This section explains you the steps required to create a simple Linear Gauge and demonstrate the basic usage of the Linear Gauge control.
The list of dependencies required to use the linear gauge component in your application is given below:
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-lineargauge
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-svg-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-lineargaugeVue CLI can be used to setup the Vue applications. To install Vue CLI use the following command.
npm install -g @vue/cli
npm install -g @vue/cli-initStart a new project using below Vue CLI command.
vue init webpack-simple quickstart
cd quickstart
npm installAll the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com registry.
To install Linear Gauge component, use the following command
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-lineargauge –saveFor Registering Vue Component two ways are available. They are as follows.
Import the Linear Gauge Component Plugin from the EJ2 Vue Package and register the same using Vue.use() with Component Plugin as its argument.
Refer the code snippet given below.
import { LinearGaugePlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-lineargauge';
Vue.use(LinearGaugePlugin);Note: By Registering Component Plugin in Vue, all child directives are also globally registered.
Import the Linear Gauge Component and Plugin from EJ2 Vue Package, register the same using the Vue.component() with Linear Gauge component from LinearGaugePlugin and the EJ2 Vue Component as its arguments.
Refer the code snippet given below.
import { LinearGaugeComponent, LinearGaugePlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-lineargauge';
Vue.component(LinearGaugePlugin.name, LinearGaugerComponent);Note: By using Vue.component(), only the EJ2 Vue Component is registered. Child directives needs to be registered separately.
Add the EJ2 Vue Linear Gauge to the template section of the App.vue file in src directory using ejs-lineargauge tag. The content attribute of the Linear Gauge component is provided as name in the data option of the script section.
<template>
<div>
<div class="col-md-8 control-section">
<div class="content-wrapper">
<div align='center'>
<ejs-lineargauge ></ejs-lineargauge>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { LinearGaugePlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-lineargauge';
Vue.use(LinearGaugePlugin);
export default { }
</script>Now run the npm run dev command in the console to build the application and open the same in the browser.
npm run devThe below example shows a basic Linear Gauge component.
<template>
<div>
<div class="content-wrapper">
<div align='center'>
<ejs-lineargauge ></ejs-lineargauge>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { LinearGaugePlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-lineargauge';
Vue.use(LinearGaugePlugin);
export default { }
</script>
<style>
#content-wrapper {
padding: 0px !important;
}
</style>LinearGauge component is segregated into the individual feature-wise modules. In order to use a particular feature, inject its feature module using the provide: {}. Please find the feature module name and description as follows.
Now import the above mentioned modules from linear gauge package and inject it into the LinearGauge component using provide: {} .
import { LinearGaugePlugin, Annotations, GaugeTooltip } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-lineargauge";
provide: {
lineargauge: [Annotations, GaugeTooltip]
},The title can be added to the Linear Gauge component using the title property in the Linear Gauge.
<template>
<div>
<div class="content-wrapper">
<ejs-lineargauge style='display:block' :title ='title' ></ejs-lineargauge>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { LinearGaugePlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-lineargauge";
Vue.use(LinearGaugePlugin);
export default {
data: function () {
return {
title: 'linear gauge',
}
}
};
</script>
<style>
#content-wrapper {
padding: 0px !important;
}
</style>The range of the axis can be set using the minimum and maximum properties in the Linear Gauge.
<template>
<div>
<div class="content-wrapper">
<ejs-lineargauge >
<e-axes>
<e-axis minimum = 0 maximum = 200 ></e-axis>
</e-axes>
</ejs-lineargauge>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { LinearGaugePlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-lineargauge";
Vue.use(LinearGaugePlugin);
export default { };
</script>
<style>
#content-wrapper {
padding: 0px !important;
}
</style>To denote the axis labels with temperature units, add the °C as suffix to each label. This can be achieved by setting the {value}°C to the format property in the labelStyle object of the axis. Here, {value} acts as a placeholder for each axis label.
To change the pointer value from the default value of the gauge, set the value property in pointers object of the axis.
<template>
<div>
<div class="content-wrapper">
<div align='center'>
<ejs-lineargauge>
<e-axes>
<e-axis minimum = 0 maximum = 200 :ranges='ranges'>
<e-pointers>
<e-pointer value=140 ></e-pointer>
</e-pointers>
</e-axis>
</e-axes>
</ejs-lineargauge>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { LinearGaugePlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-lineargauge";
Vue.use(LinearGaugePlugin);
export default {
data: function () {
return {
labelStyle: {
format: '{value}°C'
},
ranges: [{
start: 0,
end: 80,
startWidth:15,
endWidth:15
}, {
start: 80,
end: 120,
startWidth:15,
endWidth:15
}, {
start: 120,
end: 140,
startWidth:15,
endWidth:15
}, {
start: 140,
end: 200,
startWidth:15,
endWidth:15
}]
}
}
};
</script>
<style>
#content-wrapper {
padding: 0px !important;
}
</style>The pointer value is changed in the below sample using the value property in pointers object of the axis.
<template>
<div>
<div class="content-wrapper">
<div align='center'>
<ejs-lineargauge>
<e-axes>
<e-axis minimum=0 maximum=200>
<e-pointers>
<e-pointer value=40 color='green'></e-pointer>
</e-pointers>
</e-axis>
</e-axes>
</ejs-lineargauge>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { LinearGaugePlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-lineargauge";
Vue.use(LinearGaugePlugin);
export default { };
</script>
<style>
#content-wrapper {
padding: 0px !important;
