Breaking Changes

Changes for functional props and styles:

Related PR: #1360

Functional props like labels and functional styles will now be called with a single argument instead of datum and active. The argument passed to functional props and styles will be an object containing all the props that control the rendering of the the target the prop applies to. Including things like datum, active, index, data, scale, etc. We hope this will give users a lot more flexibility and control. In most cases, this change should be very straightforward to apply

old:

labels={(d) => `x: ${d.x}`}

new

labels={({ datum }) => `x: ${d.x}`}

Gotchas:

• Some of the props passed into functional props and styles may themselves be functions. These will not be evaluated, because we have no way to determine evaluation order. So, if you create a cornerRadius function that depends on barWidth, do not also make barWidth a function of some other prop.
• A few props that take functions do not follow this pattern. These include data accessor functions like y and x, and tickFormat. The arguments for these props have not changed.

Changes for VictoryCandlestick labels

Related PR: #1295

VictoryCandlestick now has granular support for labels corresponding to each portion of the candle. The current labels and labelComponent props will be joined by new props corresponding to each part of the candle.
New props
lowLabels
lowLabelComponent
highLabels
highLabelComponent
openLabels
openLabelComponent
closeLabels
closeLabelComponent

This will be a breaking change affecting the positioning of the default label. In earlier versions, the default label was positioned above the candle, it will now be positioned next to the center of the candle.
To use older label positioning, use highLabels / highLabelComponent rather than label / labelComponent. If you are using tooltips with VictoryCandlestick, you will need to register a custom event to trigger your highLabels tooltip:

example:

<VictoryCandlestick
  highLabels={({ datum }) => datum.high}
  highLabelComponent={<VictoryTooltip />}
  events={[{
    target: "data",
    eventHandlers: {
      onMouseOver: () => ({ target: "highLabels", mutation: () => ({ active: true }) }),
      onMouseOut: () => ({ target: "highLabels", mutation: () => ({ active: false }) })
    }
  }]}
/>

The style prop for VictoryCandlestick now also has namespaces for the new labels in addition to the current labels namespace. When both labels and specific label styles (e.g. highLabels) are provided, the styles will be merged

Changes for VictoryVoronoiContainer

Related PR: #1371

Before this version VictoryVoronoiContainer had limited functionality for mouse-following tooltips, and for constraining a tooltip to the chart area, but it was only usable for multi-point tooltips (with voronoiDimension), and was not user configurable. This version aims to correct these limitations:

• mouseFollowTooltips: This new boolean prop on VictoryVoronoiContainer determines whether the labels should follow the mouse position or snap into place. (Note that in charts using voronoiDimension, the tooltip still follows the mouse in the non-voronoiDimension, as demonstrated in the charts below (both with voronoiDimension="x")

mouseFollowLabels={true}

mouseFollowTooltips={false}

• constrained tooltips: multi-point tooltips rendered by VictoryVoronoiContainer will no longer be constrained to the chart area by default. Instead, add the constrainToVisibleArea prop to VictoryTooltip to enable this behavior for both multi-point and single point tooltips:
  example:

containerComponent={
  <VictoryVoronoiContainer
    labelComponent={<VictoryTooltip constrainToVisibleArea />}
  />
}

Changes for VictoryTooltip and VictoryLabel

Related PR:#1371

The changes we wanted to make to support new behaviors in VictoryVoronoiContainer required some changes to VictoryTooltip and VictoryLabel

New props for VictoryTooltip:

• constrainToVisibleArea is a boolean prop that, when true, will alter the position of the tooltip so that it exactly fits within the svg Victory renders. The tooltip's center will be moved, but the pointer will remain pointing at the associated x, y value of the tooltip. When this prop is set to true, pointerLength may not be respected

• center is a prop that may be given as an object with values or functions for "x" and "y". When this prop is set, it will position the center of the tooltip (centered around the main body of the tooltip, minus the pointer). When this prop is not set, it will be calculated from other props such as x, y, pointerLength, etc. This prop was added to enable mouse-following tooltips in VictoryVoronoiContainer.

• centerOffset is a prop that may be given as an object with values or functions for "x" and "y". When this prop is set, the center of the tooltip will be offset by some amount from the x, y value it points to, resulting in a slanted pointer. When this prop is set, pointerLength will not be respected (because the pointer will be slanted)

• flyoutHeight (formerly height): This optional prop determines the height of the tooltip flyout (minus pointer). The name of this prop was changed so that it would not conflict with the height prop now passed to VictoryTooltip by its parents

• flyoutWidth (formerly width): This optional prop determines the width of the tooltip flyout (minus pointer). The name of this prop was changed so that it would not conflict with the width prop now passed to VictoryTooltip by its parents

• width: the overall width of the parent svg. This prop will be passed down from any victory component that uses VictoryTooltip as a label

• height: the overall height of the parent svg. This prop will be passed down from any victory component that uses VictoryTooltip as a label

Changes Affecting VictoryLabel and VictoryTooltip

• The x and y values passed to labels by their parent components have all been adjusted so that their values match the position of the data point they correspond to. All padding is now accounted for in the dx and dy props instead of being added directly to x and y.
  This will be a breaking change for anyone who is wrapping label components and relying on the x and y props they receive, or providing their own dx / dy props. These breaking changes may take a bit of manual adjustment to correct, but we hope this change will make label positioning easier to reason about in the long run.

