Getting Started

Requirements

  • Node.js, NPM/Yarn installed globally in your OS.
  • You've an Angular Application.
  • FusionCharts installed in your project, as detailed below:

Installation

To install angular-fusioncharts library, run:

$ npm install angular-fusioncharts --save

To install fusioncharts library:

$ npm install fusioncharts --save

Quick Start

Here is a basic sample that shows how to create a chart using angular-fusioncharts:

Add this in your Angular AppModule:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

// Import angular-fusioncharts
import { FusionChartsModule } from 'angular-fusioncharts';

// Import FusionCharts library and chart modules
import * as FusionCharts from 'fusioncharts';
import * as Charts from 'fusioncharts/fusioncharts.charts';

// For Powercharts , Widgets, and Maps
// import * as PowerCharts from 'fusioncharts/fusioncharts.powercharts';
// import * as Widgets from 'fusioncharts/fusioncharts.widgets';
// import * as Maps from 'fusioncharts/fusioncharts.maps';
// To know more about suites,
// read this https://www.fusioncharts.com/dev/getting-started/plain-javascript/install-using-plain-javascript

// For Map definition files
// import * as World from 'fusioncharts/maps/fusioncharts.world';

import * as FusionTheme from 'fusioncharts/themes/fusioncharts.theme.fusion';

// Pass the fusioncharts library and chart modules
FusionChartsModule.fcRoot(FusionCharts, Charts, FusionTheme);

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    // Specify FusionChartsModule as import
    FusionChartsModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

Once the library is imported, you can use its components, directives in your Angular application:

In your Angular AppComponent:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html'
})
export class AppComponent {
  dataSource: Object;
  title: string;

  constructor() {
    this.title = 'Angular  FusionCharts Sample';

    this.dataSource = {
      chart: {
        caption: 'Countries With Most Oil Reserves [2017-18]',
        subCaption: 'In MMbbl = One Million barrels',
        xAxisName: 'Country',
        yAxisName: 'Reserves (MMbbl)',
        numberSuffix: 'K',
        theme: 'fusion'
      },
      data: [
        { label: 'Venezuela', value: '290' },
        { label: 'Saudi', value: '260' },
        { label: 'Canada', value: '180' },
        { label: 'Iran', value: '140' },
        { label: 'Russia', value: '115' },
        { label: 'UAE', value: '100' },
        { label: 'US', value: '30' },
        { label: 'China', value: '30' }
      ]
    };
  }
}

<!-- You can now use fusioncharts component in app.component.html -->
<h1>
  {{title}}
</h1>
<fusioncharts
    width="600"
    height="350"
    type="Column2D"
    dataFormat="JSON"
    [dataSource]="dataSource"
></fusioncharts>

Working with Events

Fusincharts events can be subscribed from component's output params.
Usage in template :

<fusioncharts
  width="600"
  height="350"
  type="Column2D"
  dataFormat="json"
  [dataSource]="dataSource"
  (dataplotRollOver)="plotRollOver($event)">
</fusioncharts>

And in component's code , $event will be an object { eventObj : {...}, dataObj: {...} }
For more on this read here

import {Component} from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html'
})
export class AppComponent {
  dataSource: Object;
  title: string;

  constructor() {
    this.title = "Angular  FusionCharts Sample";

    this.dataSource = {
      ...// same data as above
    };
  }



  plotRollOver($event){
    var dataValue = $event.dataObj.dataValue;
    console.log(`Value is ${dataValue}`);
  }

}

Working with APIs

Using api of charts involves getting the FusionCharts chart instance from the initialized event. It emits chart object which can be operated upon later.

In template, we add initialized event

<fusioncharts
  type="column2d"
  width="100%"
  height="400"
  dataFormat="json"
  [dataSource]="dataSource"
  (initialized)="initialized($event)">
</fusioncharts>
<button (click)="changeLabel()">Change label</button>

And in component's code , we get $event as { chart : ChartInstance }

So in order to use the chart instance , we need to store the chart instance.

import {Component} from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html'
})
export class AppComponent {
  dataSource: Object;
  title: string;
  chart: any;
  constructor() {
    this.title = "Angular  FusionCharts Sample";

    this.dataSource = {
      ...// same data as above
    };
  }

  initialized($event){
    this.chart = $event.chart; // Storing the chart instance
  }

  changeLabel(){
    this.chart.setChartAttribute('caption', 'Changed caption');
  }

}
