Sample Code

Keshif only has one main function: kshf.init, and all the configuration is done by modifying the parameters passed to this function.

kshf.init({
    domID : "#chart_div4",
    categoryTextWidth:186,
    source : {
        gdocId : '0Ai6LdDWgaqgNdFhuMXh0V1E2Wk5tU19JaDltUWVMVnc',
        sheets : [ {name:"Posts"} ]
    },
    loadedCb: function(){
        postCols = kshf.dt_ColNames.Posts;
        kshf.cellToArray(kshf.dt.Posts, [postCols.categories], ",", false);
    },
    facets: [ // 2 facets, the first one also describing time chart
        {   facetTitle: "Category",
            timeTitle: "Date"
        },{
            facetTitle: "Author",
            catDispCountFix: 6,
            textFilter: 'by', textGroup: 'authors'
        }
    ],
    itemDisplay:{
        sortColWidth: 55,
        columns : [
            {   name: 'Date', value: function(d){ return d.data[postCols.date].getUTCFullYear(); } }
        ],
        textSearch : 'Title',
        contentFunc : function(d) { 
        	// return an html string which you can generate from the data parameter, d
                return d.data.Name; // We are using the "Name" data of the object.
        }
    }
});
