Good ScalaJS visualization libraries?

[Chuanlong Du]

Hi everyone,

I just came across ScalaJS and spent a few hours reading materials about it. There are lots of interesting examples but very few on visualization (charts, etc.). Is there any good ScalaJS based visualization library which are comparable to D3, HightCharts, etc.? Or do I still have to call JS visualization libraries? 

Best,

It might be hard to beat existing JavaScript visualization libraries, and maybe pointless to even attempt to do so. So you probably should use one of the existing JavaScript libraries. There is a facade for D3.js in particular, although I don't know if it is up to date:

    https://github.com/spaced/scala-js-d3

Here is a list of facades to popular JavaScript libraries:

    https://www.scala-js.org/libraries/facades.html

You can access existing JavaScript libraries without using facades, although that is tedious and you will probably end up writing some facade code as you go.

Thank you, Erik!

If you are interested in working with the latest D3 version 4 (https://github.com/d3/d3/blob/master/CHANGES.md),

I started to write a facade: https://github.com/fdietze/scala-js-d3v4

Feedback and contributions are very welcome. In most cases adding a missing facade method is a few lines of code.

Hi Felix,

Good to know! I'll definitely give it a try.

Hi,
you should also try the plotlyjs facade: https://github.com/DefinitelyScala/scala-js-plotlyjs
It is very easy to use (much more than 3Djs ;)) and offer a very large range of nice plots (potentially all the 2D ones provided by plotly actually).
I will start shortly a example repository. For now, you can have a look to this example: http://zebulon.iscpif.fr/~leclaire/plots/test.html

Enjoy
Mathieu

Hi Mathieu, 

plotly is great! I used in in Python and R before. But unfortunately it has limit on API calls.
