Installation

$ npm install angular-plotly.js plotly.js

Using the angular CLI to start a new project

$ ng new my-project
$ cd my-project
$ npm install angular-plotly.js plotly.js --save

Quick start

Add the PlotlyModule into the main app module of your project

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';

import { PlotlyModule } from 'angular-plotly.js';

@NgModule({
    imports: [CommonModule, PlotlyModule],
    ...
})
export class AppModule { }

Then use the <plotly-plot> component to display the graph

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'plotly-example',
    template: '<plotly-plot [data]="graph.data" [layout]="graph.layout"></plotly-plot>',
})
export class PlotlyExampleComponent {
    public graph = {
        data: [
            { x: [1, 2, 3], y: [2, 6, 3], type: 'scatter', mode: 'lines+points', marker: {color: 'red'} },
            { x: [1, 2, 3], y: [2, 5, 3], type: 'bar' },
        ],
        layout: {width: 320, height: 240, title: 'A Fancy Plot'}
    };
}

You should see a plot like this:

API Reference

Basic Props

Warning: for the time being, this component may mutate its layout and data props in response to user input, going against React rules. This behaviour will change in the near future once plotly/plotly.js#2389 is completed.

Prop	Type	Default	Description
[data]	Array	[]	list of trace objects (see https://plot.ly/javascript/reference/)
[layout]	Object	undefined	layout object (see https://plot.ly/javascript/reference/#layout)
[frames]	Array	undefined	list of frame objects (see https://plot.ly/javascript/reference/)
[config]	Object	undefined	config object (see https://plot.ly/javascript/configuration-options/)
[revision]	Number	undefined	When provided, causes the plot to update only when the revision is incremented.
(initialized)	Function(figure, graphDiv)	undefined	Callback executed after plot is initialized. See below for parameter information.
(update)	Function(figure, graphDiv)	undefined	Callback executed when when a plot is updated due to new data or layout, or when user interacts with a plot. See below for parameter information.
(purge)	Function(figure, graphDiv)	undefined	Callback executed when component unmounts, before Plotly.purge strips the graphDiv of all private attributes. See below for parameter information.
(error)	Function(err)	undefined	Callback executed when a plotly.js API method rejects
[divId]	string	undefined	id assigned to the <div> into which the plot is rendered.
[className]	string	undefined	applied to the <div> into which the plot is rendered
[style]	Object	{position: 'relative', display: 'inline-block'}	used to style the <div> into which the plot is rendered
[debug]	Boolean	false	Assign the graph div to window.gd for debugging
[useResizeHandler]	Boolean	false	When true, adds a call to Plotly.Plot.resize() as a window.resize event handler

Note: To make a plot responsive, i.e. to fill its containing element and resize when the window is resized, use style or className to set the dimensions of the element (i.e. using width: 100%; height: 100% or some similar values) and set useResizeHandler to true while setting layout.autosize to true and leaving layout.height and layout.width undefined. This will implement the behaviour documented here: https://plot.ly/javascript/responsive-fluid-layout/
