XCharts – Charts and Tables for Financial SaaS Dashboard

Introduction to XCharts: Charts and Tables for Financial SaaS Dashboard

XCharts is a powerful and flexible charting library designed specifically for financial SaaS dashboards. It provides a wide range of charts and tables that can be easily customized to meet the specific needs of your financial application. With XCharts, you can create professional-looking dashboards that provide valuable insights into your financial data.

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of using XCharts to create charts and tables for your financial SaaS dashboard. We will cover the basics of setting up XCharts, creating different types of charts and tables, and customizing their appearance and behavior.

Getting Started with XCharts

To get started with XCharts, you will need to include the XCharts library in your HTML file. You can do this by adding the following script tag to your HTML file:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/xcharts@latest/dist/xcharts.min.js"></script>

Once you have included the XCharts library, you can start creating charts and tables by using the XCharts API.

Creating a Basic Chart

To create a basic chart with XCharts, you will need to create a container element in your HTML file and then use the XCharts API to create a chart within that container. Here is an example of how you can create a basic line chart:

<div id="chart-container"></div>

<script>
  // Create a new chart
  var chart = new XCharts({
    container: '#chart-container',
    type: 'line',
    data: [
      {x: 0, y: 10},
      {x: 1, y: 20},
      {x: 2, y: 30},
      {x: 3, y: 40},
      {x: 4, y: 50}
    ]
  });
</script>

In this example, we create a new chart by passing an options object to the XCharts constructor. The options object specifies the container element, the type of chart to create (in this case, a line chart), and the data for the chart.

Customizing Chart Appearance

XCharts provides a wide range of options for customizing the appearance of your charts. For example, you can change the colors, fonts, and labels used in the chart. Here is an example of how you can customize the appearance of the chart we created earlier:

<div id="chart-container"></div>

<script>
  // Create a new chart
  var chart = new XCharts({
    container: '#chart-container',
    type: 'line',
    data: [
      {x: 0, y: 10},
      {x: 1, y: 20},
      {x: 2, y: 30},
      {x: 3, y: 40},
      {x: 4, y: 50}
    ],
    options: {
      // Change the colors used in the chart
      colors: ['#ff69b4', '#33cc33'],
      // Change the font used in the chart
      font: 'Arial',
      // Change the labels used in the chart
      labels: ['Label 1', 'Label 2', 'Label 3', 'Label 4', 'Label 5']
    }
  });
</script>

In this example, we add an options object to the chart options and specify the colors, font, and labels to use in the chart.

Creating a Table

XCharts also provides a range of options for creating tables. Here is an example of how you can create a basic table:

<div id="table-container"></div>

<script>
  // Create a new table
  var table = new XCharts({
    container: '#table-container',
    type: 'table',
    data: [
      ['Column 1', 'Column 2', 'Column 3'],
      ['Row 1, Column 1', 'Row 1, Column 2', 'Row 1, Column 3'],
      ['Row 2, Column 1', 'Row 2, Column 2', 'Row 2, Column 3'],
      ['Row 3, Column 1', 'Row 3, Column 2', 'Row 3, Column 3']
    ]
  });
</script>

In this example, we create a new table by passing an options object to the XCharts constructor. The options object specifies the container element, the type of table to create (in this case, a basic table), and the data for the table.

Customizing Table Appearance

XCharts provides a range of options for customizing the appearance of your tables. For example, you can change the colors, fonts, and borders used in the table. Here is an example of how you can customize the appearance of the table we created earlier:

<div id="table-container"></div>

<script>
  // Create a new table
  var table = new XCharts({
    container: '#table-container',
    type: 'table',
    data: [
      ['Column 1', 'Column 2', 'Column 3'],
      ['Row 1, Column 1', 'Row 1, Column 2', 'Row 1, Column 3'],
      ['Row 2, Column 1', 'Row 2, Column 2', 'Row 2, Column 3'],
      ['Row 3, Column 1', 'Row 3, Column 2', 'Row 3, Column 3']
    ],
    options: {
      // Change the colors used in the table
      colors: ['#ff69b4', '#33cc33'],
      // Change the font used in the table
      font: 'Arial',
      // Change the borders used in the table
      borders: '1px solid #ccc'
    }
  });
</script>

In this example, we add an options object to the table options and specify the colors, font, and borders to use in the table.
