Wow, I actually just implemented this same thing (but using D3/Rickshaw[1]). If only this had come out a week ago.

Really? I can see no mention of Angular on that page you linked.

The link actually points to the library he used with angular, not to his own work.

He probably used angular to create easier to use bindings to use Rickshaw.

Put together one of these for the jQuery Flot Chart lib:

Also shouted you out in the example for the inspiration to get off my butt and share it on GitHub.

Erik, Awesome. I used Chart.js because it's come up a lot lately and is well documented, but Flot and the other more mature chart libs are probably better for most charting projects (read, allow dynamic data updates). Will try your wrapper today. - Lindsay

Thanks - right now I put up the <piechart> but soon will add the rest of the Flot library. I use Flot on a project dashboard and it does dynamic data updates nicely.

Also, I really like what you did by moving not just the data but parts of the chart setup itself - that is something I'll incorporate into Flang as well.

Thanks again.

Talk about serendipity, I literally discovered Chart.js about an hour ago, searched for Angular directives for it on the off chance someone already made it, didn't find anything, then came to Hacker News and here is Angles.js.

Looks great, nice and easy to use. Excited to try it out!

lgsilverOP12y ago

Awesome. I just whipped it up today to help with some dashboards at work. Will probably make it more full-featured. Let me know if you have suggestions.

Something similar for highcharts here: https://github.com/pablojim/highcharts-ng

This is great news, great timing and great work. I knocked together a simple angular directive for JustGage (https://github.com/mattlaver/angular-justgage) a week or so back for a dashboard I was putting together and have been looking for some nice directives for charting to add to what I already had.

I was just reading about chart.js and knockout!

Aynbody that has worked a fair bit with ChartJS want to give their opinions on it? What are the limitations?

This is great! I will be making intranet dashboard for work and this will definitely help. :)

Great work, swapping out my existing glue code in favor of this presently.

License or it didn't happen. :/

Looks nice though!
