Installation

Using the angular CLI to start a new project

$ ng new my-project
$ cd my-project
$ npm install angular-plotly.js plotly.js-dist-min --save
$ npm install @types/plotly.js-dist-min --save-dev

Quick start

Add the PlotlyModule into the main app module of your project

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';

import * as PlotlyJS from 'plotly.js-dist-min';
import { PlotlyModule } from 'angular-plotly.js';

PlotlyModule.plotlyjs = PlotlyJS;

@NgModule({
    imports: [CommonModule, PlotlyModule],
    ...
})
export class AppModule { }

Then use the <plotly-plot> component to display the graph

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'plotly-example',
    template: '<plotly-plot [data]="graph.data" [layout]="graph.layout"></plotly-plot>',
})
export class PlotlyExampleComponent {
    public graph = {
        data: [
            { x: [1, 2, 3], y: [2, 6, 3], type: 'scatter', mode: 'lines+points', marker: {color: 'red'} },
            { x: [1, 2, 3], y: [2, 5, 3], type: 'bar' },
        ],
        layout: {width: 320, height: 240, title: 'A Fancy Plot'}
    };
}

You should see a plot like this:

Example plot

The plotly.js is bundled within the angular code. To avoid this, please read how to customize the plotlyjs bundle below.

API Reference

Basic Props

Prop Type Default Description
[data] Array [] list of trace objects (see https://plot.ly/javascript/reference/)
[layout] Object undefined layout object (see https://plot.ly/javascript/reference/#layout)
[frames] Array undefined list of frame objects (see https://plot.ly/javascript/reference/)
[config] Object undefined config object (see https://plot.ly/javascript/configuration-options/)
[revision] Number undefined When provided, causes the plot to update when the revision is incremented.
[updateOnLayoutChange] Boolean true Flag which determines if this component should watch to changes on layout property and update the graph.
[updateOnDataChange] Boolean true Flag which determines if this component should watch to changes on data property and update the graph.
[updateOnlyWithRevision] Boolean false If true, this component will update only when the property revision is increased.
(initialized) Function(figure, graphDiv) undefined Callback executed after plot is initialized. See below for parameter information.
(update) Function(figure, graphDiv) undefined Callback executed when when a plot is updated due to new data or layout, or when user interacts with a plot. See below for parameter information.
(purge) Function(figure, graphDiv) undefined Callback executed when component unmounts, before Plotly.purge strips the graphDiv of all private attributes. See below for parameter information.
(error) Function(err) undefined Callback executed when a plotly.js API method rejects
[divId] string undefined id assigned to the <div> into which the plot is rendered.
[className] string undefined applied to the <div> into which the plot is rendered
[style] Object {position: 'relative', display: 'inline-block'} used to style the <div> into which the plot is rendered
[debug] Boolean false Assign the graph div to window.gd for debugging
[useResizeHandler] Boolean false When true, adds a call to Plotly.Plot.resize() as a window.resize event handler

Note: To make a plot responsive, i.e. to fill its containing element and resize when the window is resized, use style or className to set the dimensions of the element (i.e. using width: 100%; height: 100% or some similar values) and set useResizeHandler to true while setting layout.autosize to true and leaving layout.height and layout.width undefined. This will implement the behaviour documented here: https://plot.ly/javascript/responsive-fluid-layout/

@Component({
    selector: 'plotly-example',
    template: `
    <plotly-plot [data]="graph.data" [layout]="graph.layout"
       [useResizeHandler]="true" [style]="{position: 'relative', width: '100%', height: '100%'}">
    </plotly-plot>`,
})
export class PlotlyExampleComponent {
    public graph = {
        data: [{ x: [1, 2, 3], y: [2, 5, 3], type: 'bar' }],
        layout: {autosize: true, title: 'A Fancy Plot'},
    };
}

Customizing <plotly-plot> component

<plotly-plot> component supports injection of user-defined contents:

<plotly-plot>
    user-defined Angular template
</plotly-plot>

will put the user template into the root <div> of the resulting plotly.js plot, in front of any plotly-generated elements. This could be useful for implementing plot overlays.

Customizing the plotly.js bundle

By default, this library bundles plotly.js from the peer dependency together within the output. This results on huge outputs, for plotly.js itself is ~3MB when bundled. It also makes the build (with ng serve --prod) really slow, for it minifies everything together.

If you wish to optimize loading plotly.js in a different way, please check both PlotlyViaCDNModule and PlotlyViaWindowModule modules below.

Plotly Via CDN Module

If you want to load plotly.js from a CDN, use the PlotlyViaCDNModule and set on the PlotlyViaCDNModule.plotlyVersion property the plotly.js's version you want to use and, optionally, you can also set on the PlotlyViaCDNModule.plotlyBundle property the plotly.js's build you want to use:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';

import { PlotlyViaCDNModule } from 'angular-plotly.js';


PlotlyViaCDNModule.setPlotlyVersion('1.55.2'); // can be `latest` or any version number (i.e.: '1.40.0')
PlotlyViaCDNModule.setPlotlyBundle('basic'); // optional: can be null (for full) or 'basic', 'cartesian', 'geo', 'gl3d', 'gl2d', 'mapbox' or 'finance'

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        CommonModule,
        PlotlyViaCDNModule,
    ],
    ...
})
export class AppModule { }

By default, plotly's CDN is used to fetch the requested bundle.js. However, you can either choose plotly, cloudflare or custom.

...

// For cloudflare
PlotlyViaCDNModule.setPlotlyVersion('1.55.2', 'cloudflare'); // cloudflare doesn't support `latest`. It is mandatory to supply version.
PlotlyViaCDNModule.setPlotlyBundle('basic'); // optional: can be null (for full) or 'basic', 'cartesian', 'geo', 'gl3d', 'gl2d', 'mapbox' or 'finance'

// For custom CDN URL
PlotlyViaCDNModule.loadViaCDN('custom', 'https://custom.cdn/url'); // can be used directly for any self hosted plotly bundle

...

Plotly Via Window Module

plotly.js can be added as a global script on angular.json to avoid it being bundled into the final project's code. To make this happen, you must first add plotly.js path into angular.json file as shown below:

// angular.json
{
    ...
    "projects": {
        "project-name": { // This is your project's name
            ...
            "architect": {
                "build": {
                    ...
                    "options": {
                        "scripts": [
                            "node_modules/plotly.js-dist-min/plotly.min.js" // add this
                        ]
                    }
                }
            }
            ...
        }
    }
}

This will include plotly.js into the vendor.js file generated by angular CLI build process, and plotly.js library will be loaded before angular and your project's code. The window.Plotly will be available. Thus, you must use PlotlyViaWindowModule module to force angular-plotly.js to use window.Plotly object:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';

import { PlotlyViaWindowModule } from 'angular-plotly.js';

@NgModule({
    imports: [CommonModule, PlotlyViaWindowModule],
    ...
})
export class AppModule { }

If you want to use a different precompiled bundle or if you wish to assemble you own customized bundle, you can use PlotlyViaWindowModule to force the use of window.Plotly object as shown above.
