Question 2

Vue css donut chart vs chart.js for Vue – which should I use?

Accepted Answer

vue-css-donut-chart is better for lightweight, simple donut/pie charts with zero dependencies and Vue-native integration, while Chart.js offers more chart types but adds significant bundle size. Choose based on your need for variety vs. performance.

Question 4

How to customize colors in the chart segments?

Accepted Answer

Add a 'color' property to each object in the sections array with a valid CSS color value. If omitted, it uses predefined colors for up to 24 sections, but beyond that, custom colors are required.

Question 5

Does vue-css-donut-chart work on mobile or responsive layouts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports responsive design by allowing the size prop to use percentage units (e.g., unit='%'), making it adapt to different screen sizes without additional configuration.

Question 6

How to handle click events on the chart parts?

Accepted Answer

Use the @section-click event listener on the component, which passes the section object and native event. You can then implement custom logic, such as updating data or showing tooltips, based on the section's ident or label.
