vue-apexcharts

Vue.js wrapper for ApexCharts to build interactive visualizations in vue.

Download and Installation

Installing via npm

Usage

import VueApexCharts from 'vue-apexcharts'

To create a basic bar chart with minimal configuration, write as follows:

<template>
   <div>
     <apexcharts width="500" type="bar" :options="chartOptions" :series="series"></apexcharts>
   </div>
</template>

import vueApexcharts from './../apexcharts-vue/index'

export default {
    components: {
      apexcharts: vueApexcharts,
    },
    data: function() {
      return {
        chartOptions: {
          chart: {
            id: 'vuechart-example'
          },
          xaxis: {
            categories: [1991,1992,1993,1994,1995,1996,1997, 1998,1999]
          }
        },
        series: [{
          name: 'series-1',
          data: [30,40,45,50,49,60,70,91]
        }]
      }
    },
};

This will render the following chart

How do I update the chart?

Simple! Just change the series or any option and it will automatically re-render the chart. Have a loot at the below example

<template>
   <div class="app">
     <apexcharts width="550" type="bar" :options="chartOptions" :series="series"></apexcharts>
     <div>
       <button @click="updateChart">Update!</button>
    </div>
   </div>
   
</template>

export default {
    data: function() {
      return {
        chartOptions: {
          chart: {
            id: 'vuechart-example',
          },
          xaxis: {
            categories: [1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998],
          },
        },
        series: [{
          name: 'series-1',
          data: [30, 40, 45, 50, 49, 60, 70, 81]
        }]
      }
    },
    methods: {
      updateChart() {
        const max = 90;
        const min = 20;
        const newData = this.series[0].data.map(() => {
          return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min
        })

        const colors = ['#008FFB', '#00E396', '#FEB019', '#FF4560', '#775DD0']

        // Make sure to update the whole options config and not just a single property to allow the Vue watch catch the change.
        this.chartOptions = {
          colors: [colors[Math.floor(Math.random()*colors.length)]]
        };
        // In the same way, update the series option
        this.series = [{
          data: newData
        }]
      }
    }
};

How to call methods of ApexCharts programatically?

Sometimes, you may want to call other methods of the core ApexCharts library, and you can do so on this.$apexcharts global variable directly

Example

this.$apexcharts.exec('vuechart-example', 'updateSeries', [{
  data: [40, 55, 65, 11, 23, 44, 54, 33]
}])

More info on the .exec() method can be found here

All other methods of ApexCharts can be called this way
