VueChart

Vue.js Wrapper for Chart.js - Easy and beautiful charts with Chart.js and Vue.js.

Installation

yarn add vue-chartjs chart.js
npm install vue-chartjs chart.js --save

Or if you want to use it directly in the browser add

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/2.7.1/Chart.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue-chartjs/dist/vue-chartjs.min.js"></script>

Browser

You can use vue-chartjs directly in the browser without any build setup. You can then simply register your component:

Vue.component('line-chart', {
  extends: VueChartJs.Line,
  mounted () {
    this.renderChart({
      labels: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July'],
      datasets: [
        {
          label: 'Data One',
          backgroundColor: '#f87979',
          data: [40, 39, 10, 40, 39, 80, 40]
        }
      ]
    }, {responsive: true, maintainAspectRatio: false})
  }
})

How to use

You need to import the component and then either use extends or mixins and add it.

You can import the whole package or modules you want to use individually.

import VueCharts from 'vue-chartjs'
import { Bar, Line } from 'vue-chartjs'

Just create your own component.

// CommitChart.js
import { Bar } from 'vue-chartjs'

export default {
  extends: Bar,
  mounted () {
    // Overwriting base render method with actual data.
    this.renderChart({
      labels: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'],
      datasets: [
        {
          label: 'GitHub Commits',
          backgroundColor: '#f87979',
          data: [40, 20, 12, 39, 10, 40, 39, 80, 40, 20, 12, 11]
        }
      ]
    })
  }
}

Then simply import and use your own extended component and use it like a normal vue component

import CommitChart from 'path/to/component/CommitChart'

Mixins module

The mixins module is included in the VueCharts module and as a separate module. Some ways to import them:

// Load complete module with all charts
import VueCharts from 'vue-chartjs'

export default {
  extends: VueCharts.Line,
  mixins: [VueCharts.mixins.reactiveProp],
  props: ['chartData', 'options'],
  mounted () {
    this.renderChart(this.chartData, this.options)
  }
}

// Load speperate modules
import { Line, mixins } from 'vue-chartjs'

export default {
  extends: Line,
  mixins: [mixins.reactiveProp],
  props: ['chartData', 'options'],
  mounted () {
    this.renderChart(this.chartData, this.options)
  }
}

// Load speperate modules with destructure assign
import { Line, mixins } from 'vue-chartjs'
const { reactiveProp } = mixins

export default {
  extends: Line,
  mixins: [reactiveProp],
  props: ['chartData', 'options'],
  mounted () {
    this.renderChart(this.chartData, this.options)
  }
}
