pe-charts

This library employs techniques of progressive enhancement to ensure that all users can enjoy your data, whether it be a nice Highchart or just numbers!

Installation

Dependencies are managed with the bower package manager.

bower install

Usage

You start out with a table, lets say Apple Inc.'s revenue

<table>
	<caption>
		<p>Revenue in Billions</p>
	</caption>
	<thead>
		<tr>
			<th></th>
			<th>2011</th>
			<th>2012</th>
			<th>2013</th>
		</tr>
	</thead>
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td>Apple</td>
			<td>108.6</td>
			<td>155.97</td>
			<td>170.87</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

Then add data-attributes so the plugin knows what type of data you would like to display

<table data-chart-type="column">
	<caption>
		<p data-yaxis-title>Revenue in Billions</p>
	</caption>
	<thead>
		<tr data-categories>
			<th data-ignore></th>
			<th>2011</th>
			<th>2012</th>
			<th>2013</th>
		</tr>
	</thead>
	<tbody>
		<tr data-series>
			<td data-series-name>Apple</td>
			<td>108.6</td>
			<td>155.97</td>
			<td>170.87</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

Available Attributes

table[data-chart-id] { // set id of chart wrapper element }
table[data-chart-type] { // set chart type, line|column_stacked|column|bar|pie }
table[data-hide-legend] { // turn off legend }
table[data-height] { // set chart height }
table[data-yaxis-min] { // set yaxis min }
table[data-xaxis-interval] { // set xaxis tick interval }
table[data-plot-line-value] { // set plot line value }
table[data-plot-line-text] { // set plot line text }
table[data-plot-line-color] { // set plot line color }

*[data-chart-title] { // set chart title }
*[data-chart-subtitle] { // set chart subtitle }
*[data-yaxis-title] { // set yaxis title }
*[data-categories] { // set children within this element as categories }
*[data-ignore] { // set category to be ignored }
*[data-series] { // set children within this element as series data }
*[data-series-name] { // set as current series name }
*[data-footnote] { // set highcharts credit text }

Lastly, add any further customization and initialize the plugin

$('table').pechart({
	all: {
		colors: [
			'#B5B3AE',
			'#005A9C',
			'#FFFFFF'
		]
	}
});

Available Options

Configuration for each chart type will be passed directly to Highcharts. Consult the Highcharts API Reference for all available options.

To apply configuration to all charts, use all:

{
	all: {
		yAxis: {
			title: {
				enabled: false
			}
		}
	}
}

To apply configuration to only the line chart type, use line

{
	line: {
		yAxis: {
			title: {
				enabled: false
			}
		}
	}
}
