Common Container Props

type: string

The aria-describedby prop applies to the svg element rendered by VictoryContainer. This prop should be given as a string corresponding to the id of an element that describes the chart. If the desc prop is set on VictoryContainer, the aria-describedby prop applied to VictoryContainer's svg will correspond to the id of the desc tag VictoryContainer renders.

type: string

The aria-labelledby prop applies to the svg element rendered by VictoryContainer. This prop should be given as a string corresponding to the id of an element that labels the chart. If the title prop is set on VictoryContainer, the aria-labelledby prop applied to VictoryContainer's svg will correspond to the id of the title tag VictoryContainer renders.

type: element || array[element]

The children prop specifies the child or children that will be rendered within the container. This prop should not be set manually. It will be set by whatever Victory component is rendering the container.

type: string

The className prop specifies a className that will be applied to the outer-most div rendered by VictoryContainer if this prop is not set, the className will default to "VictoryContainer"

example: className="myChart"

type: number || string

The containerId prop may be used to set a deterministic id for the container. When a containerId is not manually set, a unique id will be generated. It is usually necessary to set deterministic ids for automated testing.

type: function

The containerRef prop may be used to attach a ref to the outermost element rendered by the container. This prop should be given as a function.

example: containerRef={(ref) => { this.chartRef = ref; }}

type: string

The desc prop specifies the description of the chart/SVG to assist with accessibility for screen readers. The more descriptive this title is, the more useful it will be for people using screen readers.

example: desc="Golden retrievers make up 30%, Labs make up 25%, and other dog breeds are not represented above 5% each."

type: object

The events prop attaches arbitrary event handlers to the container element. This prop should be given as an object of event names and corresponding React event handlers. Events defined directly via this prop will be masked by defaultEvents on VictorySelectionContainer (onMouseDown, onMouseUp, and onMouseMove), and by any events defined through Victory's event system that target parent elements.

example: events={{onClick: (evt) => alert("x: " + evt.clientX)}}

type: number

The height prop determines the height of the containing <svg>. By default VictoryContainer renders responsive containers with the viewBox attribute set to viewBox="0, 0, width, height" and width="100%", height="100%". In responsive containers, the width and height props affect the aspect ratio of the rendered component, while the absolute width and height are determined by the container. To render a static container, set responsive={false}

example: height={350}

type: number || string

The ouiaId prop outputs an id attribute called data-ouia-component-id, which must be unique within the surrounding context of the component.

This prop is used by the Open UI Automation 1.0-RC spec to help maintain automated testing environments. Components that are OUIA compliant must provide the following props; ouiaId, ouiaSafe, and ouiaType.

type: boolean

The ouiaSafe outputs an attribute called data-ouia-safe, which indicates that the component is in a static state.

This prop is used by the Open UI Automation 1.0-RC spec to help maintain automated testing environments. Components that are OUIA compliant must provide the following props; ouiaId, ouiaSafe, and ouiaType.

default: ouiaId={true}

type: string

The ouiaType prop outputs an attribute called data-ouia-component-type, which specifies a unique name identifying the root level HTML element.

This prop is used by the Open UI Automation 1.0-RC spec to help maintain automated testing environments. Components that are OUIA compliant must provide the following props; ouiaId, ouiaSafe, and ouiaType.

example: A page that has a special container could choose to name that container as FrameworkA/CustomContainer.

type: element

The portalComponent prop takes a component instance which will be used as a container for children that should render inside a top-level container so that they will always appear above other elements. VictoryTooltip renders inside a portal so that tooltips always render above data. VictoryPortal is used to define elements that should render in the portal container. This prop defaults to Portal, and should only be overridden when changing rendered elements from SVG to another type of element e.g., react-native-svg elements.

default: portalComponent={<Portal/>}

type: number

The portalZIndex prop determines the z-index of the div enclosing the portal component. If a portalZIndex prop is not set, the z-index of the enclosing div will be set to 99.

type: string

The preserveAspectRatio prop applies to the svg elements rendered by VictoryContainer to give users more control over how responsive svgs are positioned and scaled. When the responsive prop on VictoryContainer is set to false, this prop has no effect.

type: boolean

The responsive prop specifies whether the rendered container should be a responsive container with a viewBox attribute, or a static container with absolute width and height.

default: responsive={true}

type: string

The role prop specifies the role attribute that will be applied to the svg element rendered by VictoryContainer

default: role="img"

type: object

The style prop defines the style of the container, and should be given as an object of style attributes. The width and height should be specified via props instead of style attributes as they determine relative layout for components.

example: style={{border: "1px solid #ccc"}}

default (provided by default theme): VictoryTheme.grayscale. See VictoryTheme for more detail.

type: number

The tabIndex prop applies to the svg element rendered by VictoryContainer to allow users to focus on the chart container via keyboard navigation. This prop should be given as a number.

type: object

The theme prop specifies a theme to use for determining styles and layout props for a component. Any styles or props defined in theme may be overridden by props specified on the component instance. By default, components use a grayscale theme. Read more about themes here.

example: theme={VictoryTheme.material}

type: string

The title prop specifies the title to be applied to the SVG to assist with accessibility for screen readers. The more descriptive this title is, the more useful it will be for people using screen readers

example: title="Popularity of Dog Breeds by Percentage"

type: number

The width prop determines the width of the containing <svg>. By default VictoryContainer renders responsive containers with the viewBox attribute set to viewBox="0, 0, width, height" and width="100%", height="auto". In responsive containers, the width and height props affect the aspect ratio of the rendered component, while the absolute width and height are determined by the container. To render a static container, set responsive={false}

example: width={350}

type: function

The optional onTouchStart prop takes a function that is called on every touch event on the chart (when using victory-native). The most common use of onTouchStart is to prevent the chart's parent ScrollView from scrolling, so that the chart and container can be interacted with unencumbered. The function accepts a single parameter, event, a React Native Synthetic Event. Also see onTouchEnd.

example:

<ScrollView scrollEnabled={this.state.scrollEnabled}>
  <VictoryChart
    containerComponent={
      <VictoryContainer
        onTouchStart={() => this.setState({ scrollEnabled: false })}
        onTouchEnd={() => this.setState({ scrollEnabled: true })}
      />
    }
  >
    <VictoryBar />
  </VictoryChart>
</ScrollView>

type: function

The optional onTouchEnd prop takes a function that is called at the conclusion of every touch event on the chart (when using victory-native). The most common use of onTouchEnd is to prevent the chart's parent ScrollView from scrolling, so that the chart and container can be interacted with unencumbered. The function accepts a single parameter, event, a React Native Synthetic Event. Also see onTouchStart.
