lime-echart

When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever the user wants to:

• Create ECharts charts (line, bar, pie, scatter, radar, gauge, etc.) in UniApp or UniAppX
• Display data visualizations in H5, mini-programs, or native App
• Handle chart events, dynamic data updates, or custom themes in UniApp
• Optimize chart performance for mobile environments

How to use this skill

Workflow

1. Install lime-echart - Load examples/getting-started/installation.md
2. Choose chart type - Match the requirement to the chart type below
3. Load the example file - Each chart type has a dedicated example in examples/charts/
4. Customize - Adjust options, theme, and data binding per the API docs

Quick-Start Example: Line Chart in UniApp

<template>
  <view class="chart-container">
    <l-echart ref="chartRef" @bindinit="onInit" />
  </view>
</template>

<script>
import * as echarts from '@nicefan/lime-echart/echarts';

export default {
  methods: {
    onInit(chart) {
      chart.setOption({
        xAxis: { type: 'category', data: ['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri'] },
        yAxis: { type: 'value' },
        series: [{
          type: 'line',
          data: [120, 200, 150, 80, 270],
          smooth: true,
          lineStyle: { color: '#5470c6' }
        }]
      });
    }
  }
};
</script>

<style>
.chart-container { width: 100%; height: 300px; }
</style>

Chart Type Reference

Chart	File	Use Case
Line	examples/charts/line-chart.md	Trends over time
Bar	examples/charts/bar-chart.md	Category comparison
Pie	examples/charts/pie-chart.md	Proportions
Scatter	examples/charts/scatter-chart.md	Correlation
Radar	examples/charts/radar-chart.md	Multi-dimension comparison
Gauge	examples/charts/gauge-chart.md	Single metric display

API Reference

• api/component-api.md - Component properties and attributes
• api/methods-api.md - Chart manipulation methods
• api/events-api.md - Event handling (click, hover, zoom)
• api/options-api.md - Full ECharts options reference

Best Practices

1. Dispose on unmount - Call chart.dispose() in onUnload to prevent memory leaks
2. Lazy load charts - Initialize charts only when they scroll into view
3. Test cross-platform - Verify on H5, WeChat mini-program, and native App
4. Optimize data volume - Downsample large datasets before rendering on mobile
5. Use CSS sizing - Set chart container dimensions via CSS, not inline styles
