DataViz

DataViz charts visually represent data to effectively communicate information and patterns. There are multiple charts availables like Bar, Grouped Bar, Stacked Bar, Line, and Donut. Use these charts to represent complex data in a visual format.

You can control whether to show legends, grid, tooltip, change the format of the tick labels, and change the position of the legend.

You can also customize the colors of the bars and lines.

The charts are all reponsive and adapts to the screen size seemlessly.

Usage

import React from "react"
import {
  BarChart
} from "@asphalt-react/data-viz"

const data = [
  {
    date: "2012-05-13",
    "New York": "65.3",
    "San Francisco": "52.0",
    Austin: "72.4",
  },
  {
    date: "2012-05-14",
    "New York": "64.2",
    "San Francisco": "56.0",
    Austin: "72.5",
  }
]

export const BasicBarChart = ({ ...props }) => {
  return (
    <div style={{ width: "100%", height: "400px" }}>
      <BarChart data={data} dataKey="date" />
    </div>
  )
}

Types

There are multiple types of data visualization components. You can use any of them as per your use-case.

1. BarChart
2. LineChart
3. DonutChart

Responsive behavior

We set a minimum width of "312px" and a minimum height of "360px". The minimum height excludes the legends, as their wrapping behavior depends on the number of legends and available space.

All charts stretch to fit their container. Ensure you account for the legend height when defining the height of the container as the legend's height is dynamic becuse of it's wrapping behaviour.

BarChart

Bar chart which can display multiple data series, grouped, stack or side by side. Also supports both vertical and horizontal layout.

Props

data

Bar chart data.

Example:

[
  {
    month: "Jan",
    customers: 4350,
    attrition: 120
  },
  {
    month: "Feb",
    customers: 6600,
    attrition: 220
  }
]

To enhance the user experience, limit the number of bars to 20. In case of grouped, limit the sets to 8.

colors

Colors of individual bars in a grouped or stack bar chart. Use this prop to override the default set of colors. Accepts an object with the key mapped to the key of the bar, and the value mapped to the color value.

For instance:

const data = [
  {
    month: "Jan",
    customers: 4350,
    attrition: 120
  },
  {
    month: "Feb",
    customers: 6600,
    attrition: 220
  }
]

const colors = { customers: "#497aaa", attrition: "#666666" }

dataKey

Key of the datum to index the data.

For instance:

const data = [
  {
    month: "Jan",
    customers: 4350,
    attrition: 120
  },
  {
    month: "Feb",
    customers: 6600,
    attrition: 220
  }
]

Use "month" as the dataKey. This plots the "month" on x-axis, whereas in case of horizontal bar charts, plots the data on y-axis.

xAxisLabel

Label for X-axis.

yAxisLabel

Label for Y-axis.

showGrid

Show grid lines.

showLegend

Show chart legend.

legendTop

Position the legends at the top.

xTickFormat

Formats the default x-axis tick label.

tickLabel - tick label value. return value should be string|number.

For instance:

(tickLabel) => {
 // return the formatted label
}

yTickFormat

Formats the default y-axis tick label.

tickLabel - tick label value. return value should be "string|number".

For instance:

(tickLabel) => {
 // return the formatted label
}

tooltip

React node to pass your own tooltip.

viewTooltip

Show tooltip.

onMouseHover

Returns the value of the bar on mouse hover.

• event - browser event.
• currentData - the current data on which the mouse is hovering.
• groupData - the entire group which the current data is part of.

(event, { currentData, groupData }) => {}

horizontal

Enable horizontal view.

stack

Enable stack view.

LineChart

These display data points connected by straight lines. They are commonly used to show trends over time.

Props

data

Line chart data.

Example:

[
  {
    month: "Jan",
    customers: 4350,
    attrition: 120
  },
  {
    month: "Feb",
    customers: 6600,
    attrition: 220
  }
]

• To enhance the user experience, limit the number of lines to 20.

For instance:

const data = [
  {
    month: "Jan",
    customers: 4350,
    attrition: 120
  },
  {
    month: "Feb",

DonutChart

Donut charts are probably the most commonly used charts. They are divided into segments, the arc of each segment shows the proportional value of each piece of data.
