amCharts 4:外部数据源

Question

我很难用外部数据源在amCharts 4中生成一个简单的XY水平条形图。

所有的东西都能很好地处理静态数据(在这里，我调整了amCharts文档中的一个图表演示)。

但是当我用外部dataSource URL替换静态数据时，图表将不会生成。

我怀疑问题可能是Airtable输出是与静态数据不同的结构。

然而，我可能会完全错误的怀疑，所以我真的希望任何帮助的解决办法请。

(很明显，XXX在下面的代码中列出了Airtable信息。)

静态数据源

// Create chart instance
var chart = am4core.create("CHARTDIV", am4charts.XYChart);

// Add data
chart.data = [{
  "Name": "Brand Guidelines",
  "Aggregate Responses": 7
}, {
  "Name": "SAP",
  "Aggregate Responses": 3
}, {
  "Name": "Email",
  "Aggregate Responses": 5
}, {
  "Name": "Social Media",
  "Aggregate Responses": 3
}, {
  "Name": "Google Drive",
  "Aggregate Responses": 3
}, {
  "Name": "OneDrive",
  "Aggregate Responses": 4
}, {
  "Name": "SharePoint",
  "Aggregate Responses": 1
}, {
  "Name": "Slack",
  "Aggregate Responses": 3
}, {
  "Name": "Drupal",
  "Aggregate Responses": 2
}, {
  "Name": "Telephone",
  "Aggregate Responses": 3
}];

// Create axes

var categoryAxis = chart.yAxes.push(new am4charts.CategoryAxis());
categoryAxis.dataFields.category = "Name";
categoryAxis.renderer.grid.template.location = 0;
categoryAxis.renderer.minGridDistance = 30;

var valueAxis = chart.xAxes.push(new am4charts.ValueAxis());

// Create series
var series = chart.series.push(new am4charts.ColumnSeries());
series.dataFields.valueX = "Aggregate Responses";
series.dataFields.categoryY = "Name";
series.name = "Aggregate Responses";
series.columns.template.tooltipText = "{categoryY}: [bold]{valueX}[/]";
series.columns.template.fillOpacity = .8;

var columnTemplate = series.columns.template;
columnTemplate.strokeWidth = 2;
columnTemplate.strokeOpacity = 1;

外部数据源

// Create chart instance
var chart = am4core.create("CHARTDIV", am4charts.XYChart);

// External data source
chart.dataSource.url = "https://api.airtable.com/v0/appXXXXXXX/airtable-table-name?api_key=keyXXXXXXX";

// Create axes

var categoryAxis = chart.yAxes.push(new am4charts.CategoryAxis());
categoryAxis.dataFields.category = "Name";
categoryAxis.renderer.grid.template.location = 0;
categoryAxis.renderer.minGridDistance = 30;

var valueAxis = chart.xAxes.push(new am4charts.ValueAxis());

// Create series
var series = chart.series.push(new am4charts.ColumnSeries());
series.dataFields.valueX = "Aggregate Responses";
series.dataFields.categoryY = "Name";
series.name = "Aggregate Responses";
series.columns.template.tooltipText = "{categoryY}: [bold]{valueX}[/]";
series.columns.template.fillOpacity = .8;

var columnTemplate = series.columns.template;
columnTemplate.strokeWidth = 2;
columnTemplate.strokeOpacity = 1;

Airtable JSON输出

{
  "records": [
    {
      "id": "recXXXXXX",
      "fields": {
        "Name": "EpiServer",
        "Typeform Responses": [
          "recXXXXXX",
          "recXXXXXX",
          "recXXXXXX"
        ],
        "Aggregate Responses": 3
      },
      "createdTime": "2020-05-22T16:11:01.000Z"
    },
    {
      "id": "recXXXXXX",
      "fields": {
        "Name": "OneDrive",
        "Typeform Responses": [
          "recXXXXXX",
          "recXXXXXX",
          "recXXXXXX",
          "recXXXXXX"
        ],
        "Aggregate Responses": 4
      },
      "createdTime": "2020-05-22T16:50:41.000Z"
    },
  ]
}

你对格式不同的怀疑是正确的。AmCharts需要一个简单的、扁平的对象数组，在其中可以找到您指定的字段，因此您需要将外部数据转换为AmCharts可以接受的格式。您可以使用parseended事件重新映射数据，如下所示：

    chart.dataSource.events.on("parseended", function(ev) {
      // parsed data is assigned to data source's `data` property
      // pluck data from the records array in your raw data
      ev.target.data = ev.target.data.records.map(function(dataItem) {
        return {
          "Aggregate Responses": dataItem.fields["Aggregate Responses"],
          "Name": dataItem.fields.Name
        }
      });
    }); 

下面的示例使用您的代码和示例数据的base64编码数据URL作为演示：

​

// Create chart instance
var chart = am4core.create("CHARTDIV", am4charts.XYChart);

// External data source
//chart.dataSource.url = "https://api.airtable.com/v0/appXXXXXXX/airtable-table-name?api_key=keyXXXXXXX";
chart.dataSource.url = dataURI(); //fake URL for demonstration purposes
chart.dataSource.events.on("parseended", function(ev) {
  // parsed data is assigned to data source's `data` property
  ev.target.data = ev.target.data.records.map(function(dataItem) {
    return {
      "Aggregate Responses": dataItem.fields["Aggregate Responses"],
      "Name": dataItem.fields.Name
    }
  });
}); 

// Create axes

var categoryAxis = chart.yAxes.push(new am4charts.CategoryAxis());
categoryAxis.dataFields.category = "Name";
categoryAxis.renderer.grid.template.location = 0;
categoryAxis.renderer.minGridDistance = 30;

var valueAxis = chart.xAxes.push(new am4charts.ValueAxis());

// Create series
var series = chart.series.push(new am4charts.ColumnSeries());
series.dataFields.valueX = "Aggregate Responses";
series.dataFields.categoryY = "Name";
series.name = "Aggregate Responses";
series.columns.template.tooltipText = "{categoryY}: [bold]{valueX}[/]";
series.columns.template.fillOpacity = .8;

var columnTemplate = series.columns.template;
columnTemplate.strokeWidth = 2;
columnTemplate.strokeOpacity = 1;

// base64 encoded version of sample data as a data URI
function dataURI() {
  return "data:application/json;base64,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";

确保您的数据是有效的JSON，因为您的示例有一个不正确的后缀逗号。
