svelte-lightweight-charts

This package is a Svelte wrapper for lightweight-charts

Demo

Here are some official examples rewritten on Svelte. Each example you can open in the REPL to modify or fork

If you need more information you can see demo app sources or example sources

Installing

npm install lightweight-charts svelte-lightweight-charts

Usage

<script>
    import { Chart, LineSeries } from "svelte-lightweight-charts";
    const data = [
        { time: '2019-04-11', value: 80.01 },
        { time: '2019-04-12', value: 96.63 },
        { time: '2019-04-13', value: 76.64 },
        { time: '2019-04-14', value: 81.89 },
        { time: '2019-04-15', value: 74.43 },
        { time: '2019-04-16', value: 80.01 },
        { time: '2019-04-17', value: 96.63 },
        { time: '2019-04-18', value: 76.64 },
        { time: '2019-04-19', value: 81.89 },
        { time: '2019-04-20', value: 74.43 },
    ];
</script>
<Chart width={800} height={600}>
    <LineSeries data={data}/>
</Chart>

Getting reference to lightweight-chart objects

You can use the ref property to get a reference to a lightweight-chart api-instance from any component.

<script>
    let chartApi;
</script>
<Chart width={400} height={300} ref={(ref) => chartApi = ref}/>
<button on:click={() => chartApi.timeScale().fitContent()}>Fit Content</button>

The value of ref property must be a function: (api: T | null) => void.

It is guaranteed that ref-callback will be called with some value when the component is mounted and with null value when the component is unmounted. If you change the ref-callback, then the previous callback will be called with a null value, and the next callback will be called with the actual value.

Components

Chart

<Chart> - main chart container and wrapping dom element. You can pass any option from ChartOptions as separate property.

Using container property you can get access to containing element:

container?: {
    ref?: (element: HTMLElement | null) => void;
    class?: string;
    id?: string;
    style?: string;
}

If you need a reference to the containing dom element you can use ref property. It might be useful to setup IntersectionObserver on this dom element.

Use class or style properties with <Chart autoSize={true}/> to set up an adaptive chart:

<Chart
    autoSize={true}
    container={{class: 'chart-container'}}
>
    <LineSeries data={data}/>
</Chart>
<style>
:global(.chart-container) {
    aspect-ratio: 16 / 9;
    width: 80%;
    margin: auto;
}
</style>

SSR

The chart component will reserve the specified width and height during SSR if the chart is not auto-sized.

Events:

  • on:crosshairMove: (event: CustomEvent<MouseEventParams>) => void
  • on:click: (event: CustomEvent<MouseEventParams>) => void

Use the ref property to get a reference to a IChartApi instance

Series

Following types of series are supported:

  • <AreaSeries>
  • <BarSeries>
  • <BaselineSeries>
  • <CandlestickSeries>
  • <HistogramSeries>
  • <LineSeries>

Series components should be nested inside a chart component.

You can pass any series option as separate property. List of available options corresponding to each type of series can be found here

Use the ref property to get reference to a ISeriesApi<SeriesType> instance.

Passing data

To pass a data to a series you can use the data property. Look here to find what shape of data you need for each series type.

By default data represents only the initial data. Any subsequent data update does not update series. If you want to change this behavior please add reactive={true} to your series component. In this case series will apply a new data if it is not reference equal to previous array.

Passing markers

To pass markers to a series you can use the markers property. Markers should be an array of SeriesMarker<Time>.

Price line

To draw price line add <PriceLine> component inside any series.

    <Chart width={600} height={300}>
        <LineSeries data={data}>
            <PriceLine
                title="minimum price"
                price={minimumPrice}
            />
            <PriceLine
                title="average price"
                price={avgPrice}
            />
            <PriceLine
                title="maximum price"
                price={maximumPrice}
            />
        </LineSeries>
    </Chart>

You can pass any options from PriceLineOptions as separate property. The price property is mandatory in dev mode.

Use the ref property to get reference to a IPriceLine instance.

Line drawing on click

You can draw price lines dynamically. For example, you can draw a price line at a user-specified point.

Time scale

<TimeScale> - the component is a binding to the current time scale of the current chart. This component has to be nested inside a chart component and should not have duplicates. Each chart has only one time scale.

You can pass any option from TimeScaleOptions as separate property.

Events:

Use the ref property to get reference to a ITimeScaleApi instance.

Note: don't use ChartOptions['timeScale'] and <TimeScale> component at the same time. This can lead to uncontrolled overwriting of options.

Price scale

<PriceScale> - the component is a bindings to a certain price scale. This component has to be nested inside chart component and requires an id property. Two price scales with the same id within the same chart result in undefined behaviour.

You can pass any option from PriceScaleOptions as separate property.

Note: don't use ChartOptions['leftPriceScale']' or ChartOptions['rightPriceScale'] or ChartOptions['overlayPriceScale'] and <PriceScale> at the same time. This can lead to uncontrolled overwriting of options.

Typescript

Package is written on TypeScript and transpiled to plain *.js and *.svelte files. Definition files (including *.svelte.d.ts) are provided with package. It is a good place to find list of available properties that can be passed to each component.
