Introduction

Today, in this tutorial we'll teach you how to count the all the data and also counts the filtered data in chart in dc.js. Once you filtered the charts, you need to reset the charts, here we also discuss how to reset the charts individually and all the charts at the same time.

Create Working environment

Setting up a working environment for this tutorial we will use the all the code from our previous tutorial: Link Two Charts, copy and paste the whole code in you new file and save it into your working directory.

        <script type="text/javascript">


          var paymentsRecord = [
          {date: "2011-11-14T16:17:54Z", quantity: 2, total: 190, tip: 100, type: "tab"},

          {date: "2011-11-14T16:30:43Z", quantity: 2, total: 90, tip: 0, type: "tab"},
          {date: "2011-11-14T16:48:46Z", quantity: 2, total: 90, tip: 0, type: "tab"},
          {date: "2011-11-14T16:53:41Z", quantity: 2, total: 90, tip: 0, type: "tab"},
          {date: "2011-11-14T16:54:06Z", quantity: 1, total: 100, tip: 0, type: "cash"},
          {date: "2011-11-14T16:58:03Z", quantity: 2, total: 90, tip: 0, type: "tab"},
          {date: "2011-11-14T17:07:21Z", quantity: 2, total: 90, tip: 0, type: "tab"},
          {date: "2011-11-14T17:22:59Z", quantity: 2, total: 90, tip: 0, type: "tab"},
          {date: "2011-11-14T17:25:45Z", quantity: 2, total: 200, tip: 0, type: "cash"},
          {date: "2011-11-14T17:29:52Z", quantity: 1, total: 200, tip: 100, type: "visa"}
        ];

        paymentsRecord.forEach(function(d){
            //console.log(typeof(d.date)); //check the type before it changes
            var orgDate = new Date(d.date); // changes the string date into origional date type
            d.date = orgDate; // Overwrite the String date with Original date type
            console.log(typeof(d.date)); //check the type after make change, you can see it converts into date object
        });

          var facts = crossfilter(paymentsRecord);

          // Data Table
        var facts = crossfilter(paymentsRecord);
        var dimensionByDate = facts.dimension(function(d){ return d.date; });

        // Pie Chart by Payment Type

        var dimensionByType = facts.dimension(function(d){ return d.type; });
        var groupByType = dimensionByType.group();


        var dataTable = dc.dataTable("#dataTable")
              .width(1360)
              .height(300)
              .dimension(dimensionByDate)
              .showGroups(false)
              //.size(7)
              .group(function(d){ return d.type; })
              .columns([{label:'Time',format: function(d){ return d.date.getHours()+':'+d.date.getMinutes(); }},
                        'quantity',
                        'total',
                        'tip',
                        'type',

                    ])
              .sortBy(function(d){ return d.type; })
              .order(d3.descending);



        var barChart = dc.pieChart('#pieChart')
              //.width(1024)
              .height(250)
              .radius(150)
              .dimension(dimensionByType)
              .group(groupByType)


        dc.renderAll();
          </script>
    </body>
</html>

Output:

Now you have to write the HTML code for the div we use to show the counted data. Write this code under the pieChart div.

            <div class="data-count" >Data Count: <span ></span> selected out of <span ></span></div>

Now give some styling to the data count div

      div.data-count{
          margin-left: 130px;
          text-align: center;
      }

Output:

Count all data

Above we set up our working environment for our work and now we'll move to count the data, We'll use the dataCount class of the dc.js library in order to count the data. Create an object of the dataCount class and also pass the class of the div we created above for the data count.

        var dataCcount = dc.dataCount(".data-count")
              .dimension(facts)
              .group()

Here we pass the crossfilter variable as the dimension of the data. The group, you can see is empty, here we'll group the all the corssfilter data and pass it into the .group([]) method.

          var facts = crossfilter(paymentsRecord);
          var groupAll = facts.groupAll();

Now pass the group of the data to .group([]) method

        var dataCcount = dc.dataCount(".data-count")
              .dimension(facts)
              .group(groupAll)

If you see the output there is nothing happens, to who the data, we'll use the dc.js classes: filter-count and total-count, add the classes to tab we created above.

<div class="data-count">Data Count: <span class="filter-count"></span> selected out of <span class="total-count"></span></div>

Output:

You can see it counts the record for us, first number is the filtered data and the second number is for total records we have. If we filters the chars you'll see the filtered data has changed.

As we selected cash in the pie chart it shows us only the payment done with through cash and our filtered number changes to 2 because we have only 2 record with cash payment.

dc.js also provide us the dc-data-count class specific to data counts change this class with the data-count class in the div and every where in the code where we use this class.

<div class="dc-data-count">Data Count: <span class="filter-count"></span> selected out of <span class="total-count"></span></div>

In our CSS

      div.dc-data-count{
          margin-left: 130px;
          text-align: center;
      }

And Also in our dataCount class object.

        var dataCcount = dc.dataCount(".dc-data-count")
              .dimension(facts)
              .group(groupAll)

Output:

You can see it automatically do the styling for us.

.html({}) method

Here we also have an interesting method we'll use it to do some cool work, it takes two arguments some and all

Use this method

        var dataCcount = dc.dataCount(".dc-data-count")
              .dimension(facts)
              .group(groupAll)
              .html({
                  some: '<strong>%filter-count</strong> selected out of <strong>%total-count</strong> records. ',
                  all: 'All records selected. Please click on the graph to apply filters.'
                });

Output:

You can see it only show us the message that we have selected all the records but if we filters the data.

Output:

When we filter the data it changes the message.

Rest Charts

Rest All the Charts

To reset the all the charts we'll use the two methods of the dc.js: dc.filterAll() and dc.renderAll() Use this methods as in the code

dc.filterAll() : Reset the data by removing all the filter from all dimension
dc.renderAll() : Redraw all the charts again

<div id="reset"> <a class="reset" href="javascript:dc.filterAll(); dc.renderAll();">Reset All</a></div>

Output:

Reset Chart Individually

To reset only a single chart instead of all the charts use this code.

<a class="reset" style="display:none" href="javascript:pieChart.filterAll(); dc.redrawAll();">reset</a>

This will only reset the pieChart, and this is the object of the pieChart Class. Apply it by yourself in the code. If this not works for you you can see how to apply it in our DC Charts Dashboard source code.
