First, install ECharts using one of the following methods:
Download official source release from Apache ECharts (incubating) website. Then build from the source release.
Download from GitHub
Using npm: npm install echarts --save
. Using ECharts with webpack
Use CDN like jsDelivr.
Load echarts.min.js
with a script tag.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <!-- including ECharts file --> <script src="echarts.min.js"></script> </head> </html>
Before drawing charts, we need to prepare a DOM container with width and height for ECharts.
<body> <!-- preparing a DOM with width and height for ECharts --> <div id="main" style="width:600px; height:400px;"></div> </body>
Then we can initialize an ECharts instance using echarts.init, and create a simple bar chart with setOption. Below is the complete code.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>ECharts</title> <!-- including ECharts file --> <script src="echarts.js"></script> </head> <body> <!-- prepare a DOM container with width and height --> <div id="main" style="width: 600px;height:400px;"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> // based on prepared DOM, initialize echarts instance var myChart = echarts.init(document.getElementById('main')); // specify chart configuration item and data var option = { title: { text: 'ECharts entry example' }, tooltip: {}, legend: { data:['Sales'] }, xAxis: { data: ["shirt","cardign","chiffon shirt","pants","heels","socks"] }, yAxis: {}, series: [{ name: 'Sales', type: 'bar', data: [5, 20, 36, 10, 10, 20] }] }; // use configuration item and data specified to show chart myChart.setOption(option); </script> </body> </html>
You've made your first chart!
