Infovyz is a visualization component library based on d3.js. It provides an API optimized for usage in self-updating real-time dashboards. Currently it offers bar charts, line charts and geographic maps.

npm install infovyz

bower install infovyz

Add the required files to your HTML file. Please note that Infovyz requires d3.js V4 (https://www.npmjs.com/package/d3) and d3-tile (https://www.npmjs.com/package/d3-tile).

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="node_modules/infovyz/build/infovyz.css">
<script src="//d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js"></script>
<script src="//d3js.org/d3-tile.v0.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/infovyz/build/infovyz.min.js"></script>

To get started and initialize a geographic map attached to the body tag, use the following JavaScript code:

var map = infovyz(d3).map('body');

Just call map() again with an array of location objects to add some bubbles to the map:

map([
  {
    id: 'Vienna, Austria',
    latitude: 48.210033,
    longitude: 16.363449
    value: 1.741
  },
  {
    id: 'Berlin, Germany',
    latitude: 52.520008,
    longitude: 13.404954
    value: 3.502
  }
]);

To run the examples in your browser, clone the repository to your local machine and run the other commands:

git clone https://github.com/weblyzard/infovyz.git
cd infovyz
npm install
npm start

The console output should tell you at which address you can reach the static webserver, for example http://localhost:8080/examples.

• State Capitals: Basic usage, shows initialization and data updates. http://localhost:8080/examples/state-capitals/
• Earthquakes: Demonstrates automatic periodic data updates. http://localhost:8080/examples/earthquakes/
• Travel: Uses map.panTo() to transition to certain locations. http://localhost:8080/examples/travel/

In addition to the examples, the library itself is documented in API.md.

Infovyz is using tape for testing its functionality:

npm install
npm test

The build process uses rollup (https://github.com/rollup/rollup), so you can use ES6 modules, however the rest of the code is still ES5.

During development, using the following command allows you to watch the source files and do an automatic rebuild. Please note that minifying is not done at this stage.

npm run-script watch
