Getting Started with the Vue Bullet Chart Component in Vue 2

20 Feb 202611 minutes to read

This article provides a step-by-step guide for setting up a Vue 2 project using Vue-CLI and integrating the Syncfusion® Vue Bullet Chart component.

Prerequisites

System requirements for Syncfusion® Vue UI components

Dependencies

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

|-- @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

Setup the Vue 2 project

To generate a Vue 2 project using Vue-CLI, use the vue create command. Follow these steps to install Vue CLI and create a new project:

npm install -g @vue/cli
vue create quickstart
cd quickstart
npm run serve

or

yarn global add @vue/cli
vue create quickstart
cd quickstart
yarn run serve

When creating a new project, choose the option Default ([Vue 2] babel, eslint) from the menu.

Terminal showing Vue CLI creating a Vue 2 project

Once the quickstart project is set up with default settings, proceed to add Syncfusion® components to the project.

Add Syncfusion® Vue packages

Syncfusion® packages are available at npmjs.com. To use Vue components, install the required npm package.

This article uses the Vue Bullet Chart component as an example. Install the @syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts package by running the following command:

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

or

yarn add @syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts

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

Add Syncfusion® Vue component

Follow the steps below to add the Vue Bullet Chart component:

  1. First, import and register the Bullet Chart component in the script section of the src/App.vue file.
<script>
import { BulletChartComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts';

export default {
  components: {
    'ejs-bulletchart': BulletChartComponent
  }
}
</script>
  1. In the template section, define the Bullet Chart component.
<template>
  <div>
      <ejs-bulletchart id="bulletChart"> </ejs-bulletchart>
  </div>
</template>

Here is the summarized code for the above steps in the src/App.vue file:

<template>
  <div>
    <ejs-bulletchart id="bulletChart"> </ejs-bulletchart>
  </div>
</template>
<script>
import { BulletChartComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts';

export default {
  name: "App",
  components: {
    'ejs-bulletchart': BulletChartComponent
  },
  data() {
    return {
    }
  }
}
</script>

Run the project

To run the project, use the following command:

npm run serve

or

yarn run serve

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 { BulletChartComponent, BulletTooltip } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts";

export default {
  components: {
    'ejs-bulletchart': BulletChartComponent
  },
  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 the dataSource property. Map the value and target fields to 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 { BulletChartComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts';

export default {
  name: "App",
  components: {
    'ejs-bulletchart': BulletChartComponent
  },
  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: 500, 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 { BulletChartComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts';

export default {
name: "App",
  components: {
    'ejs-bulletchart': BulletChartComponent
  },
  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 { BulletChartComponent, BulletRangeCollectionDirective, BulletRangeDirective } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts';

export default {
  name: "App",
  components: {
    'ejs-bulletchart': BulletChartComponent,
    'e-bullet-range-collection': BulletRangeCollectionDirective,
    'e-bullet-range': BulletRangeDirective
  },
  data() {
    return {
      data: [{ value: 270, target: 250 }],
      minimum: 0, maximum: 300, interval: 50
    }
  }
}
</script>

Tooltip

Enable tooltip for the Bullet Chart by setting the enable property to true in the tooltip object and registering the BulletTooltip module in provide.

Verify the chart

After starting the dev server, confirm the bullet chart renders correctly:

  • Start the dev server with npm run serve or yarn run serve.
  • Open the project URL shown in the terminal and verify the chart displays.
  • If the chart does not render, inspect the browser console for errors related to missing modules, incorrect imports, or incompatible Vue versions.

Troubleshooting (common issues)

  • Chart not rendering: ensure the BulletTooltip and other required modules are registered in provide and that dataSource contains valid data.
  • Incorrect mappings: verify valueField and targetField point to the correct keys in the data objects.
  • Version mismatch: confirm @syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts is compatible with Vue 2 in the project.
<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 { BulletChartComponent, BulletTooltip } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-charts';

export default {
  name: "App",
  components: {
    'ejs-bulletchart': BulletChartComponent
  },
  data() {
    return {
      data: [{ value: 270, target: 250 }],
      minimum: 0, maximum: 300, interval: 50,
      tooltip: { enable: true }
    }
  },
  provide: {
    bulletChart: [BulletTooltip]
  }
}
</script>
