Using charts in UI builder

Joel_Maclean · February 11, 2021, 6:20am

I’m testing out the user the chart functionality in the UI builder. Is there a way to force 2 series to use the same Y axis? It seems the second series is forcing a second Y axis and so the 2 series dont chart comparatively.

Also is there a way to put JSON values to the chart as opposed to using data from a table?

Hello @Joel_Maclean

At this moment it’s not possible to have common Y axis as well as using JSON values instead of DataTable.
However, those both features are in our roadmap.

Thanks Vlad, does backendless currently support 3rd party charting like chart.js or other?

Also is there a way to dynamically pass values into the chart where clause like $authenticateduser for example?

If we are talking about integration with the UI Builder the answer is yes. There is an IFrame component that can render any HTML page, so you can create a simple HTML page with any visualization and use it in the UI-Builder.

Also is there a way to dynamically pass values into the chart where clause like $authenticateduser for example?
Unfortunately, it’s not implemented yet either.
