Im new in Js and Jquery and I have a curiosity about the Jquery Chart that is free to download and I want to make the data inside to be coming from the database to make it dynamic but somehow I find it difficult to loop it in.
here is my sample code, I used PHP to get the database and pass it on a JS variable
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<?php
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","raksquad_centralized") or die("Error " . mysqli_error($link));
if($link->connect_error){
printf("Connect failed: %s
", $mysqli->connect_error);
exit();
}
$query = "SELECT * FROM raksquad_centralized.grade";
$result = $link->query($query);
$subject_id= array();
$genAve = array();
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
$subject_id[] = $row['subject_id'];
$genAve[]= $row['gen_ave'];
}
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function () {
var DataXAxis = <?php echo json_encode($subject_id); ?>; // X axis that corresponds to students
var DataYAxis = <?php echo json_encode($genAve); ?>; // Y axis that corresponds to grades
var chart = new CanvasJS.Chart("chartContainer",
{
title:{
text: "Top Students"
},
animationEnabled: true,
axisY: {
title: "Grades"
},
axisX: {
title: "Students"
},
legend: {
verticalAlign: "bottom",
horizontalAlign: "center"
},
theme: "theme2",
data: [
{
type: "column",
showInLegend: true,
legendMarkerColor: "grey",
legendText: "General Average",
dataPoints: [
//the area to loop with the value of DataXAxis, DataYAxis
{y: 98, label: "MT1234" },
{y: 72, label: "MT1236"} //corresponds to the barcharts
]
}
]
});
chart.render();
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./canvasjs.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="chartContainer" style="height: 300px; width: 100%;">
</div>
</body>
</html>
appreciate for the help, useful for learning :)
I just use a php code to fetch the data, then json encode it.
On the script use json parse