Other Changes
We have been concurrently working on improving performance and the stability of events in victory-native. The following changes have been added to support these efforts:

Related PR: #1373

• A prependDefaultAxes boolean prop has been added to VictoryChart. This prop will be set true by default in victory-native to reduce the possibility of axis elements to interfere with events.
• Invisible ticks and grids will no longer be rendered unless they have events attached to them. This is again to reduce interference with events.

Related PR: #1365

• Swapped out React component primitives (Bar, Path etc) with for function primitives to match performance-improving changes in victory-native. (This is a breaking change for anyone extending from victory components)

Horizontal Chart Improvements!

#1258

The goal of this change is to make it possible to turn any existing chart into a horizontal chart by adding the horizontal prop to the chart without needing to alter any other props.

• supports horizontal versions of all chart types without needing to alter data
• supports all event containers for horizontal charts
• enforces consistency across props that take x and y values so that the x value always refers to the independent dimension, and the y value always refers to the dependent dimension.
• the orientation of VictoryAxis components is no longer tied to whether or not they are the dependentAxis

Breaking Changes

Most Horizontal Charts
The change in how props with x and y values are treated (i.e. scale, domain, etc) will be a breaking change for most horizontal charts. In most cases, reversing the x and y values of props you are providing to your horizontal chart will be sufficient to correct the change. For example:

<VictoryChart horizontal scale={{ x: "log" }} domain={{ y: [4, 9] }}>
  <VictoryBar
    data={[
      { x: 5, y: 0.1 },
      { x: 6, y: 1 },
      { x: 7, y: 10 },
      { x: 8, y: 100 }
    ]}
  />
</VictoryChart>

Should be changed to:

<VictoryChart horizontal scale={{ y: "log" }} domain={{ x: [4, 9] }}>
  <VictoryBar
    data={[
      { x: 5, y: 0.1 },
      { x: 6, y: 1 },
      { x: 7, y: 10 },
      { x: 8, y: 100 }
    ]}
  />
</VictoryChart>

Props affected by this change are: scale, domain, maxDomain, minDomain, domainPadding, and categories

Horizontal Charts with Event Containers
Dimension props such as brushDimension have changed so that they always refer to the dimension of the target variable (x for the independent variable, and y for the dependent variable). For example, a VictoryBrushContainer component with brushDimension="x" will move and expand only in the independent dimension regardless of whether the chart is horizontal.

Props affected by this change are: brushDimension, cursorDimension, selectionDimension, voronoiDimension, and zoomDimension

Horizontal Charts with Custom dataComponents
The position values (i.e. x, y, x0, y0) supplied to custom dataComponents from components like VictoryChart will be scaled for the layout of the horizontal chart. Users who rely on these values may need to flip them or adjust them depending on their use case

Horizontal VictoryBoxPlot
Previously VictoryBoxPlot required data to be flipped (x values flipped with y values) in order to plot horizontal charts. This is no longer required, and providing data in this format will no longer work correctly. To correct for this change, it should be sufficient to flip the data used in horizontal charts

v31.3.0

(2019-02-23)

• 1247 Adds support for labelOrientation as an object for VictoryBoxPlot. Thanks @mAAdhaTTah

v31.2.0

(2019-01-27)

Axis improvements

• 1244 Supports the axisValue prop for both cartesian and polar charts. This prop allows users to position an axis relative to a value on the opposite axis. Values may be given as numbers, dates, or strings. This prop only works for axis components when they are nested within VictoryChart. Standalone axes can still be positioned using offsetX and offsetY` props.
• 1240 Allows multiple independent axes in a single chart

Removes all deprecated lifecycle methods

• 1239 Removes all componentWillReceiveProps lifecycle methods and adds shouldComponentUpdate logic for higher level components. Previously only the lowest level components performed sCU checks.
• 1228 Replaces componentWillMount with componentDidMount

bug fixes

• 1243 Prevents VictoryBrushLine active brushes from overflowing the brush area when a chart is zoomed
• 1241 Fixes a regression effecting immutable data rendering
• 1227 Fixes a minor regression effecting parent event keys introduced by 1211

v31.1.0

(2019-01-08)

• 1222 Bugfix: Avoid rendering null values on discrete data

• 1218 Bugfix: Ensure that calculated domains respect custom baselines for VictoryBar and VictoryArea

• 1202 Bugfix: Correct missing bar values

• 1208 Performance: Improve performance in addEventKeys

• 1211 Performance: Optimize stringMap calculations

• 1212 Performance: Optimize for preformatted data:
  When data objects already contain _x, _y (and _y0 where appropriate) and have data accessor props like x="_x", data will no longer be formatted by Victory, but will be used as is.
  Example:

  <VictoryArea
    data={[ { _x: 0, _y0: 1, _y: 2 } ...]}
    x="_x"
    y="_y"
    y0="_y0"
  />
  

• 1209 Feature: Adds an animationWhitelist property to the animate prop. This property should be given as an array of strings. When this prop is given, only the prop names matching the array will be animated, and all other props will be instantaneously updates.

  Example:

  <VictoryBar
    animate={{
      animationWhitelist: ["data"]
    }}
    data={this.state.data}
    style={{
      data: this.state.style
    }}
  />
  

  When this property is not set, the static animationWhitelist of any given component will be used.
