**TradingVue.js** is a hackable charting lib for traders. You can draw literally ANYTHING on top of candlestick charts.
## Why
If you create trading software - this lib is probably for you. If you like to make custom indicators and think out of the box - this lib is most likely for you. And if you miss usability of [TradingView.com](https://www.tradingview.com) in other open-source libraries and can't stand it - you are definetly in the right place!
## Features
* Scrolling & zooming as we all like
* Simple API for making new overlays
* No need for fancy math
* One overlay === one .vue component
* Fully reactive
* Fully responsive
* Customizable colors and fonts

## Install
**NPM**
```
npm i trading-vue-js
```
**In browser**
```
```
## How to use
Minimal working example:
```html
```
## Core philosophy
The core philosophy is **Data -> Screen Mapping (DSM)**. The library provides you with functions that map your data (it could be anything) to screen coordinates. The lib does all the dirty work behind the scenes: scrolling, scaling, reactivity, etc.
```
layout.t2screen(t) // time -> x
layout.$2screen($) // price -> y
layout.t_magnet(t) // time -> nearest candle x
layout.screen2$(y) // y -> price
layout.screen2t(x) // x -> time
```
Using these functions and the standard js canvas API, you can do magic.
## Data structure
PRO TIP: **chart** is mandatory if you want to see something other than a white screen
```js
{
"chart": [ // Mandatory
"type": "",
"data": [
[timestamp, open, high, low, close, volume],
...
],
"settings": { } // Settings (depending on Chart Type)
],
"onchart": [ // Displayed ON the chart
{
"name": "",
"type": "",
"data": [
[timestamp, ... ], // Arbitrary length
...
],
"settings": { } // Arbitrary settings format
},
...
],
"offchart": [ // Displayed BELOW the chart
{
"name": "",
"type": "",
"data": [
[timestamp, ... ], // Arbitrary length
...
],
"settings": { } // Arbitrary settings format
},
...
]
}
```
The process of adding a new indicator is simple: first you define your own data format (should be timestamped though) and display settings. For example, EMA data might look like this:
```json
{
"name": "EMA, 25",
"type": "EMA",
"data": [
[ 1551128400000, 3091 ],
[ 1551132000000, 3112 ],
[ 1551135600000, 3105 ]
],
"settings": {
"color": "#42b28a"
}
},
```
## Example of a simple overlay class
And then you make a new overlay class to display that data on the grid:
```js
import { Overlay } from 'trading-vue-js'
export default {
name: 'EMA',
mixins: [Overlay],
methods: {
draw(ctx) {
const layout = this.$props.layout
ctx.strokeStyle = this.color
ctx.beginPath()
for (var p of this.$props.data) {
// t2screen & $2screen - special functions that
// map your data coordinates to grid coordinates
let x = layout.t2screen(p[0])
let y = layout.$2screen(p[1])
ctx.lineTo(x, y)
}
ctx.stroke()
},
use_for() { return ['EMA'] },
data_colors() { return [this.color] }
},
computed: {
color() {
return this.$props.settings.color
}
}
}
```
That's why the title doesn't lie: you can draw ANYTHING.
