You can use Vue CLI
to setup your vue applications.
To install Vue CLI use the following commands.
npm install -g @vue/cli
npm install -g @vue/cli-init
Start a new Vue application using below Vue CLI command.
vue init webpack-simple quickstart
cd quickstart
npm install
All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com
registry.
To install chart component, use the following command
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts --save
The —save will instruct NPM to include the chart package inside of the
dependencies
section of thepackage.json
.
You can register the chart component in your application by using the Vue.use()
.
Refer to the code example given below.
import { ChartPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts';
Vue.use(ChartPlugin);
Registering
ChartPlugin
in vue, will register the chart component along with its required child directives globally.
<ejs-chart>
selector in <template>
section of the App.vue
file.
The below example shows a basic Charts,<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-chart id="container"> </ejs-chart>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { ChartPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts';
Vue.use(ChartPlugin);
export default {
data () {
return {
}
}
}
</script>
<style>
#container{
height: 350px;
}
</style>
npm run dev
Chart component are segregated into individual feature-wise modules. In order to use a particular feature, you need to inject its feature service in the AppModule. In the current application, we are going to modify the above basic chart to visualize sales data for a particular year. For this application we are going to use line series, tooltip, data label, category axis and legend feature of the chart. Please find relevant feature service name and description as follows.
LineSeries
- Inject this provider to use line series.Legend
- Inject this provider to use legend feature.Tooltip
- Inject this provider to use tooltip feature.DataLabel
- Inject this provider to use datalabel feature.Category
- Inject this provider to use category feature.These modules should be injected to the provide section as follows,
import Vue from "vue";
import { ChartPlugin, LineSeries } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts";
Vue.use(ChartPlugin);
export default {
provide: {
chart: [LineSeries]
}
};
</script>
This section explains how to plot below JSON data to the chart.
export default {
data() {
return {
seriesData: [
{ month: 'Jan', sales: 35 }, { month: 'Feb', sales: 28 },
{ month: 'Mar', sales: 34 }, { month: 'Apr', sales: 32 },
{ month: 'May', sales: 40 }, { month: 'Jun', sales: 32 },
{ month: 'Jul', sales: 35 }, { month: 'Aug', sales: 55 },
{ month: 'Sep', sales: 38 }, { month: 'Oct', sales: 30 },
{ month: 'Nov', sales: 25 }, { month: 'Dec', sales: 32 }
]
};
}
};
series
property. Now map the field names month
and sales
in the JSON data to the xName
and
yName
properties of the series, then set the JSON data to dataSource
property.Since the JSON contains category data, set the valueType
for horizontal axis to Category
. By default, the axis valueType is Numeric
.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-chart id="container" :primaryXAxis='primaryXAxis'>
<e-series-collection>
<e-series :dataSource='seriesData' type='Line' xName='month' yName='sales' name='Sales'> </e-series>
</e-series-collection>
</ejs-chart>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { ChartPlugin, LineSeries, Category } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts";
Vue.use(ChartPlugin);
export default {

{ month: 'Jan', sales: 35 }, { month: 'Feb', sales: 28 },
{ month: 'Mar', sales: 34 }, { month: 'Apr', sales: 32 },
{ month: 'May', sales: 40 }, { month: 'Jun', sales: 32 },
{ month: 'Jul', sales: 35 }, { month: 'Aug', sales: 55 },
{ month: 'Sep', sales: 38 }, { month: 'Oct', sales: 30 },
{ month: 'Nov', sales: 25 }, { month: 'Dec', sales: 32 }
],
primaryXAxis: {
valueType: 'Category'
}
};
},
provide: {
chart: [LineSeries, Category]
}
};
</script>

as a prefix and K
as a suffix to each label. This can be achieved by setting the
${value}K
to the labelFormat
property of axis. Here, {value}
act as a placeholder
for each axis label.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-chart id="container" :primaryXAxis='primaryXAxis' :primaryYAxis='primaryYAxis'>

