Carbon Charts Vue

Carbon Charts Vue library

The library provides front-end developers & engineers a collection of reusable charting components to build websites and user interfaces. Adopting the library enables developers to use consistent markup, styles, and behavior in prototype and production work.

Install

Using yarn


$ yarn add @carbon/charts @carbon/charts-vue d3

If you prefer npm


$ npm install --save @carbon/charts @carbon/charts-vue d3

Getting started

To start using the StackedBarChart component, try the example below:

hello-world.vue
<script>
  import Vue from 'vue';
  import '@carbon/charts/styles.css';
  import chartsVue from '@carbon/charts-vue';
  Vue.use(chartsVue);
  export default {
    name: 'HelloWorld',
    components: {},
    data() {
      return {
        stackedBarData: {
          // ...see next section
        },
        stackedBarOptions: {
          // ...see next section
        },
      };
    },
    template:
      '<ccv-stacked-bar-chart :data="stackedBarData" :options="stackedBarOptions"></ccv-bar-chart>',
  };
</script>

Data and options

Data and options follow the same model in all charts, with minor exceptions and differences in specific components.

For instance, in the case of pie and donut charts, you would only provide one data set. In the case of donut charts, you can pass in an additional field called center in your options configuring the donut center.

There are also additional options available depending on the chart type being used, for more examples please see here.

Below are sample data and options that can be used in a stacked bar chart:

const stackedBarData = {
  labels: ['Quantity', 'Leads', 'Sold', 'Restocking', 'Misc'],
  datasets: [
    {
      label: 'Dataset 1',
      data: [65000, 29123, 35213, 51213, 16932],
    },
    {
      label: 'Dataset 2',
      data: [32432, 21312, 56456, 21312, 34234],
    },
    {
      label: 'Dataset 3',
      data: [12312, 23232, 34232, 12312, 34234],
    },
  ],
};
const stackedBarOptions = {
  title: 'Stacked bar (discrete)',
  axes: {
    left: {
      primary: true,
      stacked: true,
    },
    bottom: {
      scaleType: 'labels',
      secondary: true,
    },
  },
  height: '400px',
};
