- via
<script>tag and the filedist/chartist-plugin-tooltip.min.js:
var chart = new Chartist.Line('.ct-chart', data, {
plugins: [
Chartist.plugins.tooltip()
]
});(WARNING: If you used the version 0.0.17 from NPM (latest) of the package chartist-plugin-tooltips.
The s of tooltips
got removed
in the plugin function: Chartist.plugins.tooltips())
- or via a CommonJS import (like in NodeJS):
import Chartist from 'chartist';
import ChartistTooltip from 'chartist-plugin-tooltips-updated';
let chart = new Chartist.Line('.ct-chart', data, {
plugins: [
ChartistTooltip()
]
});With descriptive text:
var chart = new Chartist.Line('.ct-chart', {
labels: [1, 2, 3],
series: [
[
{meta: 'description', value: 1},
{meta: 'description', value: 5},
{meta: 'description', value: 3}
],
[
{meta: 'other description', value: 2},
{meta: 'other description', value: 4},
{meta: 'other description', value: 2}
]
]
}, {
plugins: [
Chartist.plugins.tooltip()
]
});Without descriptive text:
var chart = new Chartist.Line('.ct-chart', {
labels: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7],
series: [
[1, 5, 3, 4, 6, 2, 3],
[2, 4, 2, 5, 4, 3, 6]
]
}, {
plugins: [
Chartist.plugins.tooltip()
]
});With options text:
var chart = new Chartist.Line('.ct-chart', {
labels: [1, 2, 3],
series: [
[
{meta: 'description', value: 1},
{meta: 'description', value: 5},
{meta: 'description', value: 3}
],
[
{meta: 'other description', value: 2},
{meta: 'other description', value: 4},
{meta: 'other description', value: 2}
]
]
}, {
plugins: [
Chartist.plugins.tooltip({
currency: '$',
class: 'class1 class2',
appendToBody: true
})
]
});If you change the css properties of the tooltip, you shouldn't change the display property,
otherwise the position of the tooltip will be wrong!
In ChartistJS you can replace default element with smth different. There is a pretty demo (USING EVENTS TO REPLACE GRAPHICS). And if you want the tooltip to work fine with a new element, you need to include two more properties:
'ct:value': data.value.y,
'ct:meta': data.meta,AND you have to add the following css rule to the new element by using the style option
or by adding this rule to your css class:
pointer-events: all!important;(If you want to read more about, why you have to add this css rule take a look at chartist-plugin-tooltip#72)
So the final code could look like this. Here is a live demo
chart.on('draw', function(data) {
// If the draw event was triggered from drawing a point on the line chart
if(data.type === 'point') {
// We are creating a new path SVG element that draws a triangle around the point coordinates
var circle = new Chartist.Svg('circle', {
cx: [data.x],
cy: [data.y],
r: [5],
'ct:value': data.value.y,
'ct:meta': data.meta,
style: 'pointer-events: all !important',
class: 'my-cool-point',
}, 'ct-area');
// With data.element we get the Chartist SVG wrapper and we can replace the original point drawn by Chartist with our newly created triangle
data.element.replace(circle);
}
});plugins: [
Chartist.plugins.tooltip({
appendToBody: true,
pointClass: 'my-cool-point'
})
]