}
};
},
provide: {
chart: [LineSeries, Category]
}
};
</script>
<style>
#container{
height: 350px;
}
</style>
You can add a title using title
property to the chart to provide
quick information to the user about the data plotted in the chart.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-chart id="container" :title='title' :primaryXAxis='primaryXAxis' :primaryYAxis='primaryYAxis'>
<e-series-collection>
<e-series :dataSource='seriesData' type='Line' xName='month' yName='sales' name='Sales'> </e-series>
</e-series-collection>
</ejs-chart>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { ChartPlugin, LineSeries, Category } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts";
Vue.use(ChartPlugin);
export default {
data() {
return {
seriesData: [
{ month: 'Jan', sales: 35 }, { month: 'Feb', sales: 28 },
{ month: 'Mar', sales: 34 }, { month: 'Apr', sales: 32 },
{ month: 'May', sales: 40 }, { month: 'Jun', sales: 32 },
{ month: 'Jul', sales: 35 }, { month: 'Aug', sales: 55 },
{ month: 'Sep', sales: 38 }, { month: 'Oct', sales: 30 },
{ month: 'Nov', sales: 25 }, { month: 'Dec', sales: 32 }
],
primaryXAxis: {
valueType: 'Category'
},
primaryYAxis:{
labelFormat: '${value}K'
},
title: "Sales Analysis"
};
},
provide: {
chart: [LineSeries, Category]
}
};
</script>
<style>
#container{
height: 350px;
}
</style>
You can use legend for the chart by setting the visible
property to true in legendSettings
object and by injecting the LegendService
into the @NgModule.providers
.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-chart id="container" :title='title' :primaryXAxis='primaryXAxis' :primaryYAxis='primaryYAxis' :legendSettings='legendSettings'>
<e-series-collection>
<e-series :dataSource='seriesData' type='Line' xName='month' yName='sales' name='Sales'> </e-series>
</e-series-collection>
</ejs-chart>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { ChartPlugin, LineSeries, Category, Legend } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts";
Vue.use(ChartPlugin);
export default {
data() {
return {
seriesData: [
{ month: 'Jan', sales: 35 }, { month: 'Feb', sales: 28 },
{ month: 'Mar', sales: 34 }, { month: 'Apr', sales: 32 },
{ month: 'May', sales: 40 }, { month: 'Jun', sales: 32 },
{ month: 'Jul', sales: 35 }, { month: 'Aug', sales: 55 },
{ month: 'Sep', sales: 38 }, { month: 'Oct', sales: 30 },
{ month: 'Nov', sales: 25 }, { month: 'Dec', sales: 32 }
],
primaryXAxis: {
valueType: 'Category'
},
primaryYAxis:{
labelFormat: '${value}K'
},
legendSettings: {
visible: true
},
title: "Sales Analysis"
};
},
provide: {
chart: [LineSeries, Category, Legend]
}
};
</script>
<style>
#container {
height: 350px;
}
</style>
You can add data labels to improve the readability of the chart.
This can be achieved by setting the visible property to true in the dataLabel
object and by injecting DataLabel
into the provide
.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-chart id="container" :title='title' :primaryXAxis='primaryXAxis' :primaryYAxis='primaryYAxis' :legendSettings='legendSettings'>
<e-series-collection>
<e-series :dataSource='seriesData' type='Line' xName='month' yName='sales' name='Sales':marker='marker'> </e-series>
</e-series-collection>
</ejs-chart>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { ChartPlugin, LineSeries, Category, DataLabel, Legend } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts";
Vue.use(ChartPlugin);
export default {
data() {
return {
seriesData: [
{ month: 'Jan', sales: 35 }, { month: 'Feb', sales: 28 },
{ month: 'Mar', sales: 34 }, { month: 'Apr', sales: 32 },
{ month: 'May', sales: 40 }, { month: 'Jun', sales: 32 },
{ month: 'Jul', sales: 35 }, { month: 'Aug', sales: 55 },
{ month: 'Sep', sales: 38 }, { month: 'Oct', sales: 30 },
{ month: 'Nov', sales: 25 }, { month: 'Dec', sales: 32 }
],
primaryXAxis: {
valueType: 'Category'
},
primaryYAxis:{
labelFormat: '${value}K'
},
legendSettings: {
visible: true
},
marker: {
dataLabel:{
visible: true
}
},
title: "Sales Analysis"
};
},
provide: {
chart: [LineSeries, Category, DataLabel, Legend]
}
};
</script>
<style>
#container {
height: 350px;
}
</style>
The tooltip is useful when you cannot display information by using the data labels
due to space constraints. You can enable tooltip by setting the enable property as true in tooltip
object and by injecting TooltipService
into the @NgModule.providers
.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-chart id="container" :title='title' :primaryXAxis='primaryXAxis' :primaryYAxis='primaryYAxis' :tooltip='tooltip'>
<e-series-collection>
<e-series :dataSource='seriesData' type='Line' xName='month' yName='sales' name='Sales':marker='marker'> </e-series>
</e-series-collection>
</ejs-chart>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { ChartPlugin, LineSeries, Category, DataLabel, Tooltip } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts";
Vue.use(ChartPlugin);
export default {
data() {
return {
seriesData: [
{ month: 'Jan', sales: 35 }, { month: 'Feb', sales: 28 },
{ month: 'Mar', sales: 34 }, { month: 'Apr', sales: 32 },
{ month: 'May', sales: 40 }, { month: 'Jun', sales: 32 },
{ month: 'Jul', sales: 35 }, { month: 'Aug', sales: 55 },
{ month: 'Sep', sales: 38 }, { month: 'Oct', sales: 30 },
{ month: 'Nov', sales: 25 }, { month: 'Dec', sales: 32 }
],
primaryXAxis: {
valueType: 'Category'
},
primaryYAxis:{
labelFormat: '${value}K'
},
legendSettings: {
visible: true
},
marker: {
dataLabel:{
visible: true
}
},
tooltip:{ enable: true },
title: "Sales Analysis"
};
},
provide: {
chart: [LineSeries, Category, DataLabel, Tooltip]
}
};
</script>
<style>
#container {
height: 350px;
}
</style>
