Working on persian date type

[sayjeyhi]

Hi there , I am working on amChart.js to make support of persian date type(Jalali) I did some trick and now we can use amCharts wtih persian date format , but the source of amcharts free version is minified , could we have not minified version of amcharts ? Even we can contribute the completed code after it works.

Thanks.

Hi there,

Only OEM license holders have access to the unminified source. The free version is always minified. We appreciate the offer, however we don't accept patches. This repo is for distribution only.

Note that rather than modifiying the sources directly, you can leverage the labelFunction and categoryBalloonFunction to format your dates to the desired format using a library such as persian date:

  chartCursor: {
    categoryBalloonFunction: function(dateObj) {
      return persianDate(dateObj).format("MMM DD, YYYY");
    }
  },

  categoryAxis: {
    parseDates: true,
    labelFunction: function(dateText, dateObj, categoryAxis, period) {
      var labelText;
      var pDate = persianDate(dateObj);
      switch (period) {
        case "YYYY":
          labelText = pDate.format("YYYY");
          break;
        case "MM":
          labelText = pDate.format("MMM YYYY");
          break;
        default:
          labelText = pDate.format("MMM DD");
          break;
      }

      return labelText;
    }
  },

Another approach you can take is to create a new lang file based on the formats in the amcharts/lang folder so that the chart can do most of the legwork without using a label function and external library. The only limitation is that you can't format numbers like the persian date library.

I hope this helps.

Great , thanks alot . Ofcourse I created an AmCharts.jalali.js version and it was working with UTC dateTime format , but this will be so better than that , and we will use this instead .

You're welcome.

Also my apologies for the broken persian date docs link. The correct docs URL is http://babakhani.github.io/PersianWebToolkit/doc/persian-date/ and the repo is at https://github.com/babakhani/persianDate.

Best,
