B4J Library [BANano] ChartJS charts with 1 line of code using UOECharts

Ola

This lib is a wrap of this github

The chart framework that has been adopted has been Chart.JS and one can easily create a chart with 1 line of code, as simple as..

B4X:
'load the layout to the page
BANano.LoadLayout("#body","vCharts")
  
'line chart
UOEChart1.AddXYMap(CreateMap("2017-01-01": 11, "2017-01-02": 6)).Refresh

The UOEChartKick.zip file is the library source code, open the project file with B4J, run it and then compile as library.
The UOEChartKickDemo is the demo as explained in this thread.

This is my first abstract designer based library for BANano, so to use the charts, one needs to use the abstract designer.

1. Open Internal Designer
2. Click on Add View > Custom View > UOEChart
3. Update the properties of the chart
4. Generate members
5. Add the map data and Refresh the chart.

In this example I have created different charts and these are displayed one after another as I am not using a grid in this example and have not set the top/bottom variables.

B4X:
'line
    UOEChart1.AddXYMap(CreateMap("2017-01-01": 11, "2017-01-02": 6)).Refresh


Bar Chart

B4X:
'bar chart
    UOEChart2.AddXYMap(CreateMap("Work": 32, "Play": 1492)).Refresh

Thank you Mashiane, this looks very interesting. I downloaded the library (and installed it) and I tried to run the demo, but I don't see the required uoechartkick.js in any of the folders I downloaded. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

I get the following error:

Missing uoechartkick.js (?):

[Solved: Missing Files] For some reason the missing uoechartkick.js and uoechartkick.dependsOn files were placed outside of my B4J Additional Libraries folder after compiling (while the main library compilation was properly inside the B4J Additional Libraries folder).
