Adjusting the date granularity in charts is crucial for effective data analysis. Users often want to switch between yearly, quarterly, or monthly views to identify trends, analyze seasonal performance, or evaluate specific campaigns.
This straightforward widget script lets users toggle between year, quarter, and month views effortlessly, enhancing interactivity and simplifying data exploration.
widget.on('processresult', function ( se, ev ) {
ev.result.chart.spacing = [20, 20, 77, 20 ]
});
widget.on("domready", function(se){
const chart = widget.chart[0][Object.keys(widget.chart[0])[0]].hc;
const chartContainer = prism.activeWidget ? $('.highcharts-container') : $(`widget[widgetid=${widget.oid}] .highcharts-container`);
//Time period dropdown
const timePeriods = {
'Weekly': 'weeks',
'Monthly': 'months',
'Quarterly': 'quarters',
'Yearly': 'years'
};
let ddTimePeriodId = `select-timeperiod-${widget.oid}`;
let dropdownHTMLTimePeriods = `<select name="select" id="${ddTimePeriodId}"></select>`;
if($(`#${ddTimePeriodId}`).length)
{
$(`#${ddTimePeriodId}`).remove();
}
chartContainer.before(dropdownHTMLTimePeriods);
for(let key in timePeriods){
$(`#${ddTimePeriodId}`).append(`<option value="${key}">${key}</option>`);
}
document.getElementById(`${ddTimePeriodId}`).value = Object.keys(timePeriods).find(key => timePeriods[key] == widget.metadata.panels[0].items[0].jaql.level);
var select = document.getElementById(`${ddTimePeriodId}`);
select.addEventListener('change', (e) => {
let selectedItem= e.target.value;
widget.metadata.panels[0].items[0].jaql.level = timePeriods[selectedItem];
widget.refresh();
});
