Purescript bindings for Baidu's Echarts library

purescript-echarts

Purescript bindings for Baidu's Enterprise Charts (Echarts) charting library.

API

This approach drastically differs with v2.0.0.

All basic echarts function are implemented as effectful functions. They are wrapped in MonadEff typeclass and could be used not only in Eff monad but in Aff and effectful transformers.

Option object is constructed using Writer monad augmented with phantom rows. I.e. there is no any special type for Option, Legend or Tooltip, but they are DSL PhantomRowsI where PhantomRowsI is phantom row type.

To write a field to objects one should use function from ECharts.Commands module. Row label of this function indicates if this function could be used for building particular objects. For example, if you build something like Pie series object you can use function name because it has type forall i. String -> DSL (name :: I|i) and PieI has this name label in its phantom part, but you can't use symbol because its type is forall i. Symbol -> DSL (symbol :: I|i) and PieI hasn't symbol label.

Examples

To run examples

npm run build
npm run serve

Then go to localhost:5050

Notes

• To use this lib in your project you need to add echarts npm dependency to your project.
• This branch isn't fully implemented yet, although it has all features that we currently use in slamdata.
• Writer's log is Array (Tuple String Foreign). There are three different functions that builds sub-dsls: buildObj takes pairs from log and write Foreigns as values to empty object; buildArr ignores first part of tuple and just write Foreigns to empty array, buildSeries takes first part of tuple and write it as "type" field to the second part (Tuple "foo" $ toForeign {a: 12} -> toForeign {"type": "foo", a: 12}) and then put it to empty array.
• There are row names that differs with field names from echarts docs. For example, echarts uses data field and purescript-echarts uses items. Other thing is that some field names collide and to fix it there are new row names: normalItemStyle, normalLabel.
• In this approach one could add new type for some field value (like PercentOrPixel) OR add command (like leftCenter) OR add new DSL for building foreign data (like addItem).
