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.
Vue.js is a progressive JavaScript framework used for building user interfaces and single-page applications (SPAs). It was created by Evan You and is designed to be incrementally adoptable. The core library focuses on the view layer only, making it easy to pick up and integrate with other libraries or existing projects. Vue is also perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications when used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries. It has a virtual DOM for faster and more efficient manipulation, composable components, and a relatively low learning curve. It is great for ease-of-use, performance, and overall developer experience.
ApexCharts is a modern charting library that helps to create beautiful and interactive visualizations for web pages. When integrated with Vue.js, it makes creating reactive and interactive charts a breeze. Below is a basic example of how to use ApexCharts within a Vue.js application.
First, ensure you have ApexCharts and Vue-ApexCharts installed in your project:
npm install apexcharts vue-apexcharts --save
Next, in your Vue component, you need to import ApexCharts and use it as a plugin.
<template>
<div id="app">
<apexchart
type="bar"
:options="chartOptions"
:series="series"
></apexchart>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import VueApexCharts from 'vue-apexcharts'
export default {
name: 'ChartExample',
components: {
apexchart: VueApexCharts,
},
data() {
return {
chartOptions: {
chart: {
id: 'vuechart-example'
},
xaxis: {
categories: [1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997]
}
},
series: [{
name: 'series-1',
data: [30, 40, 45, 50, 49, 60, 70, 91]
}]
}
}
}
</script>
<style>
/* Add any style you want for your chart container */
#app {
max-width: 650px;
margin: 35px auto;
}
</style>
This code snippet reveals the basic structure needed to embed an ApexChart into a Vue.js component. Here’s a brief breakdown:
template section includes a single apexchart tag, the custom component made available by the Vue-ApexCharts plugin. Through various props, like type, :options, and :series, you can configure the chart.script tag, VueApexCharts is imported and then registered as a component. The data function returns an object with configurations specific to the desired ApexChart type - in this case, a bar chart. The chartOptions object defines the settings for the chart, such as the chart ID and categories on the x-axis. The series array contains the data to be plotted.With these steps, you can incorporate a variety of charts into your Vue.js applications using ApexCharts, making your data visually appealing and interactive.
