This tutorial will show you every step you need to use amCharts 4 with AngularJS 1.x.
VERSION INFO If you are using Angular2 or later, please refer to this tutorial instead.
First, create an index.html file:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html ng-app="app">
<head>
<!-- Loads amCharts 4 -->
<script src="https://www.amcharts.com/lib/4/core.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.amcharts.com/lib/4/charts.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.amcharts.com/lib/4/themes/animated.js"></script>
<!-- Loads AngularJS -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.7.5/angular.min.js"></script>
<!-- Loads our app code -->
<script src="chart.js"></script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Displays the chart component -->
<chart style="width: 100%; height: 500px"></chart>
</body>
</html>
Now create a chart.js file:
am4core.useTheme(am4themes_animated);
angular.module("chart", [])
.directive("chart", function () {
return {
restrict: "E",
scope: {},
template: "<div id='chartdiv'></div>",
replace: true,
link: function ($scope) {
var chart = am4core.create("chartdiv", am4charts.XYChart);
chart.paddingRight = 20;
var data = [];
var visits = 10;
for (var i = 1; i < 366; i++) {
visits += Math.round((Math.random() < 0.5 ? 1 : -1) * Math.random() * 10);
data.push({ date: new Date(2018, 0, i), name: "name" + i, value: visits });
}
chart.data = data;
var dateAxis = chart.xAxes.push(new am4charts.DateAxis());
dateAxis.renderer.grid.template.location = 0;
var valueAxis = chart.yAxes.push(new am4charts.ValueAxis());
valueAxis.tooltip.disabled = true;
valueAxis.renderer.minWidth = 35;
var series = chart.series.push(new am4charts.LineSeries());
series.dataFields.dateX = "date";
series.dataFields.valueY = "value";
series.tooltipText = "{valueY.value}";
chart.cursor = new am4charts.XYCursor();
var scrollbarX = new am4charts.XYChartScrollbar();
scrollbarX.series.push(series);
chart.scrollbarX = scrollbarX;
$scope.$on("$destroy", function () {
chart.dispose();
});
}
};
});
This contains all of the chart code. It is important to use $scope.$on("$destroy", ...) to dispose the chart (as shown above).
Lastly, make an app.js file:
angular.module("app", ["chart"]);
Notice that the app module imports the chart module.
Now you can open the index.html file in a browser, and it should work!
