bar(type = :vertical, &block) click to toggle source

A bar chart provides a way of showing data values represented as vertical bars. It is sometimes used to show trend data, and the comparison of multiple data sets side by side.

# File lib/chart_js.rb, line 64
def self.bar(type = :vertical, &block)
  chart = Chart.new
  case type
  when :vertical
    chart.type('bar')
  when :horizontal
    chart.type('horizontalBar')
  end
  chart.build(&block)
end
build(&block) click to toggle source

Build a chart, do some stuff!

# File lib/chart_js.rb, line 19
def self.build(&block)
  Chart.new(&block)
end
data(json: false, &block) click to toggle source

Need to send some server-side event data? You found your method. Optionally, it'll even call the “to_json” on the object your sending ( if it accepts that method call ); otherwise you should really only send JSON that is already formatted. Otherwise it'll just send the plaintext.

Live life the way you want to.

# File lib/chart_js.rb, line 81
def self.data(json: false, &block)
  if json
    "data: #{block.call} \r\n\n"
  else
    "data: #{block.call.to_json} \r\n\n"
  end
end
doughnut(&block) click to toggle source

Doughnut charts are probably one of the most commonly used charts. They are divided into segments, the arc of each segment shows the proportional value of each piece of data. They are excellent at showing the relational proportions between data but with a big'O hole in the middle.

# File lib/chart_js.rb, line 55
def self.doughnut(&block)
  chart = Chart.new
  chart.type('doughnut')
  chart.build(&block)
end
line(&block) click to toggle source

A line chart is a way of plotting data points on a line. Often, it is used to show trend data, or the comparison of two data sets.

# File lib/chart_js.rb, line 25
def self.line(&block)
  chart = Chart.new
  chart.type('line')
  chart.build(&block)
end
pie(&block) click to toggle source

Pie charts are probably one of the most commonly used charts. They are divided into segments, the arc of each segment shows the proportional value of each piece of data. They are excellent at showing the relational proportions between data.

# File lib/chart_js.rb, line 44
def self.pie(&block)
  chart = Chart.new
  chart.type('pie')
  chart.build(&block)
end
radar(&block) click to toggle source

A radar chart is a way of showing multiple data points and the variation between them. They are often useful for comparing the points of two or more different data sets.

# File lib/chart_js.rb, line 34
def self.radar(&block)
  chart = Chart.new
  chart.type('radar')
  chart.build(&block)
end
