Wijmo UI for the Web
AngularJS and wijsparkline
Wijmo User Guide > AngularJS Directives > AngularJS and wijsparkline

In this Angular getting started guide, you'll learn how to use the wijsparkline widget in an HTML project using HTML markup, jQuery script, and AngularJS directives.

For more complex samples that have the controller and model in separate files, see the AngularJS Directive Gallery on our web site.

  1. To create a new HTML page in your favorite text editor, add the following code and save the document with an .html extension. Notice that the <HTML> and <body> tags are different from our usual tags.
    • The <HTML> tag is marked as an Angular app with the ng-app directive, in our script, we will specify that it uses Wijmo.
    • The <body> tag is used to define the scope of the Angular controller that we create. You can use another tag such as a <div> for the scope, but for our purposes, we will use the entire body. The ng-controller directive specifies the controller to use within this scope.

    Drop down and copy markup

    Paste in your favorite text editor.
    Copy Code
    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
    <HTML ng-app="MyApp">
    <head>
    </head>
    <body ng-controller="MyController">
    </body>
    </HTML>
    
  2. Add links to the dependencies to your HTML page within the <head> tags. Find the latest dependencies in the content delivery network (CDN) file at wijmo cdn. Along with our usual references, we add two script references for Angular that must come after the jQuery references, so they are the last two lines:
    • For AngularJS itself.
    • For Wijmo's Angular javascript integration library.

    Drop down and copy references to paste inside the head tags

    References
    Copy Code

  3. Within the <head> tags, below the references, add the following script to set the app to use Wijmo, and to create a simple controller with a $scope parameter to control data context.
    Script
    Copy Code
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var app = angular.module("MyApp", ["wijmo"]);
    function MyController($scope, $locale) {
        $scope.data = [
            33, 11, 15, 26, 16, 27, 37, -13, 8, -8, -3, 17, 0, 22, -13, -29, 19, 8
        ];
    }
    
    </script>
  4. Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widgets. To see how this is done in jQuery without Angular, see Sparkline Quick Start.

    We use a <wij-sparkline> directive to create the first widget, and set its height and width.

    Markup
    Copy Code
    <wij-sparkline data="data" height="80" width="150">
       </wij-sparkline>
  5. The widget appears like the following live widget.
