Frappe provides easy-to-use and fully configurable SVG charts. You can learn about them in the Frappe Chart's documentation.

frappe.ui.RealtimeChart

new frappe.ui.RealtimeChart(dom_element, event_name, max_label_count, data)

Creates a new RealtimeChart instance that adds real-time data update functionality on top of the Frappe Chart API.

dom_element: HTML Element to be used to render the Chart. event_name: Socket event which will provide the data stream. max_label_count: Maximum number of labels allowed on the x-axis. data: Data for the chart to be initialized with.

// Empty data array
const data = {
  datasets: [
    {
      name: "Some Data",
      values: [],
    },
  ],
};

// Realtime Chart initialization
let chart = new frappe.ui.RealtimeChart("#chart", "test_event", 8, {
  title: "My Realtime Chart",
  data: data,
  type: "line",
  height: 250,
  colors: ["#7cd6fd", "#743ee2"]
});

Here is the sample client code to render a chart over the specified socket event.

The following python code can be executed as a cron job using Hook functionality.

data = {
    'label': 1,
    'points': [10]
}
frappe.publish_realtime('test_event', data)

The label key specifies the label to be appended in the Chart. The points key specifies the array of points to be plotted. The number of values in the points array depends on the number of datasets.

This would produce a Chart like

RealtimeChart

frappe.ui.RealtimeChart.start_updating

frappe.ui.RealtimeChart.start_updating()

Start listening to the specified socket event and update the RealtimeChart accordingly.

frappe.ui.RealtimeChart.start_updating();

RealtimeChart frappe.ui.RealtimeChart.startupdating_

frappe.ui.RealtimeChart.stop_updating

frappe.ui.RealtimeChart.stop_updating()

Stop listening to the socket event that RealtimeChart was initialized with.

frappe.ui.RealtimeChart.stop_updating();

frappe.ui.RealtimeChart.update_chart

frappe.ui.update_chart(label, data)

Manually updates RealtimeChart by appending the label and associated data to the end of the chart.

frappe.ui.update_chart(2, [30]);
