27 Nov 202513 minutes to read

This section briefly explains about how to include Blazor Accumulation Chart component in your Blazor Web App using Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, and the .NET CLI.

Prerequisites

Create a new Blazor Web App in Visual Studio

You can create a Blazor Web App using Visual Studio 2022 via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion® Blazor Extension.

Configure the appropriate Interactive render mode and Interactivity location while creating a Blazor Web App.

Install Syncfusion® Blazor Charts and Themes NuGet in the App

To add the Blazor Accumulation Chart component in the app, open the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), then search and install Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts and Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes.

If using the WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web, install Syncfusion® Blazor component NuGet packages in the client project.

Alternatively, you can utilize the following package manager command to achieve the same.

Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts -Version 31.2.12
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -Version 31.2.12

NOTE

Syncfusion® Blazor components are available in nuget.org. Refer to the NuGet packages topic for the available NuGet packages list with component details.

Prerequisites

Create a new Blazor Web App in Visual Studio Code

You can create a Blazor Web App using Visual Studio Code via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion® Blazor Extension.

Configure the appropriate interactive render mode and interactivity location when setting up a Blazor Web App. For detailed information, refer to the interactive render mode documentation.

For example, in a Blazor Web App with the Auto interactive render mode, use the following commands.

dotnet new blazor -o BlazorWebApp -int Auto
cd BlazorWebApp
cd BlazorWebApp.Client

Install Syncfusion® Blazor Charts and Themes NuGet in the App

If using the WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web App, install Syncfusion® Blazor component NuGet packages in the client project.

  • Press Ctrl+` to open the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code.
  • Ensure you’re in the project root directory where your .csproj file is located.
  • Run the following command to install a Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts and Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes NuGet package and ensure all dependencies are installed.
dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts -v 31.2.12
dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -v 31.2.12
dotnet restore

NOTE

Syncfusion® Blazor components are available in nuget.org. Refer to the NuGet packages topic for the available NuGet packages list with component details.

Prerequisites

Latest version of the .NET SDK. If you previously installed the SDK, you can determine the installed version by executing the following command in a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS) or command shell (Linux).

dotnet --version

Create a Blazor Web App using .NET CLI

Run the following command to create a new Blazor Web App in a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS) or command shell (Linux).

Configure the appropriate interactive render mode and interactivity location when setting up a Blazor Web Application. For detailed information, refer to the interactive render mode documentation.

For example, in a Blazor Web App with the Auto interactive render mode, use the following commands.

dotnet new blazor -o BlazorWebApp -int Auto
cd BlazorWebApp
cd BlazorWebApp.Client

This command creates a new Blazor Web App and places it in a new directory called BlazorWebApp inside your current location. See the Create a Blazor App and dotnet new CLI command topics for more details.

Install Syncfusion® Blazor Charts and Themes NuGet in the App

Here’s an example of how to add the Blazor Accumulation Chart component to the application by using the following commands in a command prompt (Windows), terminal (Linux and macOS), or PowerShell to install the Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts and Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes NuGet packages. See Install and manage packages using the dotnet CLI for more details.

If using the WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web App, install Syncfusion® Blazor component NuGet packages in the client project.

dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts --version 31.2.12
dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes --version 31.2.12
dotnet restore

NOTE

Syncfusion® Blazor components are available in nuget.org. Refer to the NuGet packages topic for the available NuGet package list with component details.

Add Import Namespaces

Open the ~/_Imports.razor file in the client project and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts namespaces.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts

Register Syncfusion® Blazor Service

Register the Syncfusion® Blazor Service in the ~/Program.cs file of your Blazor Web App.

If the Interactive Render Mode is set to WebAssembly or Auto, register the Syncfusion® Blazor service in the ~/Program.cs files of the main server project and associated .Client project.

...
...
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddRazorComponents()
    .AddInteractiveServerComponents()
    .AddInteractiveWebAssemblyComponents();
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();

var app = builder.Build();
....
...
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();

await builder.Build().RunAsync();

Add stylesheet and script resources

The theme stylesheet and script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the stylesheet reference in the <head> section and the script reference at the end of the <body> in the ~/Components/App.razor file as shown below:

<head>
    ....
    <link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/bootstrap5.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
....
<body>
    ....
    <script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>

NOTE

Check out the Blazor Themes topic to discover various methods (Static Web Assets, CDN, and CRG) for referencing themes in your Blazor application. Also, check out the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in your Blazor application.

