https://cfpb.github.io/cfpb-chart-builder/
Add a div with a class of cfpb-chart and the following data attributes to your page:
<div class="cfpb-chart"
data-chart-type="line"
data-chart-title="Number of Originations (in millions)"
data-chart-y-axis-label="Volume of Originations (in billons)"
data-chart-description="Auto loan originations decreased in 2016."
data-chart-color="green"
data-chart-metadata="Number of Loans"
data-chart-source="consumer-credit-trends/auto-loans.csv">
Auto loan originations decreased in 2016.
</div>
Add the library to your page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="dist/cfpb-chart-builder.js"></script>
It'll generate a chart for you:
You can also manually initialize a chart by providing a target element.
Install the library with npm install cfpb-chart-builder and then:
const ccb = require( 'cfpb-chart-builder' );
const chart = ccb.createChart({
el: document.getElementById('my-chart-div'),
source: 'http://mywebsite.com/api/data.json',
type: 'line',
color: 'green'
});
// Charts can be updated and redrawn
chart.update({
source: 'http://mywebsite.com/api/some-other-data.json',
});Create a CFPB chart.
Config options can be passed as an argument to createChart or as a data attribute on
an element with a class of cfpb-chart (see above).

- Install Node.js 8 however you'd like.
- Install Gulp:
npm install -g gulp - Install the dependencies and compile the project with:
./setup.sh
NOTE: To re-install and rebuild all the site’s assets run
./setup.sh again. See the usage section on updating all the
project dependencies.
Each time you fetch from the upstream repository (this repo), run ./setup.sh.
This setup script will remove and re-install the project dependencies and
rebuild the site's JavaScript and CSS assets.
To run the site on a local server,
run gulp watch from the project root.
Running in this manner will also watch for changes in the source code
and automatically update the running site.
When running the site locally, you can temporarily link changes you are making to the code with the cfgov-refresh project.
- In the cfpb-chart-builder directory, run:
npm link - In the cfgov-refresh directory:
./setup.sh npm link cfpb-chart-builder gulp build ./runserver.sh - When you're done and want to bring back the published package:
npm unlink cfpb-chart-builder yarn add cfpb-chart-builder gulp build
- After merging all PRs needed for release, update the version in
package.jsonusing semantic versioning. This command will also tag and commit the updated version:# change patch to minor or major as needed npm version patch - Push the new version and tag to Github:
git push upstream main --tags - Create a new release description on Github at https://github.com/cfpb/cfpb-chart-builder/releases/new using your new tag.
- Publish to npm:
npm publish
npm test will run unit and browser tests.
Sauce Labs is used to test the charts in IE 10. (Note: This is not working correctly as of 1/24/19.) An Open Sauce account has been created for this repo. Its credentials can be found at https://GHE/gist/contolini/504ea71f6a19c74090c7a150aff60421. Add the credentials locally by doing:
cp test/config.json.example test/config.json- Add valid Sauce Labs credentials to
test/config.json(see above gist).
The browser tests will take several minutes to run.
The test script simply loads http://localhost:8089/ in IE VMs and reports any window errors.
