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

Register Syncfusion® Blazor Service

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

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Web;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Hosting;
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
builder.RootComponents.Add<App>("#app");
builder.RootComponents.Add<HeadOutlet>("head::after");

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 and script references within the <head> section of the ~/index.html file.

<head>
    ....

Populate Blazor Stock Chart with Data

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

@code{
    public class StockChartData
    {
        public DateTime Date { get; set; }
        public Double Open { get; set; }
        public Double Low { get; set; }
        public Double Close { get; set; }
        public Double High { get; set; }
        public Double Volume { get; set; }
    }

    public List<StockChartData> StockDetails = new List<StockChartData>
    {
        new StockChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 02), Open = 85.9757, High = 90.6657, Low = 85.7685, Close = 90.5257, Volume = 660187068},
        new StockChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 09), Open = 89.4471, High = 92, Low = 86.2157, Close = 86.4614, Volume = 912634864},
        new StockChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 16), Open = 87.1514, High = 88.6071, Low = 81.4885, Close = 81.8543, Volume = 1221746066},
        new StockChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 23), Open = 81.5157, High = 88.2857, Low = 79.2857, Close = 86.1428, Volume = 965935749},
        new StockChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 30), Open = 85.4, High =  85.4857, Low = 80.7385, Close = 80.75, Volume = 615249365},
        new StockChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 07), Open = 80.2143, High = 82.2685, Low = 79.8185, Close = 80.9585, Volume = 541742692},
        new StockChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 14), Open = 80.3671, High = 81.0728, Low = 74.5971, Close = 75.7685, Volume = 708126233},
        new StockChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 21), Open = 76.3571, High = 82.3571, Low = 76.2928, Close = 80.3271, Volume = 682076215},
        new StockChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 28), Open = 81.5571, High = 83.0714, Low = 80.0743, Close = 80.1414, Volume = 480059584},
    };
}

Now set the StockDetails to DataSource property. By default, Stock Chart will be rendered based on the provided Date and High fields value from datasource without any mapping.

<SfStockChart>
    <StockChartSeriesCollection>
        <StockChartSeries DataSource="@StockDetails" Type="ChartSeriesType.Candle" XName="Date" YName="Close" High="High" Low="Low" Open="Open" Close="Close" Volume="Volume"></StockChartSeries>
    </StockChartSeriesCollection>
</SfStockChart>

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

Adding Title

A title using Title property can be added in the Stock Chart, to provide quick information to the user about the data plotted in the component.

<SfStockChart Title="AAPL Historical">
    <StockChartSeriesCollection>
        <StockChartSeries DataSource="@StockDetails" Type="ChartSeriesType.Candle" XName="Date" YName="Close" High="High" Low="Low" Open="Open" Close="Close" Volume="Volume"></StockChartSeries>
    </StockChartSeriesCollection>
</SfStockChart>

@code {
    public class ChartData
    {
        public DateTime Date { get; set; }
        public Double Open { get; set; }
        public Double Low { get; set; }
        public Double Close { get; set; }
        public Double High { get; set; }
        public Double Volume { get; set; }
    }

    public List<ChartData> StockDetails = new List<ChartData>
    {
        new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 02), Open= 85.9757, High = 90.6657,Low = 85.7685, Close = 90.5257,Volume = 660187068},
        new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 09), Open= 89.4471, High = 92,Low = 86.2157, Close = 86.4614,Volume = 912634864},
        new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 16), Open= 87.1514, High = 88.6071,Low = 81.4885, Close = 81.8543,Volume = 1221746066},
        new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 23), Open= 81.5157, High = 88.2857,Low = 79.2857, Close = 86.1428,Volume = 965935749},
        new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 30), Open= 85.4, High =  85.4857,Low = 80.7385, Close = 80.75,Volume = 615249365},
        new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 07), Open= 80.2143, High = 82.2685,Low = 79.8185, Close = 80.9585,Volume = 541742692},
        new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 14), Open= 80.3671, High = 81.0728,Low = 74.5971, Close = 75.7685,Volume = 708126233},
        new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 21), Open= 76.3571, High = 82.3571,Low = 76.2928, Close = 80.3271,Volume = 682076215},
        new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 28), Open= 81.5571, High = 83.0714,Low = 80.0743, Close = 80.1414,Volume = 480059584}
   };
}

Adding Crosshair

The crosshair is a vertical and horizontal line on the view that shows the value of an axis when the mouse or touch is in a certain position. The crosshair lines can be enabled by using Enable property in the StockChartCrosshairSettings. Likewise tooltip label for an axis can be enabled by using Enable property in the StockChartTooltipSettings.

<SfStockChart>
    <StockChartCrosshairSettings Enable="true"></StockChartCrosshairSettings>
    <StockChartSeriesCollection>
        <StockChartSeries DataSource="@StockDetails" Type="ChartSeriesType.Column" XName="Date" YName="Y"></StockChartSeries>
    </StockChartSeriesCollection>
</SfStockChart>

@code {
    public class ChartData
    {
        public DateTime Date { get; set; }
        public Double Y { get; set; }
    }

    public List<ChartData> StockDetails = new List<ChartData>
    {
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 02), Y= 100},
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 09), Y= 10 },
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 16), Y= 500},
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 23), Y= 80 },
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 30), Y= 200},
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 07), Y= 600},
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 14), Y= 50 },
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 21), Y= 700},
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 28), Y= 90 }
   };
}

Adding Trackball

The trackball is used to track a closest data point to the mouse or touch position. The trackball marker indicates the closest point and trackball tooltip displays the information about the point. It can be enabled by setting the Enable property in the StockChartCrosshairSettings to true and Shared property in the StockChartTooltipSettings to true in component.

<SfStockChart>
    <StockChartCrosshairSettings Enable="true" LineType="LineType.Vertical"></StockChartCrosshairSettings>
    <StockChartTooltipSettings Enable="true" Shared="true" Format="${point.x} : ${point.y}" Header="AAPL"></StockChartTooltipSettings>
    <StockChartSeriesCollection>
        <StockChartSeries DataSource="@StockDetails" Type="ChartSeriesType.Line" XName="Date" YName="Y"></StockChartSeries>
        <StockChartSeries DataSource="@StockDetails" Type="ChartSeriesType.Line" XName="Date" YName="Y1"></StockChartSeries>
    </StockChartSeriesCollection>
</SfStockChart>

@code {
    public class ChartData
    {
        public DateTime Date { get; set; }
        public Double Y { get; set; }
        public Double Y1 { get; set; }
    }

    public List<ChartData> StockDetails = new List<ChartData>
    {
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 02), Y= 100, Y1= 50},
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 09), Y= 10 , Y1= 5},
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 16), Y= 500, Y1= 250},
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 23), Y= 80 , Y1= 60},
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 04, 30), Y= 200, Y1= 100},
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 07), Y= 600, Y1= 300},
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 14), Y= 50 , Y1= 25},
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 21), Y= 700, Y1= 350},
         new ChartData { Date = new DateTime(2012, 05, 28), Y= 90 , Y1= 45}
   };
}
