Getting started with Blazor Sparkline Charts component

This section briefly explains how to include a Sparkline in your Blazor server-side application. Refer to this Getting Started with Syncfusion Blazor for Server-Side in Visual Studio 2019 documentation for introduction and configuring common specifications.

Importing Syncfusion Blazor component in an application

  1. Install Syncfusion.Blazor NuGet package to the application by using the NuGet Package Manager. Please ensure to check the Include prerelease option.
  2. You can add the client-side style resources through CDN or from NuGet package in the HEAD element of the ~/Pages/_Host.cshtml page.
<head>
    <link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor/styles/bootstrap4.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>

Note: The same theme file can be referred through the CDN version by using https://cdn.syncfusion.com/blazor/18.1.36-beta/styles/bootstrap4.css

For Internet Explorer 11 kindly refer the polyfills. Refer the documentation for more information.

<head>
    <link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor/styles/bootstrap4.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="https://github.com/Daddoon/Blazor.Polyfill/releases/download/3.0.1/blazor.polyfill.min.js"></script>
</head>

Adding component package to the application

Open **~/_Imports.razor file and import the Syncfusion.Blazor.**

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

Add SyncfusionBlazor service in Startup.cs

Open the Startup.cs file and add services required by Syncfusion components using service.AddSyncfusionBlazor() method. Add this method in the ConfigureServices function as follows.

using Syncfusion.Blazor;
namespace BlazorApplication
{
    public class Startup
    {
        ....
        ....
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            ....
            ....
            services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
        }
    }
}

Note: To enable custom client side resource loading from CRG or CDN. You need to disable resource loading by AddSyncfusionBlazor(true) and load the scripts in the HEAD element of the ~/Pages/_Host.cshtml page.

<head>
    <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/blazor/18.1.36-beta/dist/syncfusion-blazor.min.js"></script>
</head>

Adding Sparkline component to an application

Now, add the Syncfusion Blazor Sparkline component in any webpage razor in the Pages folder. For example, the sparkline component is added in the ~/Pages/Index.razor page.

You can use the DataSource property to load climate data into Sparkline. Also using the XName and YName properties, you can map the values of the x-axis and y-axis in sparkline from the data source. Since the Month is a value based on categories, specify it using the ValueType property.

<SfSparkline XName="Month"
              YName="Celsius"
              ValueType="SparklineValueType.Category"
              TValue="WeatherReport"
              DataSource="ClimateData"
              Height="80px"
              Width="150px">
</SfSparkline>

@code {
    public class WeatherReport
    {
        public string Month;
        public double Celsius;
    };
    private List<WeatherReport> ClimateData = new List<WeatherReport> {
        new  WeatherReport { Month= "Jan", Celsius= 34 },
        new  WeatherReport { Month= "Feb", Celsius= 36 },
        new  WeatherReport { Month= "Mar", Celsius= 32 },
        new  WeatherReport { Month= "Apr", Celsius= 35 },
        new  WeatherReport { Month= "May", Celsius= 40 },
        new  WeatherReport { Month= "Jun", Celsius= 38 },
        new  WeatherReport { Month= "Jul", Celsius= 33 },
        new  WeatherReport { Month= "Aug", Celsius= 37 },
        new  WeatherReport { Month= "Sep", Celsius= 34 },
        new  WeatherReport { Month= "Oct", Celsius= 31 },
        new  WeatherReport { Month= "Nov", Celsius= 30 },
        new  WeatherReport { Month= "Dec", Celsius= 29}
    };
}

Run the application

After the successful compilation of your application, press F5 to run the application. The Blazor Sparkline component will be rendered in the web browser as illustrated in the following screenshot.

Sparkline Sample

Change the type of sparkline

You can change the sparkline type by setting the Type property to Line, Column, WinLoss, Pie or Area. Here, the sparkline type is set to Area.

<SfSparkline XName="Month"
              YName="Celsius"
              ValueType="SparklineValueType.Category"
              Type="SparklineType.Area"
              TValue="WeatherReport"
              DataSource="ClimateData"
              Height="80px"
              Width="150px">
</SfSparkline>

Refer code block to know the property value of ClimateData.

Sparkline Sample

Add data label

You can add data labels to improve the readability of the sparkline chart. This can be achieved by setting the Visible property in the SparklineDataLabelSettings. Available types are:

  • Start
  • End
  • All
  • High
  • Low
  • Negative
<SfSparkline DataSource="ClimateData"
              TValue="WeatherReport"
              XName="Month"
              YName="Celsius"
              ValueType="SparklineValueType.Category"
              Height="80px"
              Width="150px">
    <SparklineDataLabelSettings Visible="new List<VisibleType> { VisibleType.Start, VisibleType.End }"></SparklineDataLabelSettings>
    <SparklinePadding Left="10" Right="10"></SparklinePadding>
</SfSparkline>

Refer code block to know the property value of ClimateData.

Sparkline with data label

Enable tooltip

The tooltip is useful when you cannot display information by using the data labels due to space constraints. You can enable tooltip by setting the Visible property value to true in SparklineTooltipSettings.

<SfSparkline DataSource="ClimateData"
              TValue="WeatherReport"
              XName="Month"
              YName="Celsius"
              ValueType="SparklineValueType.Category"
              Height="80px"
              Width="150px">
    <SparklineDataLabelSettings Visible="new List<VisibleType> { VisibleType.Start, VisibleType.End }"></SparklineDataLabelSettings>
    <SparklinePadding Left="10" Right="10"></SparklinePadding>
    <SparklineTooltipSettings Visible="true"></SparklineTooltipSettings>
</SfSparkline>

Refer code block to know the property value of ClimateData.
