jQuery Chart - Update Data

DevExtreme DataSource

NOTE
This technique requires the key specified in the store.

To get the DataSource instance, call the Chart's getDataSource() method:

jQuery
index.js
function getDataSource() {
    return $("#chartContainer").dxChart("getDataSource");
}
Angular
app.component.ts
app.module.ts
import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { DxChartComponent } from 'devextreme-angular';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
    @ViewChild(DxChartComponent, { static: false }) chart: DxChartComponent;
    // Prior to Angular 8
    // @ViewChild(DxChartComponent) chart: DxChartComponent;
    getDataSource() {
        return this.chart.instance.getDataSource();
    }
}
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

import { DxChartModule } from 'devextreme-angular';

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        AppComponent
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        DxChartModule
    ],
    providers: [ ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
Vue
App.vue
<template>
    <DxChart :ref="chartRefKey">
        <!-- ... -->
    </DxChart>
</template>

<script>
import DxChart from 'devextreme-vue/chart';

const chartRefKey = "my-chart";

export default {
    components: {
        DxChart
    },
    data() {
        return {
            chartRefKey
        }
    },
    methods: {
        getDataSource: function() {
            return this.chart.getDataSource();
        }
    },
    computed: {
        chart: function() {
            return this.$refs[chartRefKey].instance;
        }
    }
}
</script>
React
App.js
import { useRef } from 'react';
import Chart from 'devextreme-react/chart';

export default function App() {
    const chart = useRef(null);
    const getDataSource = () => {
        return chart.current.instance.getDataSource();
    }

    return (
        <Chart ref={chart}>
            {/* ... */}
        </Chart>
    );
}

Then, access the underlying store with the store() method, and call the store's push(changes) method to modify data. The Chart will be updated automatically.

JavaScript
getDataSource().store().push([
    { type: "update", key: "Oranges", data: { count: 10 } },
    { type: "remove", key: "Apples" }
]);

JavaScript Array

jQuery

Make changes to the array using standard methods. Then, reassign the updated array to the Chart using the option(optionName, optionValue) method.

JavaScript
var fruits = [
    { fruit: 'Apples', count: 10 },
    { fruit: 'Oranges', count: 12 },
    { fruit: 'Lemons', count: 15 }
];

fruits.push({ fruit: 'Pineapples', count: 3 });
// Reassigns the "fruits" array to the "Chart" 
$("#chartContainer").dxChart("option", "dataSource", fruits);
See Also

Angular

Enclose the dataSource property in square brackets to bind it to an array using one-way binding. Now, whenever an item is added or removed from the array, the Chart will be updated accordingly.

HTML
TypeScript
<dx-chart [dataSource]="fruits"></dx-chart>
import { DxChartModule } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    fruits = [
        { fruit: 'Apples', count: 10 },
        { fruit: 'Oranges', count: 12 },
        { fruit: 'Lemons', count: 15 }
    ];
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        DxChartModule
    ],
    // ...
})

AngularJS

Declare two-way data binding between the dataSource property and the scope property that contains an array. For this, configure the bindingOptions object of the Chart as follows.

HTML
JavaScript
<div ng-controller="DemoController">
    <div dx-chart="{
        ...
        bindingOptions: {
            dataSource: 'fruits'
        }
    }"></div>
</div>
angular.module('DemoApp', ['dx'])
    .controller('DemoController', function ($scope) {
        $scope.fruits = [
            { fruit: 'Apples', count: 10 },
            { fruit: 'Oranges', count: 12 },
            { fruit: 'Lemons', count: 15 }
        ];
    });

Now, whenever an item is added or removed from the fruits array, the Chart will be updated accordingly. If you need to track changes in objects, configure the bindingOptions object as follows.

HTML
<div ng-controller="DemoController">
    <div dx-chart="{
        ...
        bindingOptions: {
            dataSource: {
                dataPath: 'fruits',
                deep: true
            }
        }
    }"></div>
</div>

In this case, the Chart will use the $watch listener instead of the default $watchCollection listener. Note that the use of the $watch listener may impact the Chart's peformance.

Knockout

Declare the array observable and bind the dataSource property to it. Whenever an item is added or removed from this array, the Chart will be updated accordingly.

HTML
JavaScript
<div id="chartContainer" data-bind="dxChart: {
    dataSource: fruits,
    ...
}"></div>
var viewModel = {
    fruits: ko.observableArray([
        { fruit: 'Apples', count: 10 },
        { fruit: 'Oranges', count: 12 },
        { fruit: 'Lemons', count: 15 }
    ])
};

ko.applyBindings(viewModel);
