Prerequisites

System requirements for Syncfusion Vue UI components

Dependencies

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

Installation and Configuration

Setup Vue Environment

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

Create a Vue Application

Start a new Vue application using below Vue CLI command.

vue init webpack-simple quickstart

cd quickstart
npm install

Adding Syncfusion Bullet Chart package

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

To install Bullet Chart component, use the following command

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

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

Registering Bullet Chart Component

You can register the Bullet Chart component in your application by using the Vue.use().

Refer to the code example given below.

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

Vue.use(BulletChartPlugin);

Registering BulletChartPlugin in vue, will register the Bullet Chart component along with its required child directives globally.

Adding Bullet Chart Component

  • Add the Vue Bullet Chart by using <ejs-bulletchart> selector in <template> section of the App.vue file.
<template>
  <div>
      <ejs-bulletchart id="bulletChart"> </ejs-bulletchart>
  </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { BulletChartPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts';
Vue.use(BulletChartPlugin);

export default {
  data () {
    return {
    }
  }
}
</script>
<button class="preview-sample-button" id="PreviewSampleButton-0aqxoq9kp9tb4uoqvx4bvdwycrujbrxt" onclick="LoadPreviewSample('https://helpej2.syncfusion.com/vue/documentation/code-snippet/bullet-chart/getting-started/initialize-cs1',this.id);">Preview Sample</button>

  • Now run the application in the browser using the below command.

      npm run dev

Module Injection

Bullet Chart component are segregated into individual feature-wise modules. In order to use a particular feature, you need to inject its feature module using provide method. In the current application,we are going to use tooltip feature of the Bullet Chart.

  • BulletTooltip - Inject this provider to use tooltip feature.

These modules should be injected to the provide method as follows,

import Vue from "vue";
import { BulletChartPlugin, BulletTooltip } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts";

Vue.use(BulletChartPlugin);

export default {
  provide: {
    bulletChart: [BulletTooltip]
  }
};

BulletChart With Data

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

let data: any[] = [
       { 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.

<template>
  <div>
      <ejs-bulletchart id="bulletChart"
        :dataSource="data"
        valueField="value"
        targetField="target"
        height="300"
        :minimum="minimum"
        :maximum="maximum"
        :interval="interval"
      > </ejs-bulletchart>
  </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { BulletChartPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts';
Vue.use(BulletChartPlugin);

export default {
  data () {
    return {
      data: [
       { value: 100, target: 80 },
       { value: 200, target: 180 },
       { value: 300, target: 280 },
       { value: 400, target: 380 },
       { value: 500, target: 480 },
      ],
      minimum: 0, maximum: 300, interval: 50
    }
  }
}
</script>

Add Bullet Chart Title

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

<template>
  <div>
      <ejs-bulletchart id="bulletChart"
        :dataSource="data"
        valueField="value"
        targetField="target"
        :minimum="minimum"
        :maximum="maximum"
        :interval="interval"
        title="Revenue"
      > </ejs-bulletchart>
  </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { BulletChartPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts';
Vue.use(BulletChartPlugin);

export default {
  data () {
    return {
      data: [{ value: 270, target: 250 }],
      minimum: 0, maximum: 300, interval: 50
    }
  }
}
</script>

Ranges

You can add a range using e-bullet-range of the e-bullet-range-collection.

<template>
  <div>
      <ejs-bulletchart id="bulletChart"
        :dataSource="data"
        valueField="value"
        targetField="target"
        :minimum="minimum"
        :maximum="maximum"
        :interval="interval"
        title="Revenue"
      >
      <e-bullet-range-collection>
          <e-bullet-range end="100" color="red"></e-bullet-range>
          <e-bullet-range end="200" color="blue"></e-bullet-range>
          <e-bullet-range end="300" color="green"></e-bullet-range>
        </e-bullet-range-collection>
      </ejs-bulletchart>
  </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { BulletChartPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts';
Vue.use(BulletChartPlugin);

export default {
  data () {
    return {
      data: [{ value: 270, target: 250 }],
      minimum: 0, maximum: 300, interval: 50
    }
  }
}
</script>

Tooltip

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 provide method.

<template>
  <div>
      <ejs-bulletchart id="bulletChart"
        :dataSource="data"
        valueField="value"
        targetField="target"
        :minimum="minimum"
        :maximum="maximum"
        :interval="interval"
        title="Revenue"
        :tooltip="tooltip"
      > </ejs-bulletchart>
  </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { BulletChartPlugin, BulletTooltip } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts';
Vue.use(BulletChartPlugin);

export default {
  data () {
    return {
      data: [{ value: 270, target: 250 }],
      minimum: 0, maximum: 300, interval: 50,
      tooltip: { enable: true }
    }
  },
  provide: {
    bulletChart: [BulletTooltip]
  }
}
</script>
