vue barchart API json

Topic: vue barchart API json

k3s4 free asked 4 years ago

Hello,

I have webpage build using mdbootstrap vue where I use Datatables to fill table using standard API json. Now I want to use Bar Chart to create visualization for these data - is there any simple way to create bar chart without calling external API again ? or there is any other way to fill bar char with external json ?

and if I want to have this bar chart live update? simply setInterval in javascript ?

Magdalena Dembna staff commented 4 years ago

The chart will update when you update data prop - although remember to update the entire value, not just one key in order to trigger rerender. So yes, simple setInterval which calls API every few seconds will do.

If you want to call API only once I would suggest making that call in mounted hook, and create two methods which format the data - one for data tables (columns and rows) and the other one for bar chart (datasets). There is no built-in method for calling an API inside the chart component, but because it has data watchers, it will handle rendering async data. Kind regards, Magdalena
