How to bind remote data to Chart?

Essential Chart supports remote data binding that is binding data in the server with chart, using Essential DataManager. Refer Data Manager for information about using Essential DataManager for JavaScript.

The data manager object should be assigned to the dataSource property of series. The properties xName and yName of the series should be assigned to the fields in data source representing the x and y values of the series respectively. The query property of the series should be assigned to a query object for querying the data returned by the data manager.

The following code example demonstrates binding Chart to oData service.

JS

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {          
    //Assigning URL to data manager
    var dataManger = new ej.DataManager({
        url: "http://mvc.syncfusion.com/Services/Northwnd.svc/"
    });            
    // Object to query the data retrieved by data manager
    var query = ej.Query().from("Orders").take(6);
    $("#container").ejChart({
        series: [{
            //Assigning data manager as data source to chart
            dataSource: dataManger,
            xName: "ShipCity",
            yName: "Freight",
            query: query ,
        }],
    });
});
</script>
