 'Feb', y: 3.5, text: 'Feb: 3.5' },
    { x: 'Mar', y: 7, text: 'Mar: 7' }, { x: 'Apr', y: 13.5, text: 'Apr: 13.5' },
    { x: 'May', y: 19, text: 'May: 19' }, { x: 'Jun', y: 23.5, text: 'Jun: 23.5' },
    { x: 'Jul', y: 26, text: 'Jul: 26' }, { x: 'Aug', y: 25, text: 'Aug: 25' },
    { x: 'Sep', y: 21, text: 'Sep: 21' }, { x: 'Oct', y: 15, text: 'Oct: 15' }];

  return <AccumulationChartComponent id="charts">
      <AccumulationSeriesCollectionDirective>
        <AccumulationSeriesDirective dataSource={data} xName='x' yName='y' radius='90%' />
      </AccumulationSeriesCollectionDirective>
    </AccumulationChartComponent>

};
export default App;
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('charts'));
root.render(<App />);
