React Native Charts Wrapper

This library is React Native wrapper of popular Native charting library MPAndroidChart and Charts

Introduction

Inspired by react-native-mp-android-chart and react-native-ios-charts

React Native Charts Wrapper is built on MPAndroidChart(v3.1.0) & Charts(v3.3.0), support both android & iOS.

ANDROID

IOS

Supported Chart Type

• Bar(Stack,Group)
• Line
• Scatter
• Bubble
• Pie
• Radar
• Combined
• CandleStick

Setup

expo

1. expo init demo
2. cd demo
3. expo install react-native-charts-wrapper
4. eas build

react-native

• npx react-native init demo
• cd demo
• npm install --save react-native-charts-wrapper
• cd ios && pod install
• npx react-native run-ios/run-android

update App.js

import React from 'react';
import {
  AppRegistry,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View, processColor
} from 'react-native';

import {LineChart} from 'react-native-charts-wrapper';

export default class App extends React.Component {

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={{flex: 1}}>
        <View style={styles.container}>
          <LineChart style={styles.chart}
            data={{dataSets:[{label: "demo", values: [{y: 1}, {y: 2}, {y: 1}]}]}}
          />
        </View>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF'
  },
  chart: {
    flex: 1
  }
});

Usage

There are 8 supported charts with many configuration options. Almost all configuration available in base MPAndroidChart library are available through this wrapper. More details on available configuration can be found on their wiki.

Example of how charts are used and how to apply configuration can be found in example.

Convention

Android and IOS have different convention:

1. color's alpha in android is 0-255, in ios is 0-1
2. percent in android is 0-100, in ios is 0-1
3. animation.duration in MpAndroidChart is milliseconds, in Charts is seconds.
4. their enum case name is always different, for example XAxisPosition, in MpAndroidChart is BOTH_SIDED, in Charts is bothSided.

Here we use android Convention

Always use processColor to set color

Data Format

• Complete Form

    data : {
        ...
        dataSets: [
            {
                values: [
                    {x: 5, y: 90},
                    {x: 10, y: 130},
                    {x: 50, y: 2000, marker: "eat more"},
                    {x: 80, y: 9000, marker: "eat less"}
                ]
            },
            ...
        ]
    }Ï
  

marker is optional, if x is omitted, index will be used.

• Simplified Form

    data: {
        ...
        dataSets: [
            {
                values: [5, 40, 77, 81, 43]
            },
            ....
        ]
    }
  

index will used as x.

Supported Callbacks

onSelect

Triggered when a chart value is selected. The event passed back will include the coordinates of the touch as well as the data (including marker label) selected.

onChange

Triggered for various supported events on each platform. Due to the different nature of gesture handling on each platform as well as the different implementations of the underlying chart libraries, the same events are not supported on every platform. For full details on the supported events, see the table below:

Event Name	Description	iOS	Android
chartScaled	When a chart is scaled/zoomed via a pinch zoom gesture.	✅	✅
chartTranslated	When a chart is moved/translated via a drag gesture.	✅	✅
chartPanEnd	When a chart pan gesture ends.	✅	❌
chartGestureStart	When a chart gesture starts.	❌	✅
chartGestureEnd	When a chart gesture ends.	❌	✅
chartLongPress	When a chart is long pressed.	❌	✅
chartSingleTap	When a chart is single tapped.	❌	✅
chartFling	When a chart recieves a fling gesture.	❌	✅
doubleTapped	When a chart is double tapped	❌	✅

check Example->MultipleChart for details.

Direct Function Call

Support direct function call.

You can use chart.moveViewToX(...) or other functions directly.

check Example->MovingWindowChart for details.

supported functions:

1. highlights([...])

   it can be used to highlight entries programmatically, or clear already highlighted entries if you pass empty array to it: highlights([])

2. moveViewTo/moveViewToX/moveViewToAnimated/centerViewTo/centerViewToAnimated

3. fitScreen

4. setDataAndLockIndex

   It will rescale and move to the begining of your data when new data is set by default, this is not expected when you want to load more data when user scrolls.
   setDataAndLockIndex will remain x/y/zoom when you load more data.
   Because of the implementation of MpAndroidChart, if the action of setDataAndLockIndex is triggered by user dragging,
   then the range of new data (xMax - xMin) should be equal to original data(this basicly means size of new data equals to old one), otherwise the calculation of position transition won't be accurate,
   use may find the chart suddenly blink to another position.
   This restriction only exists in android, in iOS, we have no such problem.

   You can check the example InfiniteScrollLineChartScreen.

Special properties

Several extra properties are introduced:

1. group&identifier&syncX&syncY

   They are useful when you want to implement linkage charts.

   Charts will sync its operation to other charts in the same group. All these sync jobs are done at native side.

   You can check the example LinkageChartScreen.

   Another way of syncing charts is to use onChange, but the performace is poor. You can check the example MultipleChartScreen.

   There is a stock kLine chart in example, it combines group&identifier and setDataAndLockIndex together.

Custom Marker Content

Support custom marker content.

check Example->TimeSeriesLineChart for details.

Notice

size of chart

you can set chart to fixed width & height, or flex:1
