VictoryCandlestick renders a dataset as a series of candlesticks. VictoryCandlestick can be composed with VictoryChart to create candlestick charts.

<VictoryChart
  theme={VictoryTheme.material}
  domainPadding={{ x: 25 }}
  scale={{ x: "time" }}
>
<VictoryAxis tickFormat={(t) => `${t.getDate()}/${t.getMonth()}`}/>
<VictoryAxis dependentAxis/>
<VictoryCandlestick
  candleColors={{ positive: "#5f5c5b", negative: "#c43a31" }}
  data={sampleDataDates}
/>
</VictoryChart>

type: boolean || object

VictoryCandlestick uses the standard animate prop. Read about it here

See the Animations Guide for more detail on animations and transitions

animate={{
  duration: 2000,
  onLoad: { duration: 1000 }
}}

type: { positive: string, negative: string }

Candle colors are significant in candlestick charts, with colors indicating whether a market closed higher than it opened (positive), or closed lower than it opened (negative). The candleColors prop should be given as an object with color strings specified for positive and negative.

default (provided by default theme): candleColors={{positive: "white", negative: "black"}}

<VictoryCandlestick
  candleColors={{ positive: "#5f5c5b", negative: "#c43a31" }}
  data={sampleDataDates}
/>

type: number

The candleRatio prop specifies an approximate ratio between candle widths and spaces between candles. When width is not specified via the candleWidth prop or in candle styles, the candleRatio prop will be used to calculate a default width for each candle given the total number of candles in the data series and the overall width of the chart.

<VictoryCandlestick
  candleRatio={0.8}
  data={sampleDataDates}
/>

type: number || function

The candleWidth prop is used to specify the width of each candle. This prop may be given as a number of pixels or as a function that returns a number. When this prop is given as a function, it will be evaluated with a single argument: an object containing all the props passed to the Candle component. When this value is not given, a default value will be calculated based on the overall dimensions of the chart, and the number of candles.

Note: It is still possible to define candle width via the style prop with the width attribute, but candleWidth will take precedence.

<VictoryCandlestick
  candleWidth={55}
  data={sampleDataDates}
/>

type: array[string] || { x: array[string], y: array[string] }

VictoryCandlestick uses the standard categories prop. Read about it here

type: string || integer || array[string] || function

Use close data accessor prop to define the close value of a candle.

string: specify which property in an array of data objects should be used as the close value

examples: close="closing_value"

function: use a function to translate each element in a data array into a close value

examples: close={() => 10}

array index: specify which index of an array should be used as a close value when data is given as an array of arrays

examples: close={1}

path string or path array: specify which property in an array of nested data objects should be used as a close value

examples: close="bonds.close", close={["bonds", "close"]}

type: element

The closeLabelComponent prop takes a component instance which will be used to render the label corresponding to the close value for each candle. The new element created from the passed closeLabelComponent will be supplied with the following props: x, y, datum, index, scale, verticalAnchor, textAnchor, angle, transform, style and events. Any of these props may be overridden by passing in props to the supplied component, or modified or ignored within the custom component itself. If closeLabelComponent is omitted, a new [VictoryLabel][] will be created with props described above.

See the Custom Components Guide for more detail on creating your own components

default: closeLabelComponent={<VictoryLabel/>}

closeLabelComponent={<VictoryLabel dy={20}/>}

<VictoryCandlestick
  data={sampleDataDates}

type: array || function || boolean

The closeLabels prop defines the labels that will correspond to the close value for each candle. This prop should be given as a boolean, an array or as a function of the props corresponding to that label. When given as a boolean value, the max value of each datum will be used for the label.

• closeLabels
• closeLabels={["first", "second", "third"]}
• closeLabels={({ datum }) => Math.round(datum.close)}

Any valid svg styles are supported, but width, height, and padding should be specified via props as they determine relative layout for components in VictoryChart. Functional styles may be defined for style properties, and they will be evaluated with the props corresponding to each element.

note: When a component is rendered as a child of another Victory component, or within a custom <svg> element with standalone={false} parent styles will be applied to the enclosing <g> tag. Many styles that can be applied to a parent <svg> will not be expressed when applied to a <g>.

note: custom angle and verticalAnchor properties may be included in labels styles.
