StockChart JSP Tag Overview
The Chart JSP tag is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI StockChart widget.
Getting Started
Configuration
Below are listed the steps for you to follow when configuring the Kendo UI StockChart for binding to data, passed as a model attribute in Spring MVC.
Step 1 Make sure you followed all the steps from the introductory article on Telerik UI for JSP.
Step 2 Create a new action method and pass the InternetUsers list as the model.
@RequestMapping(value = {"/", "/index"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String index(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("viewModel", ChartDataRepository.BoeingStockData());
return "/dataviz/financial/index";
}
Step 3 Add a server-bound chart.
<kendo:stockChart name="stockChart" dateField="date">
<kendo:stockChart-title text="The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA)" />
<kendo:dataSource data="${viewModel}" />
<kendo:stockChart-series>
<kendo:stockChart-seriesItem type="candlestick" openField="open" highField="high" lowField="low" closeField="close" />
</kendo:stockChart-series>
<kendo:stockChart-navigator>
<kendo:stockChart-navigator-series>
<kendo:stockChart-navigator-seriesItem type="line" field="close" />
</kendo:stockChart-navigator-series>
</kendo:stockChart-navigator>
</kendo:stockChart>
Event Handling
Subscribe to Events
You can subscribe to all events exposed by Kendo UI StockChart by the handler name.
<kendo:chart name="chart" dateField="date"
dataBound="stock_dataBound"
seriesClick="stock_seriesClick">
<kendo:stockChart-title text="The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA)" />
<kendo:dataSource data="${viewModel}" />
<kendo:stockChart-series>
<kendo:stockChart-seriesItem type="candlestick" openField="open" highField="high" lowField="low" closeField="close" />
</kendo:stockChart-series>
<kendo:stockChart-navigator>
<kendo:stockChart-navigator-series>
<kendo:stockChart-navigator-seriesItem type="line" field="close" />
</kendo:stockChart-navigator-series>
</kendo:stockChart-navigator>
</kendo:chart>
<script>
function stock_dataBound() {
// Handle the dataBound event
}
function stock_seriesClick() {
// Handle the series click event
}
</script>
Reference
Existing Instances
You are able to reference an existing StockChart instance via the jQuery.data(). Once a reference is established, you are able to use the StockChart API to control its behavior.
// Put this after your Kendo StockChart tag
<script>
$(function() {
// Notice that the Name() of the chart is used to get its client-side instance
var chart = $("#stockChart").data("kendoChart");
});
</script>