Add Syncfusion® Blazor Accumulation Chart component

Add the Syncfusion® Blazor Accumulation Chart component to a Razor page located under the Pages folder (e.g., Pages/Home.razor) in either the Server or Client project. If an interactivity location as Per page/component in the web app, define a render mode at top of the component, as follows:

Interactivity location RenderMode Code
Per page/component Auto @rendermode InteractiveAuto
  WebAssembly @rendermode InteractiveWebAssembly
  None —

NOTE

If an Interactivity Location is set to Global and the Render Mode is set to Auto or WebAssembly, the render mode is configured in the App.razor file by default.

@* desired render mode define here *@
@rendermode InteractiveAuto
<SfAccumulationChart>
    <AccumulationChartSeriesCollection>
        <AccumulationChartSeries DataSource="@MedalDetails" XName="Country" YName="Medals">
        </AccumulationChartSeries>
    </AccumulationChartSeriesCollection>
</SfAccumulationChart>

@code{
    public class ChartData
    {
        public string Country { get; set;}
        public double Medals { get; set;}
    }

    public List<ChartData> MedalDetails = new List<ChartData>
    {
        new ChartData { Country= "United States of America", Medals= 46 },
        new ChartData { Country= "Great Britain", Medals= 27 },
        new ChartData { Country= "China", Medals= 26 },
        new ChartData { Country= "United Kingdom", Medals= 23 },
        new ChartData { Country= "Australia", Medals= 16 },
        new ChartData { Country= "India", Medals= 36 },
        new ChartData { Country= "Nigeria", Medals= 12 },
        new ChartData { Country= "Brazil", Medals= 20 },
     };
}

Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. This will render the Syncfusion® Blazor Accumulation Chart component in the default web browser.

Add title

Using the Title property, a title to the accumulation chart is added to provide the user with quick information about the data plotted in the chart.

<SfAccumulationChart Title="Olympic Medal Details">
    <AccumulationChartSeriesCollection>
        <AccumulationChartSeries DataSource="@MedalDetails" XName="Country" YName="Medals">
        </AccumulationChartSeries>
    </AccumulationChartSeriesCollection>
</SfAccumulationChart>
@code{
    public class ChartData
    {
        public string Country { get; set; }
        public double Medals { get; set; }
    }

    public List<ChartData> MedalDetails = new List<ChartData>
    {
        new ChartData { Country= "United States of America", Medals= 46 },
        new ChartData { Country= "Great Britain", Medals= 27 },
        new ChartData { Country= "China", Medals= 26 },
        new ChartData { Country= "United Kingdom", Medals= 23 },
        new ChartData { Country= "Australia", Medals= 16 },
        new ChartData { Country= "India", Medals= 36 },
        new ChartData { Country= "Nigeria", Medals= 12 },
        new ChartData { Country= "Brazil", Medals= 20 },
     };
}
Adding Title in Blazor Accumulation Chart

Add data label

The data labels are added to improve the readability of the accumulation chart. This can be achieved by setting the Visible property to true in the AccumulationDataLabelSettings.

<SfAccumulationChart Title="Olympic Medal Details">
    <AccumulationChartSeriesCollection>
        <AccumulationChartSeries DataSource="@MedalDetails" XName="Country" YName="Medals">
            <AccumulationDataLabelSettings Visible="true"/>
        </AccumulationChartSeries>
    </AccumulationChartSeriesCollection>
</SfAccumulationChart>
Adding Data Label in Blazor Accumulation Chart

Enable Tooltip

When space constraints prevent from displaying the information using data labels, the tooltip comes in handy. The tooltip can be enabled by setting the Enable property in AccumulationChartTooltipSettings to true.

<SfAccumulationChart Title="Olympic Medal Details">
    <AccumulationChartSeriesCollection>
        <AccumulationChartSeries DataSource="@MedalDetails" XName="Country" YName="Medals">
        </AccumulationChartSeries>
    </AccumulationChartSeriesCollection>
    <AccumulationChartTooltipSettings Enable="true"></AccumulationChartTooltipSettings>
</SfAccumulationChart>
Blazor Accumulation Chart displays Tooltip

Enable Legend

Legend is used for the accumulation chart by setting the Visible property to true in the AccumulationChartLegendSettings.

<SfAccumulationChart Title="Olympic Medal Details">
    <AccumulationChartSeriesCollection>
        <AccumulationChartSeries DataSource="@MedalDetails" XName="Country" YName="Medals">
            <AccumulationDataLabelSettings Visible="true"></AccumulationDataLabelSettings>
        </AccumulationChartSeries>
    </AccumulationChartSeriesCollection>
    <AccumulationChartTooltipSettings Enable="true"></AccumulationChartTooltipSettings>
    <AccumulationChartLegendSettings Visible="true"></AccumulationChartLegendSettings>
</SfAccumulationChart>
  • Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. This will render the Syncfusion® Blazor Accumulation component in your default web browser.
