Angular Google Charts - Configuration Syntax



In this chapter, we will showcase the configuration required to draw a chart using the Google Chart API in Angular.

Step 1 - Create Angular Application

Follow the following steps to update the Angular application we created in Angular Google Charts - Environment Setup chapter −

Step Description
1 Create a project with a name google-charts-app as explained in the Angular Google Charts - Environment Setup chapter.
2 Modify app.ts and app.html as explained below. Keep rest of the files unchanged.
3 Compile and run the application to verify the result of the implemented logic.

Following is the content of the modified HTML host file app.html.

app.html

<google-chart #chart
   [type]="type"
   [data]="data"
   [columns]="columnNames"
   [options]="options"
   [width]="width"
   [height]="height">
</google-chart>

We'll see the updated app.ts in the end after understanding configurations.

Step 2 - Use Configurations

Set Title using Options

options = {   
   title: 'Browser market shares at a specific website, 2014',
   pieHole: 0.4 
};

Set Chart Type

type = ChartType.PieChart;

data

Configure the data to be displayed on the chart.

data = [
   ['Firefox', 45.0],
   ['IE', 26.8],
   ['Chrome', 12.8],
   ['Safari', 8.5],
   ['Opera', 6.2],
   ['Others', 0.7] 
];

column names

Configure the column names to be displayed.

columnNames = ['Browser', 'Percentage'];

options

Configure the other options.

options = {
   colors: ['#e0440e', '#e6693e', '#ec8f6e', '#f3b49f', '#f6c7b6'], is3D: true
};

Example - Usage of a Google Chart

Consider the following example to further understand the Configuration Syntax −

app.ts

import { Component, signal } from '@angular/core';
import { ChartType, GoogleChart } from 'angular-google-charts';

@Component({
   selector: 'app-root',
   imports: [GoogleChart],
   templateUrl: './app.html',
   styleUrl: './app.css'
})
export class App {
   protected readonly title = signal('google-charts-app');
   type: ChartType = ChartType.PieChart;
   data = [
      ['Firefox', 45.0],
      ['IE', 26.8],
      ['Chrome', 12.8],
      ['Safari', 8.5],
      ['Opera', 6.2],
      ['Others', 0.7] 
   ];
   columnNames = ['Browser', 'Percentage'];
   options = {   
      title: 'Browser market shares at a specific website, 2014',
      pieHole: 0.4 
   };
   width = 550;
   height = 400;
}

Result

Verify the result.
