Getting Started with Chart
The Syncfusion Blazor Chart component is a powerful, lightweight solution for visualizing data with interactive and responsive charts. This guide provides a quick setup and minimal usage example to get you creating charts quickly.
Prerequisites
- .NET 9.0 or later
- Blazor Server or WebAssembly project
- Developer tooling such as Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code
Install
Install the NuGet package into your Blazor project:
dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Toolkit
Register Services (Program.cs)
Add the toolkit services to your application's startup. Example for a Server-hosted app:
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Toolkit; var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args); builder.Services.AddRazorComponents().AddInteractiveServerComponents(); // Register Syncfusion Toolkit services builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazorToolkit(); var app = builder.Build();
For WebAssembly projects, register the corresponding interactive/webassembly services in the client project's Program.cs.
Include Assets
Include the Syncfusion theme CSS in your layout file (App.razor or index.html). Add the following link in the <head> section:
<link id="syncfusion-theme" href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Toolkit/styles/fluent.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
Choose a theme that suits your application. Available themes include bootstrap5, fluent, material, and more.
Basic Chart Example
Create a basic Column Chart with sample data:
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Toolkit.Charts
<SfChart>
<ChartSeries DataSource="@Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="ChartSeriesType.Column">
</ChartSeries>
</SfChart>
@code {
public class SalesInfo
{
public string Month { get; set; }
public double SalesValue { get; set; }
}
public List<SalesInfo> Sales = new List<SalesInfo>
{
new SalesInfo { Month = "Jan", SalesValue = 35 },
new SalesInfo { Month = "Feb", SalesValue = 28 },
new SalesInfo { Month = "Mar", SalesValue = 34 },
new SalesInfo { Month = "Apr", SalesValue = 32 },
new SalesInfo { Month = "May", SalesValue = 40 },
new SalesInfo { Month = "Jun", SalesValue = 32 },
new SalesInfo { Month = "Jul", SalesValue = 35 }
};
}Adding Chart Title
Display a meaningful title to provide context about the data:
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Toolkit.Charts
<SfChart Title="Sales Analysis">
<ChartPrimaryXAxis Title="Month" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Toolkit.ValueType.Category"></ChartPrimaryXAxis>
<ChartPrimaryYAxis Title="Sales in Dollar"></ChartPrimaryYAxis>
<ChartSeries DataSource="@Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="ChartSeriesType.Column">
</ChartSeries>
</SfChart>Adding Data Labels
Enable data labels to display values on each data point:
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Toolkit.Charts
<SfChart Title="Sales Analysis">
<ChartPrimaryXAxis Title="Month" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Toolkit.ValueType.Category"></ChartPrimaryXAxis>
<ChartPrimaryYAxis Title="Sales in Dollar"></ChartPrimaryYAxis>
<ChartSeries DataSource="@Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="ChartSeriesType.Column">
<ChartMarker>
<ChartDataLabel Visible="true"></ChartDataLabel>
</ChartMarker>
</ChartSeries>
</SfChart>Adding Tooltip
Enable tooltips to show data point information on hover:
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Toolkit.Charts
<SfChart Title="Sales Analysis">
<ChartPrimaryXAxis Title="Month" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Toolkit.ValueType.Category"></ChartPrimaryXAxis>
<ChartPrimaryYAxis Title="Sales in Dollar"></ChartPrimaryYAxis>
<ChartTooltipSettings Enable="true"></ChartTooltipSettings>
<ChartSeries DataSource="@Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="ChartSeriesType.Column">
</ChartSeries>
