Installation

Utility extension can be installed via npm easily from our public npm repository. The installation is pretty easy via Smartface Cloud IDE. Run the following code in terminal

(cd ~/workspace/scripts && npm i -S sf-extension-amcharts)

How to use

Please review the sampe page.

  1. require AMCharts
const AMCharts = require("sf-extension-amcharts");
  1. Create your AMCharts instance
var amCharts = new AMCharts({
     webView: wvChart //optional. If not provided use the the one amCharts.webView
});

Ready is a Promise. It is a good practice to run other codes when the promise is resolved.

  1. When the chart web page is ready, install other AMCharts libraries.
amCharts.loadScritsByName("serial");
//OR load multiple files
amCharts.loadScritsByName("serial", "funnel");

This loadScritsByName function loads files within assets/amcharts/amcharts folder. Those libraries are the libraries that AMCharts provides as is. loadScritsByName function returns a Promise. When it is done, the libraries are loaded.

  1. It is a good practice to run the Chart code with data after the libraries are loaded
amCharts.evaluateJS(chartScript);

In the example above chartScript is a string that contains the JavaScript code to render the Chart and its data. In the webPage there is a div element with id chartdiv. Use this div element to render your chart.

Quick Run

After installation please add the following code to the app.js by commenting out the other run codes.

Router.add("pgChart", require("sf-extension-amcharts/sample/pgChart"));
Router.go("pgChart");

Coding Advice

Running & rendering of the chart can take time. You can show an activity indicator while the chart is being rendered. After your last evaluateJS callback you can change the visibities of the ActivityIndicator and the WebView.
