Prerequisites

Create a new Blazor Web App in Visual Studio

Create a Blazor Web App using Visual Studio via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion® Blazor Extension. For detailed instructions, refer to the Blazor Web App Getting Started documentation.

Prerequisites

Create a new Blazor Web App in Visual Studio Code

Create a Blazor Web App using Visual Studio Code via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion® Blazor Extension. For detailed instructions, refer to the Blazor Web App Getting Started documentation.

For example, in a Blazor Web App with the Auto interactive render mode, use the following commands in the integrated terminal (Ctrl+`).

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

Prerequisites

Install the latest version of .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). For detailed instructions, refer to the Blazor Web App Getting Started documentation.

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

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

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

NOTE

Configure the appropriate Interactive render mode and Interactivity location while creating a Blazor Web App. For detailed information, refer to the interactive render mode documentation.

Install Syncfusion® Blazor packages

Install Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts NuGet package in your project using the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), or the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code (dotnet add package), or the .NET CLI.

Alternatively, run the following command in the Package Manager Console to achieve the same.

Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts -Version 33.2.3

If using the WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web App, install this package in the client project.

NOTE

All Syncfusion Blazor packages are available on nuget.org. See the NuGet packages topic for details.

Add import namespaces

After the package is installed, open the ~/_Imports.razor file from 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.

....
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
....
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
....

NOTE

If the Interactive Render Mode is set to WebAssembly or Auto, register the Syncfusion® Blazor service in Program.cs files of both the server and client projects in your Blazor Web App.

Add script resources

The script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the script reference in the ~/Components/App.razor file.

<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

NOTE

Check out the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in your Blazor application.

Add Syncfusion® Blazor Chart component

Add the Syncfusion® Blazor Chart component in the ~/Components/Pages/*.razor file. If the interactivity location is set to Per page/component in the Web App, define a render mode at the top of the ~Pages/*.razor file. (For example, InteractiveServer, InteractiveWebAssembly or InteractiveAuto).

NOTE

If the Interactivity Location is set to Global with Auto or WebAssembly, the render mode is automatically configured in the App.razor file by default.

@* desired render mode define here *@
@rendermode InteractiveAuto
<SfChart>

</SfChart>
  • Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or +F5 (macOS) to launch the application. This will render the Syncfusion® Blazor Chart component in the default web browser.
Blazor Chart Component

Populate Blazor chart with data

To bind data for the chart component, you can assign a IEnumerable object to the DataSource property. It can also be provided as an instance of the DataManager.

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 }
};

Now, map the data fields Month and Sales to the series XName and YName properties, then set the data to the DataSource property, and the chart type to Column because we will be viewing the data in a column chart.

Add titles

Using the Title property, you can add a title to the chart and the axes to provide the user with quick information about the data plotted in the chart.

<SfChart Title="Sales Analysis">
    <ChartPrimaryXAxis Title="Month" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ValueType.Category"></ChartPrimaryXAxis>
    <ChartPrimaryYAxis Title="Sales in Dollar"></ChartPrimaryYAxis>
    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="ChartSeriesType.Column">
        </ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>
Blazor Column Chart with Title

Add data label

You can add data labels to improve the readability of the chart. This can be achieved by setting the Visible property to true in the ChartDataLabel.

<SfChart Title="Sales Analysis">
    <ChartPrimaryXAxis Title="Month" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ValueType.Category"></ChartPrimaryXAxis>
    <ChartPrimaryYAxis Title="Sales in Dollar"></ChartPrimaryYAxis>
    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="ChartSeriesType.Column">
            <ChartMarker>
                <ChartDataLabel Visible="true"></ChartDataLabel>
            </ChartMarker>
        </ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>
Blazor Column Chart with DataLabel

Enable tooltip

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

<SfChart Title="Sales Analysis">
    <ChartPrimaryXAxis Title="Month" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ValueType.Category"></ChartPrimaryXAxis>
    <ChartPrimaryYAxis Title="Sales in Dollar"></ChartPrimaryYAxis>
    <ChartTooltipSettings Enable="true"></ChartTooltipSettings>
    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="ChartSeriesType.Column">
        </ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>
Blazor Column Chart with Tooltip

Enable legend

You can use legend for the chart by setting the Visible property to true in ChartLegendSettings. The legend name can be changed by using the Name property in the series.

<SfChart Title="Sales Analysis">
    <ChartPrimaryXAxis Title="Month" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ValueType.Category"></ChartPrimaryXAxis>
    <ChartPrimaryYAxis Title="Sales in Dollar"></ChartPrimaryYAxis>
    <ChartLegendSettings Visible="true"></ChartLegendSettings>
    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@Sales" Name="Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="ChartSeriesType.Column">
        </ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>
