Unable to embed vega-lite visualization in react

[Mahesha999]

Attempt 1 - data hardcoded in spec (working)

---

When I hardcode data in specs, it works. (check on codesandbox):

radialChart.js

import { createClassFromSpec } from "react-vega";

export const RadialChart = createClassFromSpec({
  spec: {
    $schema: "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v5.json",
    data: {
      values: [
        {
          "i-type": "A",
          count: 3,
          color: "rgb(121, 199, 227)"
        },
        {
          "i-type": "B",
          count: 20,
          color: "rgb(26, 49, 119)"
        },
        { "i-type": "C", count: 24, color: "rgb(18, 147, 154)" }
      ]
    },
    description: "A simple pie chart with labels.",
    encoding: {
      theta: { field: "count", type: "quantitative", stack: true },
      color: { field: "color", type: "nominal", legend: null, scale: null }
    },
    layer: [
      {
        mark: { type: "arc", outerRadius: 80 }
      }
    ]
  }
});

index.js

import { RadialChart } from "./radialChart.js";

import "./styles.css";
function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1>react-vega-lite test</h1>
      <RadialChart />
    </div>
  );
}

const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
ReactDOM.render(<App />, rootElement);

It renders:

Attempt 2 - dynamic data as suggested by docs (not working)

---

I tried to dynamically pass the data. Approach#1 here suggests the following changes:

radialChart.js

...
"data": [{ "name": "table" }],
...

radialData.js

const data = [ ... whole data array goes here ... ];

export default data;

index.js

import radialData from "./radialData";
//...
<RadialChart data={{ table: radialData }} />

However its not working. It gives following error:

Error: Unrecognized data set: table

    at eval (https://d78mhq.csb.app/node_modules/react-vega/esm/VegaEmbed.js:52:13)

and a warnings:

WARN Infinite extent for field "count_end": [Infinity, -Infinity] 
WARN Infinite extent for field "count_end": [Infinity, -Infinity] 

Here is the codesandbox. Here is the line in github where it is breaking which corresponds to line 86 in this bundled file. Did I make any mistake?

Update

---

Even passing data directly to RadialChart doesn't work (sandbox link):

<RadialChart
    data={{
      values: [
        {
          "i-type": "A",
          count: 3,
          color: "rgb(121, 199, 227)"
        },
        {
          "i-type": "B",
          count: 20,
          color: "rgb(26, 49, 119)"
        },
        { "i-type": "C", count: 24, color: "rgb(18, 147, 154)" }
      ]
    }}
  />

I guess the doc specifies it incorrectly, it should be have been:

"data": { "name": "table" },

instead of

"data": [{ "name": "table" }],

in radialChart.js.

Changing this fixes the issue as you can see in the corresponding sandbox, the visualization is rendered.

Now that I have resolved it myself, I will be happy if someone tells me how one can come up with this from the source code of react-vega.

The example in the docs is Vega. Your spec here is Vega-Lite, which uses a different way to add data as you noticed.
