A Kirby v3 plugin for creating SVG charts - batteries included.

What

kirby3-charts is a Kirby v3 wrapper for SVGGraph, as such there are (almost) no limits to what kind of chart may be created.

How

Install this package with Composer:

composer require fundevogel/kirby3-charts

Usage

In order to generate a chart, we need some data first. The page method toChart() accepts an array of data points as first argument - basically two or more arrays, each of which consists of color (string) and share (float):

$data = [
    ['title' => 'HTML', 'color' => '#4F5D95', 'share' => 0.6],
    ['title' => 'CSS', 'color' => '#2b7489', 'share' => 0.4],
];

$page->toChart($data);

There's also a field method toChart() suitable for structure fields. The included example blueprint fields/chart is a good starting point & looks basically like this:

type: structure
fields:
  title:
    label: Title
    type: text

  share:
    label: share
    type: number
    step: .01

  color:
    label: Color
    type: text

Both methods take another two arrays for further customization:

# SVG settings
$settings = [
    'width' => 100,
    'height' => 100,
    'type' => 'DonutGraph',
    'inline' => false,
];

# Options depend on the type of chart (in this example 'DonutGraph'),
# see https://www.goat1000.com/svggraph.php
$options = [
    'inner_radius' => 2,
    'stroke_width' => 0.5,
    'show_labels' => true,

    # .. etc
];

# Page method
$page->toChart($data, $settings, $options);

# Field method
$page->chartData()->toChart($settings, $options);

Note: Both methods return a file object of the newly created SVG chart (unless inline is activated) for further use.

Configuration

You may also change certain fallback options from your config.php globally ('fundevogel.charts.optionName'):

Example

# Create SVG chart as page file
$chart = $page->toChart($data, ['type' => 'DonutGraph'], [
    'donut_slice_gap' => 1.5,
    'inner_radius' => 0.7,
    'start_angle'  => -90,
    'stroke_width' => 0,
]);

Adding more items to the example $data from before and using above code, the generated chart looks like this:
