Vue.js wrapper for ApexCharts to build interactive visualizations in vue.
npm install vue-apexcharts apexcharts
import VueApexCharts from 'vue-apexcharts'
Vue.use(VueApexCharts)
To create a basic bar chart with minimal configuration, write as follows:
<template>
<div>
<apexcharts width="500" type="bar" :options="chartOptions" :series="series"></apexcharts>
</div>
</template>
import VueApexCharts from 'vue-apexcharts'
export default {
components: {
apexcharts: VueApexCharts,
},
data: function() {
return {
chartOptions: {
chart: {
id: 'vuechart-example'
},
xaxis: {
categories: [1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998]
}
},
series: [{
name: 'series-1',
data: [30, 40, 45, 50, 49, 60, 70, 91]
}]
}
},
};
This will render the following chart
Simple! Just change the series
or any option
and it will automatically re-render the chart. Have a look at the below example to see this in action
<template>
<div class="app">
<apexcharts width="550" type="bar" :options="chartOptions" :series="series"></apexcharts>
<div>
<button @click="updateChart">Update!</button>
</div>
</div>
</template>
export default {
data: function() {
return {
chartOptions: {
chart: {
id: 'vuechart-example',
},
xaxis: {
categories: [1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998],
},
},
series: [{
name: 'series-1',
data: [30, 40, 45, 50, 49, 60, 70, 81]
}]
}
},
methods: {
updateChart() {
const max = 90;
const min = 20;
const newData = this.series[0].data.map(() => {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min
})
const colors = ['#008FFB', '#00E396', '#FEB019', '#FF4560', '#775DD0']
// Make sure to update the whole options config and not just a single property to allow the Vue watch catch the change.
this.chartOptions = {
colors: [colors[Math.floor(Math.random()*colors.length)]]
};
// In the same way, update the series option
this.series = [{
data: newData
}]
}
}
};

Sometimes, you may want to call other methods of the core ApexCharts library, and you can do so on this.$apexcharts
global variable directly
Example
this.$apexcharts.exec('vuechart-example', 'updateSeries', [{
data: [40, 55, 65, 11, 23, 44, 54, 33]
}])
In the above method, vuechart-example
is the ID of chart, updateSeries
is the name of the method you want to call and the third parameter is the new Series you want to update.
More info on the .exec()
method can be found here
All other methods of ApexCharts can be called the same way.
