react-d3-speedometer

React library for showing speedometer like gauge using d3.

Note: v2.x is compatible with React v18. v1.x is compatible with React 17. Please use latest v0.x (v0.14.1 at the time of writing) if you are using React 16.

• Getting Started
• Configuration Options
• Examples
• FAQ
• Ports

Getting Started:

Install with yarn or npm.

Yarn:

yarn add react-d3-speedometer

npm:

npm install --save react-d3-speedometer

And, use it like

// import the component
import ReactSpeedometer from "react-d3-speedometer"
// and just use it
<ReactSpeedometer />

Slim Build:

There is a Slim build available without bundling d3. This project uses d3 micro bundles. If your project also uses d3 microbundles, you can opt for slim build. Necessary d3 dependencies required for slim build to work are - d3-array, d3-color, d3-ease, d3-format, d3-interpolate, d3-scale, d3-selection, d3-shape, d3-transition.

// sample slim build usage
import ReactSpeedometer from "react-d3-speedometer/slim"
// and use it
<ReactSpeedometer />

Live Examples

Configuration Options:

prop	type	default	comments
value	Number	0	Make sure your value is between your minValue and maxValue
minValue	Number	0
maxValue	Number	1000
segments	Number	5	Number of segments in the speedometer. Please note, segments is calculated with d3-ticks which is an approximate count that is uniformly spaced between min and max. Please refer to d3-ticks and d3-array ticks for more detailed info.
maxSegmentLabels	Number	value from 'segments' prop	Limit the number of segment labels to displayed. This is useful for acheiving a gradient effect by giving arbitrary large number of segments and limiting the labels with this prop. See Live Example. Please note, maxSegmentLabels is calculated with d3-ticks which is an approximate count that is uniformly spaced between min and max. Please refer to d3-ticks and d3-array ticks for more detailed info.
forceRender	Boolean	false	After initial rendering/mounting, when props change, only the value is changed and animated to maintain smooth visualization. But, if you want to force rerender the whole component like change in segments, colors, dimensions etc, you can use this option to force rerender of the whole component on props change.
width	Number	300	diameter of the speedometer and the width of the svg element
height	Number	300	height of the svg element. Height of the speedometer is always half the width since it is a semi-circle. For fluid width, please refere to fluidWidth config
dimensionUnit	String	px	Default to px for width/height. Possible values - "em" , "ex" , "px" , "in" , "cm" , "mm" , "pt" , ,"pc" ... Please refer to specification for more details
fluidWidth	Boolean	false	If true takes the width of the parent component. See Live Example for more details
needleColor	String	steelblue	Should be a valid color code - colorname, hexadecimal name or rgb value. Should be a valid input for d3.interpolateHsl
startColor	String	#FF471A	Should be a valid color code - colorname, hexadecimal name or rgb value. Should be a valid input for d3.interpolateHsl
endColor	String	#33CC33	Should be a valid color code - colorname, hexadecimal name or rgb value. Should be a valid input for d3.interpolateHsl
segmentColors	Array (of colors)	[]	Custom segment colors can be given with this option. Should be an array of valid color codes. If this option is given startColor and endColor options will be ignored.
needleTransition	String (JS) / Transition (TS)	easeQuadInOut	d3-easing-identifiers - easeLinear, easeQuadIn, easeQuadOut, easeQuadInOut, easeCubicIn, easeCubicOut, easeCubicInOut, easePolyIn, easePolyOut, easePolyInOut, easeSinIn, easeSinOut, easeSinInOut, easeExpIn, easeExpOut, easeExpInOut, easeCircleIn, easeCircleOut, easeCircleInOut, easeBounceIn, easeBounceOut, easeBounceInOut, easeBackIn, easeBackOut, easeBackInOut, easeElasticIn, easeElasticOut, easeElasticInOut, easeElastic. There is a helper Object/Type 'Transtion', which you can import like import { Transition } from 'react-d3-speedometer' and use it like Transition.easeElastic. This works for both JS and Typescript. For type(script) definitions, please refer here.
needleTransitionDuration	Number	500	Time in milliseconds.
needleHeightRatio	Float (between 0 and 1)	0.9	Control the height of the needle by giving a number/float between 0 and 1. Default height ratio is 0.9.
ringWidth	Number	60	Width of the speedometer ring.
textColor	String	#666	Should be a valid color code - colorname, hexadecimal name or rgb value. Used for both showing the current value and the segment values
valueFormat	String		should be a valid format for d3-format. By default, no formatter is used. You can use a valid d3 format identifier (for eg: d to convert float to integers), to format the values. Note: This formatter affects all the values (current value, segment values) displayed in the speedometer
currentValueText	String	${value}	Should be provided a string which should have ${value} placeholder which will be replaced with current value. By default, current value is shown (formatted with valueFormat). For example, if current Value is 333 if you would like to show Current Value: 333, you should provide a string Current Value: ${value}. See Live Example
currentValuePlaceholderStyle	String	${value}	Should be provided a placeholder string which will be replaced with current value in currentValueTextProp. For example: you can use ruby like interpolation by giving following props - <ReactSpeedometer currentValueText="Current Value: #{value}" currentValuePlaceholderStyle={"#{value}"} />. This is also helpful if you face no-template-curly-in-string eslint warnings and would like to use different placeholder for current value
customSegmentStops	Array	[]	Array of values starting at min value, and ending at max value. This configuration is useful if you would like to split the segments at custom points or have unequal segments at preferred values. If the values does not begin and end with min and max value respectively, an error will be thrown. This configuration will override segments prop, since total number of segments will be length - 1 of customSegmentProps. For example, [0, 50, 75, 100] value will have three segments - 0-50, 50-75, 75-100. See Live Example
customSegmentLabels	Array<CustomSegmentLabel>	[]	Takes an array of CustomSegmentLabel objects. Each object has following keys for custom rendering of labels - text, fontSize, color, position: OUTSIDE/INSIDE. For position, there is a helper CustomSegmentLabelPosition Object/Type which you can import like import { CustomSegmentLabelPosition } from 'react-d3-speedometer', and use it like CustomSegmentLabelPosition.Inside / CustomSegmentLabelPosition.Outside. This works for both JS and Typescript. For type(script) definitions, please refer here.
labelFontSize	String	14px	Font size for segment labels/legends
valueTextFontSize	String	16px	Font size for current value text
valueTextFontWeight	String	bold	Font weight for current value text. Any valid font weight identifier (500, bold etc) can be used.
paddingHorizontal	Number	0	Provides right/left space for the label text. Takes a number (without explicit unit, unit will be taken from dimensionUnit config which defaults to px). Helpful when using a bigger font size for label texts.
paddingVertical	Number	0	Provides top/bottom space for the current value label text below the needle. Takes a number (without explicit unit, unit will be taken from dimensionUnit config which defaults to px). Helpful when using a bigger font size for label texts.
svgAriaLabel	String	React d3 speedometer	SVG aria-label property for Accessibility purposes

// render a component initially
<ReactSpeedometer
  width={200}
  height={200}
/>
// Now, if given forceRender: true, and change the appearance all together, the component will rerender completely on props change
<ReactSpeedometer
  forceRender={true}
  segments={15}
  width={500}
  height={500}
/>

FAQ:

1. How to use with nextjs?

   react-d3-speedometer uses lodash-es dependency for better tree shaking. For nextjs, please use next-transpile-modules, so that ES module exports from lodash-es package is properly transpiled. You can also nextjs dynamic imports - https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/dynamic-import#with-no-ssr

Please refer to this issue for more details on how to make this library work with next.js - https://github.com/palerdot/react-d3-speedometer/issues/89
