I am trying to create a button in my app which will refresh random data in a graph (made using react-native-chart-kit) using a React Native Button Component. My Code is below:
import * as React from 'react';
import {useState} from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View, Switch, Dimensions, Button, Alert } from 'react-native';
import { LineChart } from "react-native-chart-kit";
import Header from "./components/Header";
import Colors from "./constants/colors";
export default function App() {
const [isEnabled, setIsEnabled] = useState(false);
const toggleSwitch = () => setIsEnabled(previousState => !previousState);
function refresh_data(){
...
//Code here?
...
}
return (
<View style = {styles.screen}>
<View style = {styles.button}>
<Button
title="Refresh"
color={Colors.primary}
onPress={() => refresh_data}
/>
</View>
<View style = {styles.graph}>
<View style = {{flex: 1}}>
<Text style = {styles.text}>Bezier Line Chart</Text>
</View>
<View style={{flex: 2}}>
<LineChart
data={{
labels: ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June"],
datasets: [{
data: [
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100
]
}]
}}
width={Math.floor(Dimensions.get("window").width * 0.6)} // from react-native
height={220}
yAxisLabel="$"
yAxisSuffix="k"
yAxisInterval={1} // optional, defaults to 1
chartConfig={{
backgroundColor: "#e26a00",
backgroundGradientFrom: "#fb8c00",
backgroundGradientTo: "#ffa726",
decimalPlaces: 2, // optional, defaults to 2dp
color: (opacity = 1) => `rgba(255, 255, 255, ${opacity})`,
labelColor: (opacity = 1) => `rgba(255, 255, 255, ${opacity})`,
style: {
borderRadius: 16
},
propsForDots: {
r: "6",
strokeWidth: "2",
stroke: "#ffa726"
}
}}
bezier
style={{
marginVertical: 8,
borderRadius: 16

/>
</View>
</View>
</View>
);
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
screen: {
flex: 1,
alignItems: 'stretch',
justifyContent: 'center'
},
button: {
alignSelf: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
flex: 1
},
graph: {
flex: 3,
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center'
}
});
I'm pretty new to Javascript and React so this is likely a pretty basic question and I'd like to learn more than anything. One think I tried was having the entire page reload using location.reload() but that isn't what I am looking for (i know because it have a switch in another part of the app which refreshes the data whenever it is clicked, I just can't figure out how). Thanks in advance for any help!
Add some initial "random" data to component state, and in the refresh_data
click handler set state with new "random" data.
Also, the correct syntax for setting onClick
callback is onClick={refresh_data}
or onClick={() => refresh_data()}
.
export default function App() {
const [randomData, setRandomData] = useState([
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100
]);
const [isEnabled, setIsEnabled] = useState(false);
const toggleSwitch = () => setIsEnabled(previousState => !previousState);
function refresh_data(){
setRandomData([
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100,
Math.random() * 100
])
}
return (
<View style = {styles.screen}>
<View style = {styles.button}>
<Button
title="Refresh"
color={Colors.primary}
onPress={refresh_data}
/>
</View>
<View style = {styles.graph}>
<View style = {{flex: 1}}>
<Text style = {styles.text}>Bezier Line Chart</Text>
</View>
<View style={{flex: 2}}>
<LineChart
data={{
labels: ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June"],
datasets: [{ data: randomData }]
}}
width={Math.floor(Dimensions.get("window").width * 0.6)} // from react-native
height={220}
yAxisLabel="$"
yAxisSuffix="k"
yAxisInterval={1} // optional, defaults to 1
chartConfig={{
backgroundColor: "#e26a00",
backgroundGradientFrom: "#fb8c00",
backgroundGradientTo: "#ffa726",
decimalPlaces: 2, // optional, defaults to 2dp
color: (opacity = 1) => `rgba(255, 255, 255, ${opacity})`,
labelColor: (opacity = 1) => `rgba(255, 255, 255, ${opacity})`,
style: {
borderRadius: 16
},
propsForDots: {
r: "6",
strokeWidth: "2",
stroke: "#ffa726"
}
}}
bezier
style={{
marginVertical: 8,
borderRadius: 16
}}
/>
</View>
</View>
</View>
);
}
There's a lot of repetition though, so I'd also create a random data utility:
const createRandomData = (length = 10) => Array(length)
.fill()
.map(() => Math.random() * 100);
const createRandomData = (length = 10) => Array(length).fill().map(() => Math.random() * 100);
console.log(createRandomData(3));
console.log(createRandomData(6));
console.log(createRandomData(12));
New usage:
const [randomData, setRandomData] = useState(createRandomData(12));
...
setRandomData(createRandomData(12));
