How to replay animation chart.js - jquery-animate

How is it possible to replay the animation on a chart create with chart.js ?
Is there a specific function ? Or may I recall and reconstruct my chart ?

I'm not aware of how to do this within chart.js but if you provide code I maybe able to help further.
You could put your chart within a setInterval, if you create it outside the setInterval it will be shown on page load and then again within the setInterval and it will be repeated at the specified time.
Further information on setInterval is available here - http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_setinterval.asp.

Vue 3 disable caching of components - previous components are now being stacked

I am developing a Vue3 application with a component that renders a D3 chart.
The problem occurs when I navigate to another page and get back to the same D3 component but with different data. The D3 charts keep on getting stacked on each other.
I am using Vue3 and found it is a bit difficult to disable caching of components but perhaps I missed some options. I wouldn't mind disabling caching completely, because most of the data is obtained from localStorage, so pretty quick anyway
Here is a sandbox to illustrate the problem:
https://codesandbox.io/s/vue-3-vuex-4-vue-router-forked-eem3ui?file=/src/components/Miserables.vue
If you click on the "Miserables" link, then to another link (Playerlist or About) and back to Miserables, you'll see the charts stacked.
You have at least 2 "smells" in your code:
you are creating and injecting <script> tags every time your Miserables component is being mounted - after multiple mountings you will have a lot of duplicate JavaScript code, pontentially poluting the global namespace (multiple times) and worse - potentially attaching multiple event handlers or setting up timers;
on every mounting you are creating a new SVG and appending it to the BODY - so it's not Vue's fault that you're getting multiple SVGs on the page;

How to update vue2-frappe chart?

I've been breaking my head over this for the last few hours and no matter where I look I can't seem to find the answer.
I'm using vue2-frappe as my chart library. I'm using a simple bar chart to display certain values by day. Everything was fine until my higher-ups decided they wanted to show a whole year's worth of values on this chart, meaning I have to add some pagination to it.
The problem is, now I can't figure out how to make the chart rerender. I've tried replacing the entire object I've bound the chart to, as well as manipulating specific values, but nothing seems to make the component rerender.
In the documentation for frappe.js, you can modify data via specific methods, but this being Vue I can't just call chart.update() like in normal .js. And if I inspect the component via vue dev tools, I can see it contains the modified data, it just doesn't redraw itself.
Anyone have an idea what to do?
I would try to force update the view component.
VueJs reactivity can sometimes be confusing where you think it should react to changes but it doesn't.
You can force a view update like so:
// Globally
import Vue from 'vue';
Vue.forceUpdate();
// Using the component instance
export default {
methods: {
methodThatForcesUpdate() {
// ...
this.$forceUpdate(); // Notice we have to use a $ here
// ...
}
}
}
You can read about correct ways of re-rendering here: https://michaelnthiessen.com/force-re-render
There are caveats to this approach as outlined in vueJs's docs: https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/list.html#Caveats
Note #
A force re-render wont update computed values, but your computed property shouldn't contain any external non-reactive variable anyway.
Note 2
The above article written by Michael Thiessen also states the best way in his opinion is key-changing which I think we all should be aware of.
I hope this puts you on the right track. It sounds like (with limited information) you could be replacing the data but using the same key.

When to create a component? - Vue.js

I get all the concept of components but one thing I am stuck at is - when to create a component? In other words, what part of the page should be a component?
Link to sample problem image
Taking above image as example, what I think is progress bar can be one component and form, quotes list, blue alert can be second component.
Please advise as necessary.
There can be many reasons for creating components, such as when you need to create a reusable element, splitting the code to make it easier to understand and reduce code complexity.
In your case 1. you can put both of the sections into a single component or you can put them into separate components if you want to reuse them somewhere. 2. if your code is too much and you want to make it simpler to understand in that case you can also create separate components.

Vuejs directive masonry detect prepend to array and redraw properly

I am using the vue-masonry plugin which let me create a masonry grid easily.
I created a system of infinite loading where you scroll to the bottom of the page and it append new pictures to an array binded with the vue-masonry plugin.
The problem happen when I created a system of polling for the new pictures that were upoaded by other users. Those new pictures need to be at the top of the masonry grid.
The plugin use two Vue Directive masonry (parent) and masonryTile (element). masonryTile has a v-for which loop through the array binded with my Vue instance (which does all the heavy lifting, preloading, sanityzing, etc...).
Is there a way in the directives to know the differences between something being appended or prepended? And try to react differently (I know masonry has some append/prepend method) but in here and with this plugin, the items where already added (at the beginning so the prepend works with Vue) but there's no masonry interaction nor redraw (I tried to use the prototype to trigger the redraw this.$redrawVueMasonry();).
So I don't know what's next to do. Continue finding a way to differentiate a prepend from a append and trying to bind it to the respective masonry's methods ? Or another method that I didn't think of...
Thanks in advance for you help
Ps : I don't think my code is really relevant since It's more a way to optimize the plugin. If you want some specific part of my code anymay, tell me in the comment !
This probably comes a bit too late, this being a 10 month old question.
However vue-masonry is able to handle situations where items are spliced anywhere in the array. But to properly update the grid this.$redrawVueMasonry() should be called inside this.$nextTick() like this:
this.$nextTick(() => this.$redrawVueMasonry());
Hope this helps, if not the original poster, someone else.

Trying to make dynamically created element draggable

I'm trying to create a dynamic input element that is draggable. Now the problem is I create an element but when I use something like
$("#in"+index.toString()).draggable({cancel:true});
after I append it to the container div, it's not working. Basically it's not working for the dynamically created input element of a certain id. Here's the code and please feel free to point out problems. I could really use some help on this one. Thanks!

The problem is that you are creating a new element that is not bound to the UI functions. I would suggest using clone(true,true) and then changing the parameters of the cloned element as need be. You can learn more about clone here. http://api.jquery.com/clone/
