ApexCharts offers a great level of interactivity out-of-the-box. It is highly customizable, with responsive design built-in. Additionally, it can work across most javascript libraries without additional work required. It is a newer library and may have a steeper learning curve than other library offerings.
Angular is a popular open-source framework developed by Google for building dynamic web applications. It's part of a broader ecosystem that includes tools and libraries designed to work together to enable efficient development of high-quality applications. Angular is known for its robustness, scalability, and ability to create single-page applications (SPAs) that offer a smooth, native-like user experience. Angular has a component-based architecture, enabling great modularity. Additionally, it is great at syncing data between a view and a model. It can have a steep learning curve, but has a great community and high performance.
To integrate ApexCharts with Angular, ensure you have Angular CLI installed on your system. This example will guide you through creating a basic line chart using ApexCharts within an Angular project. If you haven't already set up an Angular project, you can create one by running ng new my-apexchart-app
in your terminal.
Navigate to your Angular project directory in the terminal and run the following commands:
npm install apexcharts --save
npm install ng-apexcharts --save
Open the app.module.ts
file and import NgApexchartsModule
from ng-apexcharts
. Add NgApexchartsModule
to the imports array of your NgModule:
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { NgApexchartsModule } from 'ng-apexcharts';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
NgApexchartsModule
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
In your Angular application, you may now create a component that will render the ApexChart. Here's how to generate a new component named chart
:
ng generate component chart
In your chart.component.ts
, first import ApexOptions
from ng-apexcharts
to define the type of your chart options. Then, define your chart's options like series, chart type, title, etc., as shown below:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { ApexOptions } from 'ng-apexcharts';
@Component({
selector: 'app-chart',
templateUrl: './chart.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./chart.component.css']
})
export class ChartComponent {
public chartOptions: ApexOptions;
constructor() {
this.chartOptions = {
series: [
{
name: "Sample Series",
data: [10, 41, 35, 51, 49, 62, 69, 91, 148]
}
],
chart: {
height: 350,
type: "line"
},
title: {
text: "My First Angular Chart"
},
xaxis: {
categories: ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep"]
}
};
}
}
Modify the chart.component.html
file to include the apx-chart
tag, which renders the chart. Set its [series]
, [chart]
, [xaxis]
, and [title]
inputs to the chartOptions
you defined:
<div>
<apx-chart
[series]="chartOptions.series"
[chart]="chartOptions.chart"
[title]="chartOptions.title"
[xaxis]="chartOptions.xaxis">
</apx-chart>
</div>
Now, when you serve your Angular application using ng serve
, you should see a beautiful line chart rendered on the page, based on the data and configuration you provided in your Angular component.
This is a basic example to get you started with ApexCharts in Angular. ApexCharts offer a wide range of chart types and options for customization, so be sure to explore the library's documentation for more advanced features and capabilities.
