<rms-sparkline-bar-chart>

Description

The rms-sparkline-bar-chart web component renders a sparkline including the following elements:

• a collection of bars, one for each point

These sparkline can be styled. See the properties section for details

Usage

See examples of applications on the Angular web application, rms-sparklines-=styleguid.

Declare the component on the Angular application

The software engineer updates the host application's packages.json to include rms-sparkline-bar-chart:

    "rms-sparkline-bar-chart": "MAJOR.minor.patch",

As part of the development process the software engineer can simply symlink the component to app, as follows:

• navigate to the rms-sparklines-=styleguid root folder: $ cd ~/rms-sparklines-styleguide
• link to the component: $ nmp link ~/rms-sparklines/rms-sparkline-bar-chart

To remove the symlink simply:

• navigate to the app root folder: $ cd ~/rms-sparklines-styleguide
• link to the component: $ nmp unlink rms-sparkline-bar-chart

Import the web component into the Angular application, app:

// ...
import 'rms-sparkline-bar-chart';
// ...

Create app component(s) to host the web components

See the rms-sparkline-bar-chart Angular component used to render a simnple sparkline, and the the rms-sparkline-bar-chart Angular component used to render a sparkline with a drop dawn shade.

In our case the component selector is app-rms-sparkline-bar-chart

Configure the Angular Component to use the Web Component:

Edit rms-sparkline-bar-chart.component.html to use the web component, including its attributes. Note that the attributes are all lowercase, even thought they are bound to Angular properties with camel cased names.

<p>
  Simple inline:
  <span>
    <rms-sparkline-inline
      [barPoints] = "barPoints"
      [className] = "className"
      [fillColor] = "fillColor"
      [height] = "height"
      [lineColor] = "lineColor"
      [lineWidth] = "lineWidth"
      [toolTip] = "toolTip"
      [width] = "width"
    >
    </rms-sparkline-inline>
  </span>
</p>
 

Define the Angular Component properties

Edit rms-sparkline-bar-chart.component.ts to define the propoerties bound to the Web Component attributes. Note that the Angular properties are camel cased; be awere that this can be a source of confusion!

  // The sparkline data source
  barPoints: number[] = [4, 3, 7, 8, 1, 4, 9, 2, 5, 3, 5, 9];
 
  // Class(es) to be added to the canvas element.
  className = '';
 
  // A string giving the color to fill the bars; any valid CSS color. Default is red
  fillColor = 'red';
 
  // A number giving the height of the sparkline box in pixels. By default, uses the height of the Canvas element.
  height = 16;
 
  // A string giving the color of the sparkline. Any valid CSS color.
  lineColor = 'black';
 
  // A number giving the stroke of the line in pixels.
  lineWidth = 1.5;
 
  // Whether to show values the mouse glides over the sparkline
  toolTip = false;
 
  // A number giving the width of the sparkline box in pixels.
  width = 64;

Add the Angular component showing the web component to the view

Edit app.component.html:

    . . .
    <app-rms-sparkline-bar-chart></app-rms-sparkline-bar-chart>
     . . .

• width: A number giving the width of the sparkline box in pixels. Default is 64.
• height: A number giving the height of the sparkline box in pixels. Default is 16.
• linecolor: A string giving the color of the sparkline; any valid CSS color. Default is black.
