graphieros/vue-data-ui vue-data-ui@3.25.9

• Docs: https://vue-data-ui.graphieros.com/ (per-component pages: https://vue-data-ui.graphieros.com/docs#vue-ui-<name>)
• Repo: https://github.com/graphieros/vue-data-ui
• Requires vue >= 3.3.0; jspdf >= 3.0.1 is an optional peer dep, install it only for the PDF export feature (package.json:112-119).
• Types ship with the package; main entry types resolve to dist/types/vue-data-ui.d.ts (package.json:66-90).

References

• API surface: entry points, import styles, utils, composables, SSR.
• Components: catalog, common props/emits/exposed methods/slots.
• Customization: config patterns, themes, user options, slots, a11y, responsive, big data.
• Migration v3.19.2 to v3.25.9: API deltas incl. the v3.25.0 breaking change.

Setup

npm i vue-data-ui

<script setup>
import { ref } from "vue";
import { VueUiDonut } from "vue-data-ui";
import "vue-data-ui/style.css"; // required css

const dataset = ref([
  { name: "A", value: 12 },
  { name: "B", value: 88 },
]);
const config = ref({ theme: "zen" });
</script>

<template>
  <VueUiDonut :dataset="dataset" :config="config" />
</template>

Every component takes a dataset prop and a config object prop. Pass a partial config; the component merges it over defaults. Prefer computed configs so mutations stay reactive.

Common tasks

Build a typed config from defaults and override safely:

import { getVueDataUiConfig, mergeConfigs, type VueUiXyConfig } from "vue-data-ui";

const config = computed<VueUiXyConfig>(() => mergeConfigs({
  defaultConfig: getVueDataUiConfig("vue_ui_xy"), // snake_case component key
  userConfig: { chart: { title: { text: "Sales" } } },
}));

Call exposed methods through a template ref (available per component, see components reference):

const chart = useTemplateRef("chart");
const data = await chart.value.getData();
const img = await chart.value.getImage({ scale: 2 }); // { imgUri, base64, title, width, height, aspectRatio }
chart.value.showSeries("Series 1"); // or hideSeries("Series 1")

Customize tooltips with tooltip.customFormat: ({ seriesIndex, datapoint, series, config }) => string, or richer content via #tooltip-before / #tooltip-after slots. Customize data labels with formatter: ({ value, config }) => string.

Drag tooltips out of the pointer's way with the useTooltipPosition composable (since v3.22.0):

import { useTooltipPosition } from "vue-data-ui/composables";
const chartRef = useTemplateRef("chartRef");
const tooltipPosition = useTooltipPosition(chartRef); // ComputedRef<"left" | "right" | "center">
const config = computed(() => ({ chart: { tooltip: { position: tooltipPosition.value } } }));

Render static SVG server-side (no browser needed):

import { createStaticVueUiXy } from "vue-data-ui/ssr"; // or 'vue-data-ui/ssr/vue-ui-xy' (treeshaken)
const svg = await createStaticVueUiXy({ dataset, config });

Best practices

• Use VueUiXyCanvas instead of VueUiXy for very large datasets; tune config.downsample.threshold (LTTB downsampling). Defaults: Xy 1095, XyCanvas 10000, Quadrant/Scatter/Sparkline/SparkTrend 1095 (README.md:979-1002).
• With config.responsive: true, place charts in a container with fixed dimensions; a 100% height container makes the chart grow infinitely (README.md:968-977).
• Opt in to pointer cursors with config.useCursorPointer: true; disabled by default for a11y (README.md:1521-1529).
• Enable the a11y alt-text button with userOptions.buttons.altCopy: true plus a userOptions.callbacks.altCopy callback (README.md:1488-1519).
• Reverse an axis with the dedicated reverse config flags (since v3.20.7), do not hack negative values. X axis: chart.grid.labels.xAxis.reverse; y axis: chart.grid.labels.yAxis.reverse (VueUiXy).
• Gate config.debug and config.devHints.enable behind a dev environment variable; some critical warnings still print (v3.23.0, v3.23.2 release notes).
• Use legend.selectAllToggle.show: true to offer a select-all checkbox (more than 2 series); @selectLegend also fires when it is toggled (since v3.19.9).
• Import from vue-data-ui/utils for utilities the main entry does not re-export, e.g. adaptColorToBackground (dist/utils.js export list).
• Do not pass bar type series mixed with continuous { x, y } series in VueUiXy; bars are hidden and a warning is logged (v3.20.7 release notes).
• #tooltip slots replace default content; #tooltip-before/#tooltip-after prepend/append instead.

Version limits and breaking changes

• v3.25.0 (breaking): showOnlyAtModulo now applies a real modulo and the modulo default changed from 12 to 2; use the new showFirstAndLast: true to force edge labels. Affects VueUiXy (+SSR), VueUiStackbar, VueUiStackline, VueUiCandlestick. See migration.
• v3 is not breaking vs v2, but some padding configs changed (README.md:185-200).
• Since v3.14.3 locale files are removed; time labels rely on Intl (v3.14.3 release notes).
