Getting started

1. Add Victory to your project:

$ npm install victory --save

2. Add your first Victory component:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import { VictoryPie } from 'victory';

class PieChart extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <VictoryPie />
    );
  }
}

render(<PieChart />, document.getElementById('app'));

3. VictoryPie component will be rendered, and you should see:

Requirements

Projects using Victory should also depend on React and prop-types.

Victory Native

Want to use Victory with React Native? Check out victory-native Victory Native shares most of its code with Victory, and has a nearly identical api!

Contributing

The victory repo aggregates stable victory components that are developed in other repos. The victory repo is only updated with new releases, but the following repos are under very active development.

Important

This project is in alpha release. We're hard at work fixing bugs and improving the API. Be prepared for breaking changes!

SEMVER Minor version bumps should be considered breaking changes until we hit v1.0.0. Patches can be considered safe.

Caveats git installs using npm 2 may fail in postinstall. If you are consuming Victory via git installs please use npm >=3.0.0

Issues

Jest Snapshots

If you want to use Jest snapshot testing with Victory, you may encounter a problem where the Jest snapshot changes every time, due to a randomly generated clipId being used for a VictoryClipContainer group component. The solution to this is to set a static clipId on your VictoryClipContainer.

For example, when creating a VictoryLine component, you can pass a groupComponent prop:

<VictoryLine
  groupComponent={<VictoryClipContainer clipId={1} />}
/>

Now the clipId attached to your VictoryLine component will always be the same, and your snapshot will not change with each test run.
