angular-abc v0.4.6

Angular Bound Charts v 0.4.6

DEPRECATED: This library is no longer maintained

Customisable SVG charts with live data & settings, completely bound to AngularJS with no other dependencies

This release is compatible with all modern browsers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE, Opera

This is a reasonably new project (with only myself working on it currently), but I plan on keeping it updated, improving performance & will be adding tests & extensive documentation shortly.

Feel free to fork or give suggestions for features. Constructive criticism is welcome.

Demo

Getting started

These instructions apply to an application setup using Yeoman but can easily be adjusted to your needs.

1. First you'll have to add ABC to your bower.json, I'd suggest pinning a specific version using =. The version at the time of writing this is 0.3.0.

       "dependencies": {
           ...
           "angular-abc": "=0.3.0"
           ...
       }

2. You'll need to reference the main ABC javascript file in your index.html like so:

   <script src="bower_components/angular-abc/scripts/abc.js"></script>

3. This will also need referencing in your main javascript file (e.g. app.js)

   angular.module('myApp', [
       ...
       'angularAbc'
       ...
   ])

4. Now we have to adjust our gruntfile.js to copy the views (e.g. abc.html) to a location where they can be loaded after your application has been built & deployed. In my application it looks something like this:

   copy: {
       abc: {
           files: [{
               expand: true,
               cwd: '<%= yeoman.app %>/bower_components/angular-abc/views/',
               dest: '<%= yeoman.dist %>/bower_components/angular-abc/views/',
               src: '*.html',
           flatten: true
           }]
       }
   }

5. I then call copy:abc in my build task just after copy:dist

   grunt.registerTask('build', [
       ...
       'copy:dist',
       'copy:abc',
       ...
   ]);

6. If you plan on running any tests using karma you'll have to include ABC in your karma.conf.js file

   files: [
     ...
     'bower_components/angular-abc/scripts/abc.js',
     ...
   ],

Implementation

1. Prepare your data to use with ABC. I'd recommend using the ABC service to transform your data.

   app.controller('MainCtrl', ['$scope', 'ABC', function ($scope, ABC) {
   
       ...
   
       $scope.myChart = {
           data: ABC.transformData($scope.data),
           headers: ABC.transformHeaders($scope.data)
       }
   
       ...
   
   });

2. Add the ABC element with a data attribute linking to your transformed data / ABC settings.

   <abc data="myChart"></abc>

3. Tune the settings to your liking. The following settings are all optional.

   $scope.myChart = {
   
       // Classes for styling
       class: 'abc-chart',
       focusClass: 'abc-focus',
       nofocusClass 'abc-nofocus',
   
       // These hovering indices are used to focus on data from outside ABC
       hovering: {
           x: -1,
           y: -1
       },
   
       // Size settings
       width: 800,
       height: 200,
       resize: {
           width: true,
           height: false
       },
   
       // Element styling
       margin: 12,
       lineWidth: 2,
       axisLineWidth: 1,
       axisTickWidth: 1,
       axisTickSize: 4,
       pointSize: 2.5,
       pointHoverSize: 4,
   
       // Axis options
       xAxisLabelOffset: 0.5, // Offset by 0.5 ticks
       xAxisLabelCulling: true, // Automatically hides some axis labels when needed
   
       // Chart colors
       colors: ['#d24949', '#e59648', '#4f8f47', '#316e93', '#684c8a'],
   
       // Regions
       regions: [
         {
           start: 0,
           end: 1,
           color: 'red',
           title: 'Region 1',
           size: 12,
           titleY: 'top', // 'top', 'center', 'bottom', or number e.g. 0.5 (half) or 0.75 (3 quarters)
           opacity: 0.2 // Set highlight opacity of region, defaults to 0.2
         }
       ],
   
       // Bands
       bands: [
         {
           start: 0, // Start & end can be exact values
           end: 'bottom', // Start & End can be 'top' or 'bottom'
           color: 'red',
           title: 'Lower band',
           size: 10
         }
       ],
   
       // Text transforms
       transforms: {
           yLabels: function,
           xLabels: function,
           popupLabels: function,
           popupValues: function,
           popupHeaders: function
       }
   
       // Title settings
       title: {
           content: 'My Chart',
           size: 12,
           margin: 4,
           align: 'center' // center, left or right
       },
   
       // Transformed data & headers
       data: ABC.transformData($scope.data),
       headers: ABC.transformHeaders($scope.data)
   }
