A collection of uPlot wrappers that allow you to work with charts declaratively inside your favorite framework.
Table of Contents
While several other uPlot wrappers already exist, all of them have one of the following limitations:
- They create uPlot instance once, during component mount phase, and expect you to handle all the update logic yourself.
- They recreate uPlot instance anew whenever the props change, even if the instance can be updated to reflect the changes.
In comparison this library tries it's best not to recreate the uPlot instance once the props change. Instead of recreation it tries to use uPlot public API to keep it up to date with the props.
See React or Vue.js sections below depending on what framework you're using. Also see API documentation common to both frameworks.
Install uplot-react package with uplot dependency:
- Using npm:
$ npm install uplot-react uplot
- Using yarn:
$ yarn add uplot-react uplot
You also need React 16.8 or above to be installed inside your project tree.
import React from 'react';
import uPlot from 'uplot';
import UplotReact from 'uplot-react';
import 'uplot/dist/uPlot.min.css';
const Chart = () =>
(<UplotReact
options={options}
data={data}
target={target}
onCreate={(chart) => {}}
onDelete={(chart) => {}}
/>);
See the live demo
You can also run the demo app locally:
$ git clone https://github.com/skalinichev/uplot-wrappers.git
$ cd uplot-wrappers && yarn install && yarn run serveReact
Install uplot-vue package with uplot dependency:
- Using npm:
$ npm install uplot-vue uplot
- Using yarn:
$ yarn add uplot-vue uplot
You also need Vue.js to be installed inside your project tree (both 2.6 and 3.x versions are supported).
Using template
<template>
<UplotVue
:data="data"
:options="options"
:target="target"
@create="onCreate"
@delete="onDelete"
/>
</template>
<script>
// Vue.js 2
import Vue from 'vue';
// Vue.js 3
import {createApp} from 'vue';
import uPlot from 'uplot';
import UplotVue from 'uplot-vue';
import 'uplot/dist/uPlot.min.css';
// Vue.js 2
const Chart = Vue.extend({components: {uplotvue: UplotVue}});
// Vue.js 3
const Chart = createApp({components: {uplotvue: UplotVue}});
</script>
Using JSX
// Vue.js 2
import Vue from 'vue';
// Vue.js 3
import {createApp} from 'vue';
import uPlot from 'uplot';
import UplotVue from 'uplot-vue';
import 'uplot/dist/uPlot.min.css';
{
...,
render() {
return (
<UplotVue
options={options}
data={data}
target={target}
onDelete={(chart) => {}}
onCreate={(chart) => {}}
/>
);
}
}
Note: Property changes by mutation are not supported due to Vue limitation You have to create a copy of the property, i.e. replace it instead, see an example for the general idea.
See the Vue.js 2 live demo
You can also run the demo app locally:
$ git clone https://github.com/skalinichev/uplot-wrappers.git
$ cd uplot-wrappers && yarn install
Vue.js 2:
$ yarn run serveVue
Vue.js 3:
$ yarn run serveVue3
Parameter | Requirement | Description |
---|---|---|
options | required | Options for uPlot. Passed as the first argument to uPlot constructor: new uPlot(options) |
data | required | Data for uPlot. Passed as the second argument to uPlot constructor: new uPlot(options, data) |
target | optional | Target html element or init function for uPlot. Passed as the third argument to uPlot constructor: new uPlot(options, data, target) A new div target element will be created automatically if none is passed in the props |
onCreate | optional | Callback function, invoked upon uPlot instance creation or recreation |
onDelete | optional | Callback function, invoked before uPlot instance gets destroyed, either because the props has changed so much it's impossible to update the chart or because the component is about to be unmounted |
