Rendering supernovae

You can render a supernova in two ways:

1. On the fly
2. From existing object

Rendering is done using the render() method on the nucleus instance, which at minimum requires the HTMLElement you want to render into:

const n = nucleus(enigmaApp);
n.render({
  element,
  // rest of the config
});

Render on the fly

When rendering a supernova on the fly you need to specify the type of supernova to render:

n.render({
  element,
  type: 'barchart',
});

Some supernovae have minimum requirements on the various properties and/or data it needs in order to render, in which case you might see something like this:

To provide initial data to the supernova, add the data dimensions and measures into the fields property:

n.render({
  element,
  type: 'barchart',
  fields: ['Region', '=sum(Sales)'],
});

You can also modify the initial properties of the supernova:

n.render({
  element,
  type: 'barchart',
  fields: ['Product', '=sum(Sales)'],
  properties: {
    title: 'Sales by region',
  },
});

Render from existing objects

If you already have created a generic object in your app and want to render it, you can do so by providing the object's id:

n.render({
  element,
  id: '<ObjectID>',
});
