Create doughnut chart component in Vuejs


Data Visualization is the important part of a commercial application. There are plenty of JavaScript library available for this task. In this series of post we are discussing about Chartjs and its Vue wrapper.

Creating Component may save your time and it increase the re-usability of the code.

Install dependencies

In-order to use Chartjs charts we need multiple dependency which can be installed using one of the following methods.


 yarn add vue-chartjs chart.js
 npm install vue-chartjs chart.js --save

Create component

In the component folder of the project add the following code and name the file Doughnut.js

import { Doughnut, mixins } from 'vue-chartjs'

export default {
  extends: Doughnut,  
  mixins: [mixins.reactiveProp],
  name: 'DoughnutChart',
  props: [{
    chartData: {
      type: Object,
      default: null
    },
    options: {
      type: Object,
      default: null
    }
  }],
  mounted() {
    this.renderChart(this.chartData, this.options)
  }
}

Using the component

In the page component we can import component and bind the data, and options. 

<template>
  <div class="flex-container">
    <DoughnutChart :chartData="chartdata" :options="options" />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
// @ is an alias to /src
import DoughnutChart from '@/components/Doughnut'
export default {
  name: "Doughnut",
  components: { DoughnutChart 
  },
  data (){
    return {
    chartdata: {
      labels: ['January', 'February'],
      datasets: [
        {
          label: 'Data One',
          backgroundColor: '#f87979',
          data: [40, 20]
        },
         {
          label: 'Data Two',
          backgroundColor: '#5885af',
          data: [140, 120]
        }
      ]
    },
    options: {
      responsive: true,
      maintainAspectRatio: false
    },
    }

  }
  
};
</script>
<style>
.flex-container {
  display: flex;
}

</style>

A complete set of chart components will be available on Vue-chart-components Repository

redirecting multiple routes in Vuejs


Sometimes we would like to have same route with different name, such guide to FAQ, help, how-to etc. What should we do when want to redirect same route against a bunch of routes ?. Here the alias came into picture

alias can be used in our index route file to redirect a route / a set of route to specific route. The following example will clarify this

import Vue from "vue";
 ......
Vue.use(VueRouter);
const routes = [
  {
    path: "/",
    name: "Line",
    component: LineChart,
     },   
  {
    // The redirect can also be targeting a named route:
    path: "/help",
    redirect: { name: 'About' }
  },
  {
    //redirect with aliad
    path: "/doughnut",
    name: "Doughnut",
    component: Doughnut,
    alias: ['/donut', '/dot']

  }, 
];
const router = new VueRouter({
  routes
});

export default router;

In the above router configuration I have a route doughnut which shows the doughnut chart. All I want to different routes set to this route. we redirect /doughnut route to the /donut, /dot routes. As a result all the routes are working

Redirect a route in Vue router


Sometimes we would like to have same route with different name, such guide to FAQ, help, how-to etc. Vue allow us to use the redirect feature for this purpose.

Redirect can be used in our index route file in the following format

import Vue from "vue";
 ......
Vue.use(VueRouter);
const routes = [
  {
    path: "/",
    name: "Line",
    component: LineChart,
     },   
  {
    // The redirect can also be targeting a named route:
    path: "/help",
    redirect: { name: 'About' }
  } 
];
const router = new VueRouter({
  routes
});

export default router;

In the above router configuration we redirect /help router to the named route /About. For multiple route we have to reply on alias.
