React-liquidchart

A Nice looking liquid chart done with d3 and react, based off http://bl.ocks.org/brattonc/5e5ce9beee483220e2f6

I will put up an example page when I am finished with all the graph types that I want to do and use - about 4 -5 more.

Install from NPM

npm install react-liquidchart

Usage

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import { Chart, Liquid, Gradient } from 'react-liquidchart';

class ChartLiquid extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.onClick = this.onClick.bind(this);
    this.state = ({
      value: (Math.random() * 100),
    });
  }

  onClick() {
    this.setState({
      value: (Math.random() * 100),
    });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div
        style={{
          width: '100%',
          height: '500px',
        }}
      >
        <Chart
          responsive
          gradient="liquid"
        >
          <Liquid
            animate
            animateWaves
            onClick={this.onClick}
            amplitude={4}
            value={this.state.value}

          />
          <Gradient />
        </Chart>
      </div>
    );
  }
}
render(<ChartLiquid />, document.getElementById('app'));

Simpler version but with no gradient control

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import LiquidChart from 'react-liquidchart';

class ChartLiquid extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.onClick = this.onClick.bind(this);
    this.state = ({
      value: (Math.random() * 100),
    });
  }

  onClick() {
    this.setState({
      value: (Math.random() * 100),
    });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div
        style={{
          width: '100%',
          height: '500px',
        }}
      >
        <LiquidChart
          responsive
          gradient="liquid"
          animate
          ease='easeBackIn'
          animateWaves
          onClick={this.onClick}
          amplitude={4}
          value={this.state.value}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}
render(<ChartLiquid />, document.getElementById('app'));

Components

This chart is broken down into components.

Chart

This is the container that renders the SVG element and the children. It can keep the chart responsive so you dont have to worry about the width and heigth if you have a responsive layout.

Chart PropTypes

Name	Type	Default	Description
responsive	boolean	true	Rerenders the chart on screen resize
width	boolean	true	sets the width of the component, if responsive is true then it will take fill out into the parent container
height	boolean	true	sets the height of the component, the same applies here to the responsive prop.
gradient	string	null	If you want a more watery liquid you can add a lineargradient but you have to set this value to a string variable and also add the component

Liquid

This is the main element that renders all the visable elements in the chart along with one defs for the clipPath.

Liquid PropTypes

Name	Type	Default	Description
Value	number	65	The value
animate	bool	false	If true then the chart is animated
animateWaves	bool	false	if true then the waves will loop between the liquid radius and 0 forever, still a minor bug in this.
outerRadius	number	0.9	This is the outerRadius of the chart where 1 would be 100% of the radius and 0 would be 0% of the radius..
innerRadius	number	0.8	The innerwidth of the outerpath surronding the liquid, again 0.8 would be 80% of the radius.
margin	number	0.025	The margin between the outer path and the liquid, here 0.025 would be 2.5%
ease	string	'easeCubicInOut'	The name of the d3 easing function, other values like, easeBack, easeBackInOut, easeSinInOut, easeExpInOut. See d3 easing page for more ideas.
animationTime	number	2000	milliseconds for animation length
amplitude	number	2	The Amplitude X * sine(frequency) part of the formula
frequency	number	4	Still have to fix this one, this is actually the inverse of frequency it's sine(x/freq) so the higher the number the smoother the wave.
waveScaleLimit	bool	true	This is in the original, this will create a scale that limits the wave height close to 0 or 100
outerArcStyle	shape	{ fill: 'rgb(23,139,202)'}	The style of the outerarc fill and stroke
liquid	shape	{ fill: 'rgb(23, 139, 202)'}	The style of the liquid, fill and stroke
liquidNumber	shape	{fill: 'rgb(164, 219, 248)'}	The style of the number that is in the liquid, fill and stroke
number	shape	{fill: 'rgb(4, 86, 129)'}	The style of the number that is not in the liquid, fill and stroke

Gradient

This component is nothing more than an ultra thin wrapper around a linearGradient defs.

It takes in stop to create the gradient effect.

But by default it uses shades of the liquid.fill color to create a ultra simple gradient.

Gradient PropTypes

Name	Type	Default	Description
x1	number	0	The X start coordinate
x2	number	0	The X end coordinate
y1	number	100	The Y start coordinate, remember it starts on the bottom :)
y2	number	0	The Y end coordinate

LiquidChart PropTypes

All of the above propTypes apply, except you cant insert the stop children into the gradient so it just uses the liquid.fill color to create the gradient.

TODO

1. Write some tests
2. Break up liquid component
3. Create a Text Component
