- [API](https://momentum-design.github.io/charts/docs/api/)
- [Tutorials](https://momentum-design.github.io/charts/docs/tutorials/getting-started)
- [Changelog](https://momentum-design.github.io/charts/blog)

All examples in website are using the JSX and online code editor to render charts in real time.

## Installation

### umd

The UMD build is also available on unpkg.com:

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/@momentum-design/charts/dist/charts.css" />
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@momentum-design/charts/dist/charts.umd.js"></script>
```

Then you can find the library on `window.md`.

### npm

NPM is the easiest and fastest way to get started using this library. It is also the recommended installation method when building single-page applications (SPAs). It pairs nicely with a CommonJS module bundler such as Webpack.

```bash
# latest stable
$ npm i @momentum-design/charts
```

### Use with Angular

1. Import library and enable web component support in **src/app/app.module.ts**.

   ```diff
   import { CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA, NgModule } from '@angular/core';
   import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
   +import '@momentum-design/charts';

   import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

   @NgModule({
     declarations: [
       AppComponent,
     ],
     imports: [
       BrowserModule
     ],
     providers: [],
     bootstrap: [AppComponent],
   +  schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]
   })
   export class AppModule { }
   ```

1. Use the components in your HTML template.

   ```html
   <md-chart
     type="pie"
     data='{
            "Alabama": 13,
            "Colorado": 17,
            "Arizona": 8,
            "Vermont": 10,
            "South Carolina": 40
          }'
   ></md-chart>
   ```

## Contributing

### Prerequisites

- Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) which includes [Node Package Manager](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started). We recommend to use version 16 and above.

### Steps to Start

1. Clone this repo.

1. Install all dependencies via run command `npm run init`.

1. Now, run `npm start` to start your work.

   - The component code should be placed to **src/components**. The new component should be structured as below:

     ```
     new-component
       ├─ index.ts                 // should export all public members
       ├─ new-component.ts         // the component code
       ├─ new-component.spec.ts    // unit tests
       ├─ new-component.types.ts   // all types definitions
       └─ new-component.plugins.ts // plugins of chart.js if need
     ```

   - The style file should be placed with component code and imported in **src/styles/main.scss**.

   - Also export the new component in **src/components/index.ts** file.

   - The internal folder dependency should be as below. That means we should not import anything from **core** folder into **types** folder or **components** into **core** folder.

     ```
     components ─⫸ core ─⫸ types
     ```

1. Commit your changes and push them to your forked repo, and submit a Pull Request to **main** branch.

### Commit Message Guidelines

All commit message MUST follow [Angular Commit Message Format](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#commit).

Format as:

```
<type>(<scope>): <short summary>
  │       │             │
  │       │             └─⫸ Summary in present tense. Not capitalized. No period at the end.
  │       │
  │       └─⫸ Commit Scope: <component-name>
  │
  └─⫸ Commit Type: build|ci|docs|feat|fix|perf|refactor|test
```

The `<type>` and `<summary>` fields are mandatory, the `(<scope>)` field is optional.

### Useful Commands

- `npm run data` will print the random data which is predefined in **./tools/data.ts** and can be used to test your component. For example, `npm run data -- --pie --default --5`, `npm run data -- --number --10` to get 10 random numbers.
