Getting Started with Blazor Stock Chart in Blazor Web App

16 Feb 202412 minutes to read

This section briefly explains about how to include Blazor Stock Chart component in your Blazor Web App using Visual Studio.

Prerequisites

System requirements for Blazor components

Create a new Blazor Web App

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

You need to configure the corresponding Interactive render mode and Interactivity location while creating a Blazor Web Application.

Install Syncfusion Blazor StockChart and Themes NuGet in the App

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

If you utilize WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web App need to be install Syncfusion Blazor components NuGet packages within the client project.

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

Package Manager
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.StockChart -Version 27.2.2
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -Version 27.2.2

NOTE

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

Register Syncfusion Blazor Service

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

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

Now, register the Syncfusion Blazor Service in the ~/Program.cs file of your Blazor Web App.

If you select an Interactive render mode as WebAssembly or Auto, you need to register the Syncfusion Blazor service in both ~/Program.cs files of your Blazor Web App.

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

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 Stock Chart component

Add the Syncfusion Blazor Stock Chart component in the ~Pages/.razor file. If an interactivity location as Per page/component in the web app, define a render mode at the top of the ~Pages/.razor component, as follows:

RAZOR

@* desired render mode define here *@
@rendermode InteractiveAuto

RAZOR

<SfStockChart>

</SfStockChart>

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.

RAZOR

@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.

RAZOR
<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 your default web browser.

NOTE

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.

RAZOR
<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.

RAZOR
<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.

    <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}
   };
