A Javascript / VueJS / date-fns library to visualize activity in a graph. It takes inspiration from GitHubs commit activity graph.
Note: For now it is only compatible with newer browsers, as we haven't set up transpilation yet. It uses ES6 language features.
See examples of views below.
To set up it needs a the window.heatmap object set up to transfer basic configuration to the app. Set that in the HTML of the page you are using the widget:
<script>
// Hand over configuration from JSP to Javascript
window.heatmap = {};
// This is not used in the application, but is used to transfer the URL to other variables below.
window.heatmap.url = "https://the-web-page-to-show-data-for.com";
// Title for the graph.
window.heatmap.title = "Data for " + window.heatmap.url;
// The endpoint which will be called with a GET-request.
// Should return a JSON Object with an array of unix timestamps called "dates".
window.heatmap.dataUrl = "https://get-data-for.com/dates?url=" + window.heatmap.url;
// A function which will be called when generating links back to a particular data object.
// d is a Javascript Date object.
window.heatmap.generateLink = function(d) {
if (!d) // If there is no data
return;
return "https://the-link-to-the-particular-date.com";
};
</script>
Run npm run example or yarn example and open localhost:8000/example.html in a browser. This requires python3 installed on your machine.
