How to make the dc.js charts responsive

Question

Is there a any way to make the dc.js charts responsive?

I\'m struggling a lot to make the charts fit the desktop size.

I\'m using Twitter Bootstrap

Answer 1

I've set up a plunker with a dc.js demo that I have rerendering when resized, and getting the width of the container element to determine the size. This is embedded in an iframe and working as-is. I suggest playing with this plunker to fit your css, as I'm just making the simplest possible iframe setup. I'm imagining you did something similar to this, so I"m not exactly sure where you went wrong. Hopefully this helps.

responsive DC chart in an iframe

Given a standard page with an iframe:

  
Test
  

And an iframe with containers and scripts to load the chart:

 
inside iframe
 
   

   
 
    

A call to get the width you need

var width = document.getElementById('box-test').offsetWidth;

Using that width for the initial render

chart
  .width(width)
  .height(480)
  .margins({top: 10, right: 50, bottom: 30, left: 50})
  .dimension(experimentDimension)
  .group(speedArrayGroup)
  .elasticY(true)
  .elasticX(true);

And finally a function to handle what to do on window resize

window.onresize = function(event) {
  var newWidth = document.getElementById('box-test').offsetWidth;
  chart.width(newWidth)
    .transitionDuration(0);
  pie.transitionDuration(0);
  dc.renderAll();
  chart.transitionDuration(750);
  pie.transitionDuration(750);
};
