In this chapter, we will showcase the configuration required to draw a chart using the Google Chart API in Angular.
Follow the following steps to update the Angular application we created in Angular 6 - Project Setup chapter −
Step | Description |
---|---|
1 | Create a project with a name googleChartsApp as explained in the Angular 6 - Project Setup chapter. |
2 | Modify app.module.ts, app.component.ts and app.component.html as explained below. Keep rest of the files unchanged. |
3 | Compile and run the application to verify the result of the implemented logic. |
Following is the content of the modified module descriptor app.module.ts.
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; import { GoogleChartsModule } from 'angular-google-charts'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule,GoogleChartsModule ], providers: [], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { }
Following is the content of the modified HTML host file app.component.html.
<google-chart #chart [title]="title" [type]="type" [data]="data" [columnNames]="columnNames" [options]="options" [width]="width" [height]="height"> </google-chart>
We'll see the updated app.component.ts in the end after understanding configurations.
title = 'Browser market shares at a specific website, 2014';
type='PieChart';
Configure the data to be displayed on the chart.
data = [ ['Firefox', 45.0], ['IE', 26.8], ['Chrome', 12.8], ['Safari', 8.5], ['Opera', 6.2], ['Others', 0.7] ];
Configure the column names to be displayed.
columnNames = ['Browser', 'Percentage'];
Configure the other options.
options = { colors: ['#e0440e', '#e6693e', '#ec8f6e', '#f3b49f', '#f6c7b6'], is3D: true };
Consider the following example to further understand the Configuration Syntax −
app.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-root', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'] }) export class AppComponent { title = 'Browser market shares at a specific website, 2014'; type = 'PieChart'; data = [ ['Firefox', 45.0], ['IE', 26.8], ['Chrome', 12.8], ['Safari', 8.5], ['Opera', 6.2], ['Others', 0.7] ]; columnNames = ['Browser', 'Percentage']; options = { }; width = 550; height = 400; }
Verify the result.
