ZingChart jQuery

Less code. More win.

ZingChart jQuery is a wrapper for the [ZingChart charting library](http://www.zingchart.com/) that allows for jQuery-style use of the [**88** different API methods](#methods) and [**81** different API events](#events) that ZingChart has to offer. It's designed to allow maximum use of the various features with the simplest and most jQuery-esque syntax possible.

Intro

Before we get started with this wrapper, it'd be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the ZingChart library. There's even a tutorial for creating your first chart with ZingChart. It should get you up to speed on how this library works.

Looking for more info? Check out any of the below tutorials to get up to speed on the ZingChart library or dig into our docs pages.

Tutorials

Basics

Step One is to make sure you have jQuery loaded. This wrapper won't work without it.

Step Two is to have the ZingChart library loaded. We suggest you use our new, fandangled CDN to keep up to date with the latest build.

Step Three is to have this library loaded. Again, in order to stay up to date with the latest build, we suggest using our CDN.

Here's what should be in the <head> once you're done.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="cdn.zingchart.com/zingchart-html5-min.js"></script>
<script src="cdn.zingchart.com/zingchart.jquery.min.js"></script>

All good? Time to make some sweet charts.

The ZingChart jQuery wrapper works just like normal jQuery. Each method or event is tacked on to the standard jQuery selector method. All methods should be placed inside a $(document).ready() call to ensure the DOM is fully loaded. Here's an example of creating a ZingChart object on a div with an ID of "myChart":

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#myChart").zingchart({
        "data":{
            "type": "line",
            "series": [
                {
                    "values": [1,2,5,3,9,4]
                }
            ]
        }
    });
})

For the sake of brevity, the rest of the examples will omit the $(document).ready() wrapper. That being said, you still need to include it when using this library.

All of the methods which take an object as a parameter can have it passed through directly or by reference. Both are equivalent.

Directly

$("#myChart").zingchart({
    "data": {
        "type": "bar",
        "series": [
            {
                "values": [3,7,9,2]
            }
        ]
    }
});

Reference

var myData = {
    "type": "bar",
    "series": [
        {
            "values": [3,7,9,2]
        }
    ]
};
 
$("#myChart").zingchart({data: myData});

Woohoo! Congrats! You've just made your first ZingChart. Pretty straightforward, isn't it? Now we get into the nitty gritty of the API: how to make your chart do stuff.

Chaining

One of the more user-friendly aspects of jQuery is the chaining of functions, allowing for users to specify the target once but call multiple functions that affect it. This wrapper supports chaining for any methods or events that return a jQuery object. For example, say you want to set a chart to the 3D view and resize it. Instead of calling each method on the chart separately, you could chain them like this:

$("#myChart").set3dView({"y-angle":10}).resizeChart({"width":600,"height":400});

$("#myChart") is now set to a 3D view and resized in just one line of code! Pat yourself on the back for saving time by using chaining. You're a rockstar!

**An Important Note**: many of the event functions may be very similar in name to the method functions and vice versa. This is intentional. The differentiation between the method functions and the event functions is that the ***method*** functions always start with a ***verb***: the action they're performing, while the ***event*** functions always start with a ***noun***: the object they're watching.

# Events[](#events) #

Events are one of the most powerful aspects of the ZingChart API. While other charting libraries have only a handful of events, ZingChart provides dozens of built-in events to monitor and track.

All events take a callback as a argument. Within that callback, you have access to both the jQuery object (the DOM element in which the chart resides) and the event object, an object which reveals different data for each event.

To access the jQuery object, simply use this.

To access the event object, use this.event.

Here's an example using the node click event:

$("#myChart").nodeClick(function(){
 
    // Below, we're accessing the event object
    console.log("Node Value:"+this.event.value); 	// Print the node's value
    console.log("Node Index:"+this.event.nodeindex); // Print the node's index
    console.log("Plot Index:"+this.event.plotindex);	// Print the plot index
    console.log("Chart ID:"+this.event.id);			// Print the chart's ID
 
    // Down here, we're accessing the jQuery object and using normal
    // jQuery functionality on the chart's DOM element. Snazzy!
    $(this).css("border","5px solid #F00");
 
});

Under The Hood

What we're doing here is extending the jQuery object with a custom 'event' attribute. That event attribute holds all the event data returned by the ZingChart event API call. What this allows us to do is retain access to the jQuery element and all it's associated attributes and functionality while also providing easy and granular access to the event attributes. The scope of the extended jQuery object only exists inside the event function and doesn't affect jQuery performance or functionality in anyway. That means less code and more win.

The Event Object

{
    ev: MouseEvent,
    graphid: "myChart-graph-id0",
    id: "myChart",
    key: 2,
    nodeindex: 2,
    plotid: "",
    plotindex: 0,
    scaletext: "2",
    text: "9",
    value: 9
}

Let's get down to business with the events.

Animation Events

.animationStart( callback )

Fires the callback when the chart's animation starts.

Sample Event Object

{
    // The id of the chart
    id: "myChart",
    // The id of the graph
    graphid: "myChart-graph-id0"
}

$("#myChart").animationStart(function(){
    // Make some magic
});

#### .animationEnd( callback ) Fires the callback when the chart's animation ends.

Sample Event Object

{
    // The id of the chart
    id: "myChart",
    // The id of the graph
    graphid: "myChart-graph-id0"
}

$("#myChart").animationEnd(function(){
    // Make some magic
});

#### .animationStep( callback ) Fires the callback for every step of the animation, for every plot/node. That means it fires A LOT. Like, dozens of times. Be **very** careful what you do inside the callback as it is very easy to kill your browser if you use this improperly.

Sample Event Object

{
    // The id of the chart
    id: "myChart",
    // The id of the graph
    graphid: "myChart-graph-id0",
    // The index of the node being animated
    nodeindex: 0,
    // The index of the plot being animated
    plotindex: 0,
    // The "position" in the animation timeline.
    // It starts from 0 and ends as 1 but for several animation methods, intermediate values can exceed 1
    stage: 1
}

$("#myChart").animationStep(function(){
    // Make some magic
});

## Data Manipulation Events #### .chartModify( callback ) Fires the callback when ZingChart is modified via the modify API call. This applies to both the wrapper method and the hand-coded modify method.

{
    // The id of the chart

    // The id of the graph
    graphid: "myChart-graph-id0",
    // The object being modified
    object: 'title',
    // The data passed through to modify the object.
    // In this case, it's text for a new title.
    text: 'A whole new title',
}

$("#myChart").chartModify(function(){
    // Make some magic
});

#### .nodeAdd( callback ) Fires the callback when a node is added to the chart.

    // The node's key
    key: 5,
    // The node's index.
    nodeindex: 5,
    // The plot's index to which the node was added.
    plotindex: 0,
    // The text of the node (similar to value)
    text: 11,

    key: 2,
    // The node's index.
    nodeindex: 2,
    // The plot's index from which the node was removed.
    plotindex: 1,
    // The text of the node (similar to value)
