Usage

react-techchart is a canvas based charting tool with various different interactive features. In order to conveniently access and control the chart from outside (your implementing react component) the calculation logic is outsourced to a custom react-hook called useChartController.

The useChartController hook returns the ChartController - an object containing all necessary data and interfaces to display the chart, to access and change the current state.

The <Chart> component provides the logic to display the chart (draws hook data on multiple canvas-layers), render the labels and the menu incl. opening button.

import React from "react";
import { useChartController, Chart, iRSI, EMA, KAMA, defaultDarkTheme, Types as T } from "react-techchart";

// optional definition of initial indicators
const initialIndicators = [
  {
    id: "kama_01",
    type: "indicator",
    indicator: KAMA,
    graphProps: {
      style: {
        strokeColor: ["#0693E3"],
      },
    },
  },

  { type: "indicator", indicator: iRSI(5), id: "rsi_01" },
  {
    id: "ema_rsi_01",
    type: "indicator",
    indSrcId: "rsi_01",
    indicator: EMA,
    graphProps: {
      style: {
        strokeColor: ["#0693E3"],
      },
    },
  },
];

// optional settings (for useChartController and Chart component)
const settings = {
  initialTheme: defaultDarkTheme,
  initialIndicators: initialIndicators,
  // maxUpdatesPerSec: 40, default is 15
};

// an OHLC-dataseries is required - replace with your dataseries

    name: "Your Chart",
    type: "chart", // a string literal
    id: "mainchart", // arbitrary but unique id
  });

  const Controller = useChartController({
    data: Data,
    settings,
    events: {
      onDataChange: (newData) => {
        setData(newData);
      },
    },
  });

  // optional - to access or control the component from outside
  const {
    ChartState, // ➜ current ChartState
    Dispatch, // ➜ Dispatch to modify ChartState (reducer-dispatch)
  } = Controller;

  return (
    <div style={{ height: 400 }}>
      <CChart Controller={Controller} />
    </div>
