Your package.json
after installation:
"dependencies": {
"@devexperts/dxcharts-lite": "1.0.0",

}
Create chart
If you use webpack or any other bundler - import createChart
method and pass element where the chart will be rendered as a first argument.
export const createChartInstance = () => {
const container = document.getElementById('chart_container');
const chartInstance = DXChart.createChart(container);
return chartInstance;
};
createChart
- method, that creates a new chart instance using ChartBootstrap class and returns it.
Method accepts 2 parameters:
element
- The HTML element where the chart will be renderedconfig
(optional) - instance of ChartConfig
Also, please, set width: 100%
and height: 100%
for parent container
by default chart is auto-resizing to parent
you can change it by setting fixedSize
in config
Now you should have empty chart on screen.
Set data
Let's pass in some data i.e. Candles
. You can use bundled function to generate some mock data.
Import generateCandlesData
and call it to generate candles.
export const generateMockData = () => {
const candles = generateCandlesData();
chart.setData({ candles });
};
Now you should see chart just like image below:
