solid-apexcharts

Build interactive visualizations in Solid. Powered by ApexCharts.

Quick start

Install it:

npm install apexcharts solid-apexcharts

Use it:

import { SolidApexCharts } from 'solid-apexcharts';

function App() {
  const [options] = createSignal({
    xaxis: {
      categories: [1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998],
    },
  });
  const [series] = createSignal([
    {
      name: 'series-1',
      data: [30, 40, 35, 50, 49, 60, 70, 91],
    },
  ]);

  return <SolidApexCharts width="500" type="bar" options={options()} series={series()} />;
}

This will render the following chart

Props

type*	String	line, area, bar, pie, donut, scatter, bubble, heatmap, radialBar, candlestick, polarArea
width	Number/String	Possible values for width can be 100% or 400px or 400
height	Number/String	Possible values for height can be 100% or 300px or 300
options	Object	The configuration object, see options on API (Reference)

How do I update the chart?

Simple! Just change the series or any option and it will automatically re-render the chart.

Here's an example updating the chart data with some random series to illustrate the point.

import { SolidApexCharts } from 'solid-apexcharts';

function App() {
  const options = {
    xaxis: {
      categories: [1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998],
    },
  };
  const [series, setSeries] = createSignal([
    {
      name: 'series-1',
      data: [30, 40, 35, 50, 49, 60, 70, 91],
    },
  ]);

  onMount(() => {
    const max = 90;
    const min = 20;

    setInterval(() => {
      setSeries((prevSeries) => {
        const newData = prevSeries[0].data.map(() => {
          return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min
        })

        return [{ name: 'series-1', data: newData }]
      });
    }, 1000)
  })

  return <SolidApexCharts type="bar" options={options} series={series()} />;
}

Methods

Changing the props will automatically update the chart. You only need to call these methods to update the chart forcefully.

import ApexCharts from 'apexcharts';

function App() {
  let chartRef: ApexCharts;

  function updateChart() {
    chartRef.updateOptions({ colors: newColors });
  }

  return <SolidApexCharts ref={chartRef} />;
}

How to call methods of ApexCharts without referencing the chart element?

Target the chart by its id to call the methods from some other place

import ApexCharts from 'apexcharts';

// or for ESM build
// import ApexCharts from 'apexcharts/dist/apexcharts.esm.js'

const [options] = createSignal({
  chart: {
    id: 'example',
  },
  // Other options
});

ApexCharts.exec('example', 'updateSeries', [
  {
    name: 'series-1',
    data: [60, 40, 20, 50, 49, 60, 95, 72],
  },
]);
