Bar Indicator

BarIndicator is a jQuery plugin that helps you visualize numeric data (percentage or absolute numbers) in to bars.

Installation

Just include the bi-style.css and jquery-barIndicator.js files in your project, inside your <head> section:

<head> 	.... 	<link href="path/to/../BarIndicator_1.0/css/bi-style.css" rel="stylesheet" /> 	<script src="path/to/../jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script> 	<script src="path/to/../BarIndicator_1.0/jquery-barIndicator.js"></script> 	.... </head>

Dependencies

As Bar Indicator is a jQuery plugin, you have to include jQuery before calling the plugin.

[Optional] This plugin uses animations, so you have to use the easing plugin if you want to pass any of the amazing easing functions to the animations.

[Note] You might not include easing plugin, but if this is the case, you will not be able to use the easing option.

Initialize

All you need is a simple element as a <div> or a <span>. By default, the plugin will try and get the inner text (assuming that it is a numeric string) and visualize as a percentage in a bar with minimum limit equal to zero and maximum limit equal to 100%.

<div class="myElement">45</div>

You can, of course, use the plugin to an empty element and provide the number from the options (see data option):

<div class="myElement"></div>

In your scripts file (or inside a <script> tag):

$('.myElement').barIndicator();

That's it! The plugin has initialized using the default options.

Options

There is a number of possible options you can use to customize the appearance and behavior of the plugin. You can store the options object in a variable and pass this variable to the plugin:

var opt = {     optionOne: 'value-One',     optionTwo: 'value-Two',     ....     optionN: 'value-N' }  $('.myElement').barIndicator(opt);

Or directrly:

$('.myElement').barIndicator({ optionOne:'value-One' });

wrpClass

The class that the plugin adds by default to the affected element.

Default: 'bi-wrp'

Possible values: [string]

data

If false, the plugin assumes that the affected element contains a number and calculate the bar length based on that number. You can provide a number as a value.

Default: false

Possible values: [number]

style

There are two options: horizontal or vertical. If you do not pass any value for this option the plugin will produce a horizontal bar getting the default value.

Default: horizontal

Possible values: 'horizontal' / 'vertical'

theme

Change the appearance by changing the default theme, or you can create your own custom theme and call it from theme option.

Default: bi-default-theme

Possible values: [string]

animation

Enable or disable the animation of the indication bar passing true or false.

Default: true

Possible values: true / false

animTime

Change the animation time by passing a new duration in milliseconds.

Default: 300

Possible values: [number]

Have this in mind:

1000 milliseconds = 1 second

easing

This plugin uses animations, so in order to look prettier, uses easing functions too. With easing option, you can change the easing function in order to display a different animation style.

Default: easeOutExpo

Possible values: [string] (any valid easing string)

timeout

Set a time delay between the initialization event and the animation start in milliseconds.

Default: 0

Possible values: [number]

colorRange

If you enable colorRange, the plugin will give different color on the bar, depending on the target number.

Default: false

Possible values: true / false

colorRangeLimits

This option accepts an object of limits as value. By default, there are three limit ranges with their respective css styles (bi-style.css).

The default color range object looks like this:

colorRangeLimits: {		 	optimal: '0-40', 	alert: '41-70', 	critical: '71-100' }

This object gives a class of bi-cRange-<rangeName> to the parent element according to the range that holds the element's value.

For example, take the following element:

<div class="myElement">55</div>

If you instantiate the plugin, the element will get the class bi-cRange-alert because 55 (elements value) is inside the second default range (41-70).

You can create as many color ranges as you want, just by adding a new limit range and giving the desired color for this range, either with CSS or directly from the options object.

