React RangeSelector Props

chart

Specifies the options required to display a chart as the range selector's background.

Type:

View Chart on Background Demo View Customized Chart on Background Demo

The RangeSelector widget can be created with a chart as the background. In this instance, the range selector can be used for selecting the required range on the chart. At the same time, the Chart widget can be displayed near the range selector and zoomed or scrolled according to the range selected in the range selector. For details on how to synchronize these two widgets, refer to the Zooming and Scrolling topic.

To provide a data source for the chart located in the background, set the dataSource property of the rangeSelectorOptions root configuration object and define the series within the chart configuration object. Set the chart series' argumentField and valueField properties to the corresponding data source fields. The argument field will also be used to create the range selector's scale.

NOTE

You may need to use the rangeValue1Field and rangeValue2Field properties instead of the valueField property if you define range-like series. For the candleStick and stock series types, specific properties should also be specified instead of the valueField property.

The color specified for the range selector's background will also be visible in the chart's background by default. You can change it using the color property of the background configuration object. To prohibit the display of the background color, set the background's visible property to false.

containerBackgroundColor

Specifies the color of the parent page element.

Type:

Default Value: '#FFFFFF'

Set this property to the color of the parent page element. Certain RangeSelector elements will use this color to coordinate with the page. For instance, the RangeSelector's shutters use this color, but you can change this color to a custom color.

dataSource

Specifies a data source for the scale values and for the chart at the background.

Type:

Array<any>

DataSource

DataSource Configuration

|

Cannot be used in themes.

Use this property in the following cases:

to initialize a scale with data from one of the data source fields. Set the dataSourceField property to specify which field to use as the source for scale values.
to plot a chart using data from the data source fields. In this case, define the chart series by setting their argumentField and valueField properties. The range selector's scale will represent the chart's argument axis. It is created using data from the field specified by the chart's argumentField property.

The maximum and minimum values of the field specified by the argumentField/dataSourceField property are used as the scale's start and end values. The major tick interval is determined automatically. You can also set the interval using the scale's tickInterval and minorTickInterval properties.

For details on how to configure a data source, refer to the Data Binding topic.

dataSourceField

Specifies the data source field that provides data for the scale.

Type:

Default Value: 'arg'

Use this property to initialize a scale with data from one of the data source's fields. Set the name of the required data source field to this property.

disabled

Specifies whether the widget responds to the user interaction.

Type:

Default Value: false

Cannot be used in themes.

elementAttr

Specifies the attributes to be attached to the widget's root element.

Type:

Default Value: {}

export

Configures the exporting and printing features.

Type:

These features allow a user to export your widget into a document or print it. When exporting is enabled, the "Exporting/Printing" button appears in the widget. A click on it invokes a drop-down menu that lists exporting and printing commands. The following formats are supported for exporting into: PNG, PDF, JPEG, SVG and GIF.

NOTE

Safari on Mac OS does not implement an API for saving files. Therefore, exporting in these browsers requires setting up a server-side proxy. For details, refer to the proxyUrl option description.

indent

Range selector's indent options.

Type:

The indent is used to precisely align scales of several widgets arranged vertically. This is the distance between the container edge and the range selector's scale (see the image below).

RangeSelectorMargin ChartJS

Note that if the indent is set very small, the Scale Labels will be cut.

loadingIndicator

Configures the loading indicator.

Type:

When the widget visualizes local data, loading is instant. But when the widget is bound to a remote data source, loading may takes a considerable amount of time. To keep the viewer's attention, the widget can display a loading indicator.

DevExtreme HTML5 Charts LoadingIndicator

To activate the loading indicator, assign true to the loadingIndicator.show option. Once data is loaded, the loading indicator will be hidden automatically.

margin

Generates space around the widget.

Type:

Notifies the widget that it is embedded into an HTML page that uses a tag modifying the path.

Type:

Default Value: false

Cannot be used in themes.

If you place the widget on a page that uses a tag modifying the path (<base>, <iframe>, etc.), some of the widget elements may get mixed up or disappear. To solve this problem, set the pathModified option to true.

redrawOnResize

Specifies whether to redraw the widget when the size of the parent browser window changes or a mobile device rotates.

Type:

Default Value: true

To redraw the widget after the size of its container has changed, call the render() method of the widget's instance.

rtlEnabled

Switches the widget to a right-to-left representation.

Type:

Default Value: false

Cannot be used in themes.

When this option is set to true, the widget text flows from right to left, and the layout of elements is reversed. To switch the entire application/site to the right-to-left representation, assign true to the rtlEnabled field of the object passed to the DevExpress.config(config) method.

JavaScript

DevExpress.config({
    rtlEnabled: true
});

scale

Specifies options of the range selector's scale.

Type:

To divide a scale, either set the dataSource property or the startValue and endValue properties. In the former case, the start and end values will be calculated based on the values provided by the data source field that is set by the dataSourceField property.

The scale's ticks are arranged automatically, based on the start and end values, so that the tick labels do not overlap each other. You can set a custom tick interval, add minor ticks and format tick labels. These and other scale options are available in the scale configuration object.

Type:

Default Value: '#606060'

size

Specifies the widget's size in pixels.

Type:

Default Value: undefined

The widget occupies its container's entire area by default. Use the size object to specify the widget's size if it should be different from that of its container. Assign 0 to size object's height and width options to hide the widget.

sliderHandle

Specifies the appearance of the range selector's slider handles.

Type:

The range selector's sliders consist of a slider marker and a slider handle. You can drag a marker or a handle to change the selected range. To set the appearance options of the slider handles, use the sliderHandle configuration object. To customize the slider markers, use the sliderMarker configuration object.

sliderMarker

Defines the options of the range selector slider markers.

Type:

When moving a slider, its marker displays the currently selected scale value. Use the sliderMarker object to set the required options for the range selector slider markers. For instance, you can format the markers' text, change the text font, or make the markers invisible.

theme

Sets the name of the theme the widget uses.

Type:

Default Value: 'generic.light'
