ReactJS Chart Component

The Chart component for ReactJS represents a lightweight and powerful chart widget. It offers many advanced features and supports three different rendering technologies - SVG, HTML5 Canvas & VML.

Prerequisites

Refer to ReactJS Getting Started before you start with this help topic.

Configuration

The Chart component for ReactJS requires the following imports.

 
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
 
import JqxChart from 'jqwidgets-react/react_jqxchart.js';
 

Then we create our component class. Properties and methods are put as ReactJS props.

  
class App extends React.Component {
  render () {
    return (
        <JqxChart 
            style={{ width: 850, height: 500 }}
            showLegend={true} enableAnimations={true}
            source={dataAdapter} xAxis={xAxis}
            valueAxis={valueAxis} seriesGroups={seriesGroups}
        />
    )
  }
}
 

Finally we render our class in the desired HTML element:

Events Methods & Properties

In order to bind to any event, change any property or call any method, we need a reference to the component.
For that we use the ReactJS "ref" Callback Attribute:

Now, when we have a reference, we need to call the desired event/property/method.
This is done in the componentDidMount() ReactJS Component Lifecycle method.

Events

The click event is raised when the user clicks on series element.

The following example demonstrates how to add an event listener.

Methods & Properties

This is how you call methods & props:

Every component have a method setOptions which accepts a object as an argument. This object contains component settings.

Every component also have a method getOptions which returns a object containing the component settings.
