Need an API to fetch data? Consider Cube, an open-source API for data apps.

This package works with version 2.x and 3.x of Vue.
Use locally in a component:
`javascript
import { GChart } from 'vue-google-charts'
export default {
components: {
GChart
}
}
`
For Vue 2 projects, you need to import from vue-google-charts/legacy.
`javascript`
import { GChart } from 'vue-google-charts/legacy'
component is a wrapper for the original Google Charts, so it's assumed you are familiar with the vanilla Google Charts usage (https://developers.google.com/chart/).With
vue-google-charts package you don't need to link script loader and load Google Charts package manually.Another bonus — reactive data binding. A chart will be redrawn automatically once
data , type and options prop is changed.Simple usage:
`html
type="ColumnChart"
:data="chartData"
:options="chartOptions"
/>
`
---
`javascript
export default {
data () {
return {
// Array will be automatically processed with visualization.arrayToDataTable function
chartData: [
['Year', 'Sales', 'Expenses', 'Profit'],
['2014', 1000, 400, 200],
['2015', 1170, 460, 250],
['2016', 660, 1120, 300],
['2017', 1030, 540, 350]
],
chartOptions: {
chart: {
title: 'Company Performance',
subtitle: 'Sales, Expenses, and Profit: 2014-2017',
}
}
}
}
}
`
---
Load additional packages:
`html
:settings="{ packages: ['corechart', 'table', 'map'] }"
type="Map"
:data="chartData"
:options="chartOptions"
/>
`
Using settings prop you can specify any setting available for google charts loader:
packages, language, callback, mapsApiKey.See more on available setting
There's also
version prop, so you can load a specific version, e.g. version="upcoming".See more on available versions
---
Add event listeners:
`html
type="ColumnChart"
:data="chartData"
:options="chartOptions"
:events="chartEvents"
/>
``javascript
export default {
data () {
return {
// {
// eventName: handlerFunction,
// eventName: handlerFunction,
// }
chartEvents: {
'select': () => {
// handle event here
}
}
}
}
}
`---
Use
@ready for something very customYou can get chart instance and charts api references to draw a custom chart:
`html
type="ColumnChart"
@ready="onChartReady"
/>
``javascript
export default {
methods: {
onChartReady (chart, google) {
const query = new google.visualization.Query('https://url-to-spreadsheet...')
query.send(response => {
const options = {
// some custom options
}
const data = response.getDataTable()
chart.draw(data, options)
})
}
}
}
`---
createChart propertyThis property allows you to create custom chart object from outside of the component.
createChart property is the function and accepts three arguments:
el - the reference to chart element,
google - Google chart library,
type - chart type`html
:type="chartType"
:data="chartData"
:options="chartOptions"
:createChart="(el, google) => new google.charts.Bar(el)"
/>
`By default the function looks like this:
`javascript
(el, google, type) => {
return new google.visualizationtype
}
`For example
createChart may be used to create Material bar charts (Material bar charts expect of class google.charts.Bar instead of google.visualization.BarChart). See: https://codesandbox.io/embed/z699l6oq4p?module=%2Fsrc%2FApp.vue---
Responsive Chart Behaviour
GCharts are responsive by default and they can change their width on
window.resize event.
The resize is debounces and you can control debounce time (ms) by using resizeDebounce property:
`html
:resizeDebounce="500"
/>
`
If you don't need responsive behaviour for your charts, set :resizeDebounce="0"---
Plugin Development
Installation
The first time you create or clone your plugin, you need to install the default dependencies:
`
npm i
`Watch and compile
This will run webpack in watching mode and output the compiled files in the
dist folder.`
npm run dev
`Use it in another project
While developing, you can follow the install instructions of your plugin and link it into the project that uses it.
In the plugin folder:
`
npm link
`In the other project folder:
`
npm link vue-google-charts
`This will install it in the dependencies as a symlink, so that it gets any modifications made to the plugin.
Manual build
This will build the plugin into the
dist folder in production mode.`
npm run build
