I am trying to create a morris donut chart. I have modified it to get data from a local json file, but for some reason it doesnt load the chart.No error in the console also.
Here is the html file
<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>Morris.js Donut Chart Example</title>
</head>
<body onLoad="drawChart()">
<div id="donut-example"></div>
</body>
<script>
function drawChart() {
var jsonData = $.getJSON("data.json", function(json) {
console.log(json); // show the info in console
});
Morris.Donut({
element: 'donut-example',
data: jsonData
});
}
</script>
</html>
And here is my data.json file
[ {label: "Download Sales", value: 12}, {label: "In-Store Sales", value: 30}, {label: "In-Store Sales", value: 25}, {label: "Mail-Order Sales", value: 20} ]
Depends on your data conversion on server side you maybe parse it to json array again;
For example;
function drawChart() {
$.getJSON('@Url.Action("GetJsonData", "Home")',
function (data) {
Morris.Donut({
element: 'donut-example',
data: JSON.parse(data),
formatter: function (x) { return x + "%" }
});
}
);
}
