Adding a chart dynamically

[Joseph Farrar]

I'm creating a dashboard. The backend database stores the type of telerik chart control should go into which box. Very simply is it even possible based on the data response to then add that telerik chart control to the corresponding div? Sample code below.

Anytime I attempt this there are javascript errors due to the HTML and javascript emitted from the toHtmlString() method.
However I see no other way to perform this based on the javascript setup.

At this point it's 100% static to determine if this is even feasible.

<script>
//pseudo code to get data from database
//now add the right control to the div

 switch(controlType) {
            case "grid":
                break;
            case "bar":
                break;
            case "pie":
                $('#widgetcontrol' + widgetId).html('@(Html.Kendo().Chart()
                  .Name("pieChart")
                  .Legend(legend => legend
                      .Position(ChartLegendPosition.Top)
                  )
                  .ChartArea(chartArea => chartArea
                      .Background("transparent")
                      .Height(250)
                  )
                  .Series(series =>
                  {
                      series.Pie(new dynamic[]
                      {
                          new {category = "Test", value = 957, color = "#9de219"},
                          new {category = "Test 2", value = 124, color = "#90cc38"},
                          new {category = "Test 3", value = 567, color = "#068c35"},
                          new {category = "Test 4", value = 678, color = "#006634"},
                    })
                        .Labels(labels => labels
                          .Template("#= category #: \n #= value# (#= kendo.format('{0:P}', percentage)#)")
                          .Background("transparent")
                          .Visible(false)
                        )
                        .StartAngle(150);
                    })
                    .Tooltip(tooltip => tooltip
                       .Visible(true)
                       .Template("#= category #: \n #= value# (#= kendo.format('{0:P}', percentage)#)")
                    ).ToHtmlString())');
                break;
            case "counter":
                break;

Hello, Joseph,

The desired result can be achieved by using a Razor switch and the following syntax:

@switch (1) // controType
{
    case 1:
        <div class="demo-section k-content wide">
        @(Html.Kendo().Chart(Model)
        .Name("chart")
        .Title("Internet Users in United States")
        .Legend(legend => legend.Visible(false))
        .Series(series =>
        {
            series.Line(model => model.Value)
                .Name("United States").CategoryField("Year")
                .Labels(labels => labels.Format("{0}%").Visible(true));
        })
        .CategoryAxis(axis => axis
            .MajorGridLines(lines => lines.Visible(false))
        )
        .ValueAxis(axis => axis.Numeric()
            .Labels(labels => labels.Format("{0}%"))
            .Line(lines => lines.Visible(false))
        )
            )
        </div>
        break;
    case 2:
        <p>Another type</p>
        break;
}

I hope this is helpful.

Regards,
Stefan
