Peity

Peity (sounds like deity) is a simple jQuery plugin that converts an element's content into a simple <canvas> mini pie 3/5 line 5,3,9,6,5,9,7,3,5,2 or bar chart 5,3,9,6,5,9,7,3,5,2 and is compatible with any browser that supports <canvas>: Chrome, Firefox, IE9+, Opera, Safari.

Pie Charts

Simply call peity("pie") on a jQuery selection. You can also pass colours, delimiter and diameter options. There are two subtly different semantics when drawing pie charts, by using a "/" delimiter it is assumed to mean "three out of five" and only the first two values will be drawn, otherwise all of the values are included in the chart.

1/5 226/360 0.52/1.561 1,4 226,134 0.52,1.041 1,2,3,2,2

HTML

<span class="pie">1/5</span>
<span class="pie">226/360</span>
<span class="pie">0.52/1.561</span>
<span class="pie">1,4</span>
<span class="pie">226,134</span>
<span class="pie">0.52,1.041</span>
<span class="pie">1,2,3,2,2</span>

JavaScript

$("span.pie").peity("pie")

Line Charts

Line charts work on a comma-separated list of digits. Line charts can take the following options: colour, strokeColour, strokeWidth, delimiter, max, min, width and height.

5,3,9,6,5,9,7,3,5,2 5,3,2,-1,-3,-2,2,3,5,2 0,-3,-6,-4,-5,-4,-7,-3,-5,-2

HTML

<span class="line">5,3,9,6,5,9,7,3,5,2</span>
<span class="line">5,3,2,-1,-3,-2,2,3,5,2</span>
<span class="line">0,-3,-6,-4,-5,-4,-7,-3,-5,-2</span>

JavaScript

$(".line").peity("line")

Bar Charts

Bar charts work in the same way as line charts and take the following options: colours, delimiter, max, min, spacing, width and height.

5,3,9,6,5,9,7,3,5,2 5,3,2,-1,-3,-2,2,3,5,2 0,-3,-6,-4,-5,-4,-7,-3,-5,-2

HTML

<span class="bar">5,3,9,6,5,9,7,3,5,2</span>
<span class="bar">5,3,2,-1,-3,-2,2,3,5,2</span>
<span class="bar">0,-3,-6,-4,-5,-4,-7,-3,-5,-2</span>

JavaScript

$(".bar").peity("bar")

Setting Colours Dynamically

Bar and pie chart colours can be defined dynamically based on the values of the chart. When passing an array its values are cycled, when passing a function it is called once for each value allowing you to define each bar's colour. The function is called with a similar signature to Array#forEach with the bar's value, its index, and the full array of values.

5,3,9,6,5,9,7,3,5,2 5,3,2,-1,-3,-2,2,3,5,2 0,-3,-6,-4,-5,-4,-7,-3,-5,-2 4,7,6,5 5,3,9,6,5

HTML

<span class="bar-colours-1">5,3,9,6,5,9,7,3,5,2</span>
<span class="bar-colours-2">5,3,2,-1,-3,-2,2,3,5,2</span>
<span class="bar-colours-3">0,-3,-6,-4,-5,-4,-7,-3,-5,-2</span>
<span class="pie-colours-1">4,7,6,5</span>
<span class="pie-colours-2">5,3,9,6,5</span>

JavaScript

$(".bar-colours-1").peity("bar", {
  colours: ["red", "green", "blue"]
})

$(".bar-colours-2").peity("bar", {
  colours: function(value) {
    return value > 0 ? "green" : "red"
  }
})

$(".bar-colours-3").peity("bar", {
  colours: function(_, i, all) {
    var g = parseInt((i / all.length) * 255)
    return "rgb(255, " + g + ", 0)"
  }
})

$(".pie-colours-1").peity("pie", {
  colours: ["cyan", "magenta", "yellow", "black"]
})

$(".pie-colours-2").peity("pie", {
  colours: function(_, i, all) {
    var g = parseInt((i / all.length) * 255)
    return "rgb(255, " + g + ", 0)"
  }
})

Updating Charts

Charts can be updated by changing the the jQuery selection's text content and calling change() on it. The chart will be redrawn with the same options that were originally passed to it.

5,3,9,6,5,9,7,3,5,2,5,3,9,6,5,9,7,3,5,2

HTML

<span class="updating-chart">5,3,9,6,5,9,7,3,5,2,5,3,9,6,5,9,7,3,5,2</span>

JavaScript

var updatingChart = $(".updating-chart").peity("line", { width: 64 })

setInterval(function() {
  var random = Math.round(Math.random() * 10)
  var values = updatingChart.text().split(",")
  values.shift()
  values.push(random)

  updatingChart
    .text(values.join(","))
    .change()
}, 1000)

Custom Charts

You can easily add your own custom chart by registering it with Peity with name, defaults and the draw function which receives an options object.

$.fn.peity.add("custom", {
    colour: "#FFCC00"
  }, function(opts) {
    ...
  }
)

data-* attributes

If you use data attributes, Peity will apply their values to the defaults with the same names automatically. Options passed to the peity() function take precedence over data-* attributes.

1/7 2/7 3/7 4/7 5/7 6/7 7/7

HTML

<span data-colours='["red", "#eeeeee"]'    data-diameter="40">1/7</span>
<span data-colours='["orange", "#eeeeee"]' data-diameter="36">2/7</span>
<span data-colours='["yellow", "#eeeeee"]' data-diameter="32">3/7</span>
<span data-colours='["green", "#eeeeee"]'  data-diameter="28">4/7</span>
<span data-colours='["blue", "#eeeeee"]'   data-diameter="24">5/7</span>
<span data-colours='["indigo", "#eeeeee"]' data-diameter="20">6/7</span>
<span data-colours='["violet", "#eeeeee"]' data-diameter="16">7/7</span>

JavaScript

$(".pie span").peity("pie")

Events

Peity adds a "change" event trigger to your graph elements, so if you update their data your can regenerate one or more charts by triggering change() on them.

<p id="notice">Nothing's happened yet.</p>

JavaScript

$("select").change(function() {
  $(this)
    .siblings("span.graph")
    .text($(this).val() + "/" + 5).change()
}).change()

var chartUpdate = function(event, value, max) {
  $("#notice").text(
    "Chart updated: " + value + "/" + max
  )
}

$("span.graph")
  .peity("pie")
  .bind("change.peity", chartUpdate)

Defaults

Defaults can be overridden globally like so:

$.fn.peity.defaults.pie = {
  colours: ["#ff9900", "#fff4dd", "#ffd592"],
  delimiter: null,
  diameter: 16
}

$.fn.peity.defaults.line = {
  colour: "#c6d9fd",
  strokeColour: "#4d89f9",
  strokeWidth: 1,
  delimiter: ",",
  height: 16,
  max: null,
  min: 0,
  width: 32
}

$.fn.peity.defaults.bar = {
  colours: ["#4d89f9"],
  delimiter: ",",
  height: 16,
  max: null,
  min: 0,
  spacing: devicePixelRatio || 1,
  width: 32
}
