Data Streaming

varchart1=newTaucharts.Chart({type : 'line',x : 'x',y : 'y',color: 'type',
...
});

Migrating from Taucharts v1 to v2

• D3 v4 is now dependency.
• Taucharts global object name (was tauCharts).
• .tau-chart__ CSS class prefix (was.graphical-report__).
• export-to plugin alias changed (was exportTo).
• Distributive files paths changed. dist/taucharts.min.js and dist/taucharts.min.css contain the core and all the plugins minified together. dist/taucharts.js and dist/taucharts.css contain unfinified core, JS and CSS for plugins can be found in dist/plugins/ folder (e.g. to import a plugin you should do something like import tooltip from 'taucharts/dist/plugins/tooltip';).

npm start

Local server will be started on port 9000 and live taucharts assembly will be exposed by url:

http://localhost:9000/dist/taucharts.js

Now you can see some taucharts examples:

http://localhost:9000/examples/

To run tests (with hot reload):

npm run devtest

To build a static assembly:

npm run build

This command creates development and production assemblies in a [./dist] folder.
