Charts

← MongoDB Feedback Engine
MongoDB Charts is the best way to create visualizations of MongoDB data. Connect to any MongoDB instance as a data source, create charts and graphs, embed them into your applications or build live dashboards for sharing and collaboration.

How can we make Charts better?

  1. Re-zero bar chart after clicking legend item on stacked bar chart

    Being able to highlight an individual series by clicking on its name in the legend great! Having an option to allow it to display as an ordinary bar chart so the relative heights within that series can be compared would be even better.

  3. Optional Aggregation

    Most chart types rely on aggregation due to the nature of MongoDB datasets. Sometimes I have simple datasets where I want to set a field not as an aggregation but as the value of a field. Yes, we could use spreadsheets to achieve this, but its nice having all the charts in one interface

  4. lowlevel data api

    Mongodb-charts is great but still lacking a lot of features (which is not super surprising given it's age). To work around mobile issues, missing zoom, server side rendering and similar it would be great if the sdk exposed a low level data endpoint so that we can create our own visualizations on top of the aggregated & cached data from mongodb charts.

    I imagine sth like:

    const sdk = new ChartsEmbedSDK({
    baseUrl,
    });
    const data = await sdk.getData({chartId})

    unrelated side note: it would be great if the embed sdk was open source so that we can just contribute little enhancements…

  5. Support Rendering GeoJSON on a Map

    I have GeoJSON in my collection that is storing trip data as GeoJSON LineStrings for each trip and I simply want to render the trips on a map. Basically having Charts just draw the lines for each trip. Nice to have would be defining attributes to name them and color code them. I would expect this to apply to all GeoJSON types available.

  6. Chart element counts

    Charts should allow us to access the number of categories in a chart (e.g. number of bars, number of series/legend items). In this way we will have information to further customize the rendering, on the fly, via SDK if need be.

  7. Axis custom styling

    It'd be great to be able to change the font size, color, and also the orientation of the labels.
    Setting a maximum and minimum font size would be awesome.

  9. updating the min value dynamically to expand the chart

    Imagine this scenario: You have a price x data chart with a range between 110.000 and 120.000 for prices.
    But the chart always starts at 0. You ever have to update the minimum range manually to near 110.000 to show data in the graph appropriately. Counterproductive, not?
    So, I suggest creating a feature to updating the min value dynamically to expand the chart and ever occupy the entire space of the cartesian plane, especially in continuous charts.

  11. User Defined Choropleth

    Choropleths are limited to predefined regions right now. There should be a way to define your own geographic regions to fit the needs of your business.

    EG. Pacific NW may be Alaska, Washington, Oregon for one company, and include Idaho for another company. Or to define neighborhoods in a city.

  12. Prompt-able Filters

    There is a need to frequently change the date filter to produce reports for Month-to-date, Year-to-date, Specific date range, etc. Please provide option to build charts that prompt for attribute values on filter instead of just having a static filter.

  13. Default source

    When adding a chart normally you are using the same data source over and over. Why not pre-select that data source so that you avoid having to click that per every chart you add

  14. Sydney nodes for atlas charts

    It would be great if we could get some nodes to serve APAC for charts to bring down the latency a bit, rather than having to go to us-east-1 AWS region.

    I imagine this is planned as Stitch already has nodes in Sydney but I thought I would make a note.

    Thanks for all the hard work!

  15. Percentile Chart / Cumulative-Distribution-Function

    Often times just looking at just the average or min/max of the data might be misleading and understanding the distribution of the data is as important as the aggregated value itself. The Percentile Chart is useful for such scenarios as it helps to see the shape of the distribution, such as how big the tail is at either end, along with the value.

    My proposal is to integrate a percentile chart similar to what you find here : https://powerbi.microsoft.com/de-de/blog/visual-awesomeness-unlocked-percentile-chart/
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_distribution_function

    Thanks for the great work, I realy like mongo charts, keep going!

  17. Ability to download data for all charts from embedded dashboard level

    When we embed a whole dashboard using charts SDK, we have an option to download the dashboard as Image using getImage() api. However, we have no option to download underlying data of all charts.

    Tried Alternate:
    Dashboard API has getAllChart API which returns an array of DashboardChart objects, which contain only the chartId (from the metadata perspective of the chart). We can download the data using getData(), however we don't get business context (i.e. title of chart etc) to establish the relation of specific data with specific chart.

    So the request is to offer a feature to download all charts…

  18. Table Chart > Show Totals > Show Avg > Show Max > etc....

    Allow the "summary" row to show EITHER Totals, Or Average, Or MAX, OR etc....

    Take a look at any Excel pivot table to see how this functionality is implemented

  19. Last data point or last line segment to the point be rendered differently

    Hi Avinash/Tom (and team),

    Is it possible to have the last data point in a series be dotted or the line to that data point be dotted or some differing visual gestalt?

    Specifically, we have a time series rendering of our BU data and north star metrics in Charts at https://wiki.corp.mongodb.com/display/DE/North+Star+Metrics+by+Time+Period, I'd guess this is like a lot of dashboards for companies/customers.

    What we want to do for say the current month's data is have the line or the point be rendered differently whether dashed or shape or whatever to illustrate that that month's (or quarter or current year)…

  20. Custom Sort Heatmap Axis

    The user has no control over the sort of the heatmap axis. It would be nice to have the option to sort hours of the day e.g. that it is ascending from bottom to top instead of the default.
