argumentField

Specifies the data source field that provides arguments for a sparkline.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'arg'

dataSource

Binds the widget to data.

Cannot be used in themes.

If you use DevExtreme ASP.NET MVC Controls, refer to the Data Binding article.

The Sparkline works with collections of objects.

Depending on your data source, bind the Sparkline to data as follows. In each case, also specify the argumentField and valueField options.

  • Data Array
    Assign the array to the dataSource option. View Demo

  • Read-Only Data in JSON Format
    Set the dataSource option to the URL of a JSON file or service that returns JSON data.

  • OData
    Implement an ODataStore.

  • Web API, PHP, MongoDB
    Use one of the following extensions to enable the server to process data according to the protocol DevExtreme widgets use:

    Then, use the createStore method to configure access to the server on the client as shown below. This method is part of DevExtreme.AspNet.Data.

  • Any other data source
    Implement a CustomStore.

Regardless of the data source on the input, the Sparkline always wraps it in the DataSource object. This object allows you to sort, filter, group, and otherwise shape data. To get its instance, call the getDataSource() method.

NOTE

Please review the following notes about data binding:

  • Data field names should not contain the following characters: ., ,, :, [, and ].

  • DataSource and stores provide methods to process and update data. However, the methods do not allow you to perform particular tasks (for example, replace the entire dataset, reconfigure data access at runtime). For such tasks, create a new array, store, or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource option as shown in the articles about changing options in jQuery, Angular, React, and Vue.

pointColor

Sets a color for points on a sparkline. Available for the sparklines of the line- and area-like types.

Type:

Default Value: '#ffffff'

This option supports the following colors:

pointSize

Specifies the diameter of sparkline points in pixels. Available for the sparklines of line- and area-like types.

Default Value: 'circle'
Accepted Values: 'circle' | 'cross' | 'polygon' | 'square' | 'triangle'

Use the VizPointSymbol enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC Control. This enum accepts the following values: Circle, Square, Polygon, Triangle, and Cross.

rtlEnabled

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

Type:

Boolean

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
});

showFirstLast

Specifies whether or not to indicate both the first and last values on a sparkline.

Type:

When this option is set to true, the minimum and maximum values are highlighted and painted in the colors specified by the minColor and maxColor options correspondingly.

size

Specifies the widget's size in pixels.

Type:

Object

Default Value: undefined

By default, the widget occupies the entire area of the container. If you need to set a particular size for the widget, different from the container's size, assign a height and width in pixels to height and width properties of the size object.

Using the size object, you can hide the widget. For this purpose, simply assign 0 to both the height and width of the widget.

NOTE
The size configuration object reserves space for the main widget elements, while displaying a tooltip may require extra space. To reserve the area around the widget for the tooltip, you can apply a margin to the widget's container.

theme

Sets the name of the theme the widget uses.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'generic.light'
Accepted Values: 'generic.dark' | 'generic.light' | 'generic.contrast' | 'ios7.default' | 'generic.carmine' | 'generic.darkmoon' | 'generic.darkviolet' | 'generic.greenmist' | 'generic.softblue' | 'material.blue.light' | 'material.lime.light' | 'material.orange.light' | 'material.purple.light' | 'material.teal.light'

A theme is a widget configuration that gives the widget a distinctive appearance. Use can use one of the predefined themes or create a custom one. Changing the option values in the widget's configuration object overrides the theme's corresponding values.

NOTE
The following themes were deprecated or renamed: 'android5.light', 'win8.white', 'win8.black', 'win8.light', 'win8.dark', 'win10.white', 'win10.black', 'win10.light', 'win10.dark'. In new applications, use themes listed in the accepted values.

Use the VizTheme enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC Control. This enum accepts the following values: GenericLight, GenericDark, GenericContrast, GenericCarmine, GenericDarkMoon, GenericSoftBlue, GenericDarkViolet, GenericGreenMist, IOS7Default, MaterialBlueLight, MaterialLimeLight, MaterialOrangeLight, MaterialPurpleLight, MaterialTealLight.

tooltip

Configures the tooltip.

Type:

Object

A tooltip is a miniature rectangle displaying widget data. The tooltip appears when the end-user hovers the cursor over the widget. You can enable/disable the tooltip, change its appearance and format its text using fields of the tooltip configuration object.

NOTE
The tooltip is displayed outside the widget's container. If you plan to use the tooltip, make sure there is enough space around your widget to display it. For example, you can apply a margin to the widget's container to reserve the area around the widget for the tooltip.

type

Determines the type of a sparkline.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'line'
Accepted Values: 'area' | 'bar' | 'line' | 'spline' | 'splinearea' | 'steparea' | 'stepline' | 'winloss'

A sparkline type determines the visual representation of data. Different options of the Sparkline widget are available for different types. The table below reflects options that can be configured for the sparkline of a certain type.

To see the sparklines of each type in operation, refer to our Visualization Gallery.

Use the SparklineType enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC Control. This enum accepts the following values: Line, Spline, StepLine, Area, SplineArea, StepArea, Bar, and WinLoss.

valueField

Specifies the data source field that provides values for a sparkline.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'val'

winColor

Sets a color for the bars indicating the values greater than a winloss threshold. Available for a sparkline of the winloss type only.

Type:

String

Default Value: '#a9a9a9'

This option supports the following colors:

To set a color for the bars indicating the values that are less than the winloss threshold, specify the lossColor option.

winlossThreshold

Specifies a value that serves as a threshold for the sparkline of the winloss type.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 0

In the winloss sparkline, values are represented by bars that either grow up or go down from an invisible line. This line is determined by a threshold value. If a data source value is greater than this threshold value, the bar grows up. Otherwise, it goes down.

You can paint the 'win' and 'loss' bars differently. For this purpose, specify the required colors using the winColor and lossColor options respectively.
