React Timeseries Table

This library contains a Table component for rendering pond.js TimeSeries objects. The library is used on the public facing ESnet Portal.

Getting started

This library is intended to be installed with npm and the built into your project with a tool like Webpack. It expects React to be present, as well as our TimeSeries abstraction library, pond.js. More on this library below.

To install:

npm install react-timeseries-table pondjs --save

Once installed, you can import the Table component from the library:

import Table from "react-timeseries-table";

Then we construct our table in the render() function of our component. For a simple example let's create a table from some network availability data.

The first step is to take our data and construct a new TimeSeries object. The pond.js constructor uses a pretty simple format. Just supply a name, the columns and list of points. For the columns, the first column should be either "index" for a string based time range (such as a month, as shown below), or "time", for a timestamp (represented by number of ms since the epoch):

const availability = new TimeSeries({
    "name": "availability",
    "columns": ["index", "uptime", "notes", "outages"],
    "points": [
        ["2015-06", 100, "", 0],
        ["2015-05", 92, "Router failure June 12", 26],
        ["2015-04", 87, "Planned downtime in April", 82],
        ["2015-03", 99, "Minor outage March 2", 4],
        ...
    ]
});

Now that we have a TimeSeries made from our data, we need to define what our table will look like. We do this by defining our columns. This maps our data into our table:

const columns = [
    {key: "time", label: "Timestamp"},
    {key: "uptime", label: "Availability"},
    {key: "outages", label: "Outages", format: "04d"}
];

Then we can render our table:

<Table series={availability} timeFormat="MMMM, YYYY" columns={columns} />

Developing

The repo contains the examples website. This is very helpful in developing new functionality. Within a cloned repo, you first need to run:

npm install

This will install the development dependencies into your node_modules directory.

You can then start up the test server, as well as automatic source building, by doing:

npm run start-website

Then, point your browser to:

http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/
