Strip Chart <smart-strip-chart>

StripChart is a real-time chart for continuously acquired samples: the newest sample is drawn at the right and the oldest leaves at the left.

Getting Started with React StripChart Component

The Smart.Industrial React components need React 18 or later, because they render through react-dom/client. The steps use Vite with its react-ts template.

The complete demo in React is on the demo page, file by file.

1 Create a Vite + React + TypeScript app

  1. npm create vite@latest my-smart-app -- --template react-ts
  2. cd my-smart-app
    then
    npm install

2 Install Smart.Industrial

npm install smart-industrial

3 Import styles and render the component

The sample replaces the content of src/App.tsx. It imports the stylesheets and the StripChart component, sets the Industrial theme and handles the penVisibilityChange event. It compiles under the template's strict TypeScript settings.

import 'smart-industrial/source/styles/smart.default.css';
import 'smart-industrial/source/styles/smart.industrial-elements.css';
import 'smart-industrial/source/styles/smart.industrial.css';
import { StripChart } from 'smart-industrial/react/stripchart';

function App() {
  // Raised when a pen is shown or hidden, whether from the legend or from
  // togglePen.
  const handlePenVisibilityChange = (event: CustomEvent) => {
    const { index, field, visible } = event.detail;
    console.log('penVisibilityChange', index, field, visible);
  };

  return (
    <StripChart
      theme="industrial"
      onPenVisibilityChange={handlePenVisibilityChange}
    />
  );
}

export default App;

The template's src/main.tsx renders App and needs no change.

Each component has an entry point of its own, and the sample imports from it. The entry point with all the components, smart-industrial/react, puts every component into the bundle, about 2.5 MB minified. Built with Vite, the Faceplate sample has 390 kB of JavaScript, React included, with smart-industrial/react/faceplate.

4 Run the dev server

npm run dev

Vite prints the URL of the application, usually http://localhost:5173/.

TypeScript Support

The types ship with smart-industrial. A type-only import of the component and its props uses import type, which the template's verbatimModuleSyntax requires:

import type { StripChart, StripChartProps } from 'smart-industrial/react/stripchart';

Each on* callback receives a CustomEvent whose detail is typed for that event, so the editor lists its fields. A handler typed (event: CustomEvent) => void, as in the sample, accepts it as well.

Accessibility

The keyboard interaction, roles and announcements of the component are on its accessibility page; they are the same in React.