Let's say you create a new colorRange option object:

Important: As soon as you pass a color range object into the options, you have to include every range you want to exist (not just the new one)

colorRangeLimits: { 	optimal: '0-20',     aNewRange: '21-40', 	alert: '41-70', 	critical: '71-100' }

Now, you can either create the respective css rule inside the bi-style.css file:

Note: Be carefull with the theme you are working (here you are working with the default theme)

.bi-wrp.bi-default-theme.bi-cRange-aNewRange .bi-barInner { background-color:<yourColor> }

Or, you can pass the desired color ([HEX]|[colorName]|[rgb]) directly to the color range object:

colorRangeLimits: { 	optimal: '0-20',     newRangeOne: '21-40-#f5f5f5', 	newRangeTwo: '41-60-green', 	newRangeThree: '61-68-rgb(150,156,85)', 	alert: '69-85', 	critical: '86-100' }

Default: [colorRangeObject] ( the default object described above )

Possible values: [object] ( any object that meets the requirements mentioned above )

foreColor

Methods

You can call specific methods in order to perform specific tasks. Some of the available methods accept arguments too. In order to call a method you can pass it's name in a string:

$('.myElement').barIndicator('methodName', [params]);

A method call is chainable. This means that you can call a plugin's method and a jQuery method after that:

$('.myElement').barIndicator('methodName', [params]).addClass('newClass');

reanimateBar

Call this method if you want to execute the loading animation on demand.

$('.myElement').barIndicator('reanimateBar');

loadNewData

Call this method if you want to load new data on demand. Accepts the new data as a parameter (data)

var data = 85; //Any number $('.myElement').barIndicator('loadNewData', [data]);

destroy

Call this method if you want to disable the plugin and remove all of it's data.

$('.myElement').barIndicator('destroy');

Getters

Getters are methods that return some data and are not chainable. You can call a getter and store it's value in a variable:

var dataObj = $('.myElement').barIndicator('getterName');

getPluginData

Returns the data object that the plugin has stored to the affected element.

//Initialize $('.myElement').barIndicator(); //Call the getter and store it's value to a variable var storedData = $('.myElement').barIndicator('getPluginData'); console.log(storedData);

Events

Bar Indicator triggers numerous events in order to notify the user about the actions that take place during the lifecycle of the plugin. You can take advantage of this and trigger some other functions, on each of these events occurrence. For example, if you want to call a function as soon as the bar animation has finished:

$(document).on('bi.animationCompleted', function() {     // Trigger this function as soon as the bar completes it'a animation     myCustomFunction(); });

Some of these events return usefull information within an object. You can get this object like so:

$(document).on('bi.innerContentAppended', function(event,obj) {     var affectedElement = obj;     myCustomFunction(); });

bi.innerContentAppended (`return $el`)

Triggers as soon as the inner content is appended to the affected element.

return $el [ object ]: The element jQuery object

bi.milestoneAppended (`return $ml`)

Triggers on milestone append

return $ml [ object ]: The milestone jQuery object

bi.animationCompleted

Triggers as soon as the bar animation completes

bi.reanimateBarStart

Triggers on reanimate method call start

bi.reanimateBarStop

Triggers as soon as the reanimate method bar animation completes

bi.loadDataStart

Triggers on loadData method call start

bi.loadDataStop

Triggers as soon as the 'loadData' method bar animation completes

Specific events

You can listen an event from a specific element. You just have to provide an id to this element and listen to that specific event like this:

<span id="elemID">25</span>

Now, you can listen for the specific event:

//Initialize the plugin $('#elemID').barIndicator(); //Listen the 'bi.innerContentAppended' event //Add an underscore and the element's id after bi string $(document).on('bi_elemID.innerContentAppended', function() { 	//do your stuff.. });

The same way, if you would like to listen for the specific bi.animationCompleted event you would listen for this event:

'bi_elemID.animationCompleted'

Themes

The default theme, used by the plugin is the bi-default-theme. To create a custom theme, just copy the part of any built in theme css code, and create your own, replacing the bi-<themename>-theme with you own theme name. Then, in order to apply your custom theme, just put it in the options:

$('.myElement').barIndicator({ theme: 'bi-<themename>-theme' });
