How to use Vue to dynamically refresh Echarts components-JS Tutorial-php.cn

This time I will show you how Vue uses dynamically refreshed Echarts components. What are the precautions for Vue to use dynamically refreshed Echarts components. The following is a practical case, let's take a look.

Demand background: Dashboard is currently the "face" of enterprise mid- and back-end products. How to display statistical data in a more real-time, efficient and cool way is a question worthy of consideration by front-end development engineers and UI designers. . Today, we will start from scratch, encapsulating an Echarts line chart component that dynamically renders data, and start thinking about more interesting components together.

Preparation work

Project structure construction

Because of production needs (Actually, I am lazy), so this tutorial uses ==vue-cli== to build the infrastructure of the project.

npm install -g vue-cli
vue init webpack vue-charts
cd vue-charts
npm run dev

Copy after login

Install Echarts

Use npm to install directly.

npm install Echarts --save

Copy after login

Introducing Echarts

//在main.js加入下面两行代码
import echarts from 'echarts'
Vue.prototype.$echarts = echarts //将echarts注册成Vue的全局属性

Copy after login

At this point, the preparation work has been completed.

Static Component Development

Because I was deeply poisoned by the article "React Programming Thoughts", the author is also accustomed to gradually iterating from basic to advanced when developing components.

The purpose of the static component is very simple, which is to render the Echarts chart onto the page.

Create a new Chart.vue file

<template>
 <p :id="id" :style="style"></p>
</template>
<script>
export default {
 name: "Chart",
 data() {
  return {
   //echarts实例
   chart: ""  
  };
 },
 props: {
  //父组件需要传递的参数：id，width，height，option
  id: {
   type: String
  },
  width: {
   type: String,
   default: "100%"
  },
  height: {
   type: String,
   default: "300px"
  },
  option: {
   type: Object,
   //Object类型的prop值一定要用函数return出来，不然会报错。原理和data是一样的，
   //使用闭包保证一个vue实例拥有自己的一份props
   default() {
    return {
     title: {
      text: "vue-Echarts"
     },
     legend: {
      data: ["销量"]
     },
     xAxis: {
      data: ["衬衫", "羊毛衫", "雪纺衫", "裤子", "高跟鞋", "袜子","tuoxie"]
     },
     series: [
      {
       name: "销量",
       type: "line",
       data: [5, 20, 36, 10, 10, 70]
      }
     ]
    };
   }
  }
 },
 computed: {
  style() {
   return {
    height: this.height,
    width: this.width
   };
  }
 },
 mounted() {
  this.init();
 },
 methods: {
  init() {
   this.chart = this.$echarts.init(document.getElementById(this.id));
   this.chart.setOption(this.option);
  }
 }
};
</script>

The above file implements a component that renders a simple line chart to the page. Isn't it very simple? The simplest method to use is as follows:

App.vue

<template>
 <p id="app">
  <Chart id="test"/>
 </p>
</template>
<script>
import Chart from "./components/Chart";
export default {
 name: "App",
 data() {},
 components: {
  Chart
 }
}
</script>

At this point, you should be able to see the following effect when running the program:

First iteration

Now that we have a basic version, let’s take a look at what’s left unsatisfactory:

The chart cannot be automatically scaled according to the window size. Although the width is set to 100%, the chart will not be re-rendered until the page is refreshed, which will make the user experience very poor.
Charts are currently unable to automatically refresh data

Let’s realize these two points:

Auto scaling

Echarts itself does not support automatic scaling, but Echarts provides us with the resize method.

//在init方法中加入下面这行代码
window.addEventListener("resize", this.chart.resize);

With just this sentence, we have realized the need for the chart to adapt to the window size.

Support automatic data refresh

Because Echarts is data-driven, which means that as long as we reset the data, the chart will follow Re-rendering is the basis for realizing this requirement. Let's imagine again that if you want to support automatic refresh of data, you must have a listener that can monitor data changes in real time and then tell Echarts to reset the data. Fortunately, Vue provides us with the ==watcher== function, through which we can easily implement the above functions:

//在Chart.vue中加入watch
 watch: {
  //观察option的变化
  option: {
   handler(newVal, oldVal) {
    if (this.chart) {
     if (newVal) {
      this.chart.setOption(newVal);
     } else {
      this.chart.setOption(oldVal);
     }
    } else {
      this.init();
    }
   },
   deep: true //对象内部属性的监听，关键。
  }
 }

The above code implements our monitoring of property changes in the option object. Once the If the data changes, the chart will be re-rendered.

Achieve dynamic refresh

The next step, I think everyone knows, is to regularly pull data from the background, and then update the option of the parent component Just fine. There are two questions that need to be considered here:

If the chart requires adding one data per second, how should the data request be performed to achieve a balance between performance and user experience?
Should the code for dynamically updating data be placed in the parent component or the child component?

Regarding the first question, obtaining the server data in real time every second is definitely the most accurate. There are two solutions:

Request to the background once per second
Maintain a long connection, and the background pushes data to the front end once per second

第一种方案无疑对性能和资源产生了极大的浪费；除非实时性要求特别高（股票系统），否则不推荐这种方式；

第二种方案需要使用web Socket，但在服务端需要进行额外的开发工作。

笔者基于项目的实际需求（实时性要求不高，且后台生成数据也有一定的延迟性），采用了以下方案：

前端每隔一分钟向后台请求一次数据，且为当前时间的上一分钟的数据；
前端将上述数据每隔一秒向图表set一次数据

关于第二个问题：笔者更倾向于将Chart组件设计成纯组件，即只接收父组件传递的数据进行变化，不在内部进行复杂操作；这也符合目前前端MVVM框架的最佳实践；而且若将数据传递到Chart组件内部再进行处理，一是遇到不需要动态渲染的需求还需要对组件进行额外处理，二是要在Chart内部做ajax操作，这样就导致Chart完全没有了可复用性。

接下来我们修改App.vue

<template>
 <p id="app">
  <Chart id="test" :option="option"/>
 </p>
</template>
<script>
import vueEcharts from "./components/vueEcharts";
export default {
 name: "App",
 data() {
  return {
   //笔者使用了mock数据代表从服务器获取的数据
   chartData: {
    xData: ["衬衫", "羊毛衫", "雪纺衫", "裤子", "高跟鞋", "袜子"],
    sData: [5, 20, 36, 10, 10, 70]
   }
  };
 },
 components: {
  Chart
 },
 mounted() {
  this.refreshData();
 },
 methods: {
  //添加refreshData方法进行自动设置数据
  refreshData() {
   //横轴数据
   let xData = this.chartData.xData,
    //系列值
     sData = this.chartData.sData;
   for (let i = 0; i < xData.length; i++) {
    //此处使用let是关键，也可以使用闭包。原理不再赘述
      setTimeout(() => {
     this.option.xAxis.data.push(xData[i]);
     this.option.series[0].data.push(sData[i]);
    }, 1000*i)//此处要理解为什么是1000*i
   }
  }
 }
};
</script>

至此我们就实现了图表动态数据加载，效果如下图：
