On: Show HN: Create Javascript charts with one line of Ruby

[jqueryin]

The ruby wrapper lib around the JS is dead simple. Could be ported to any language with ease. Very nice work!

If anyone's looking for similar functionality for PHP (Database-level time-grouping, time-ranged drilldowns, charts), you can check out http://razorflow.com

(Disclosure: I am the developer of RazorFlow, and am only posting here because I feel it's relevant to this particular story)

Thanks! I started out heavy on the Ruby side but moved most logic to the JS to make AJAX charts dead simple to implement. (render :json => chart_data)

[mccolin → akane]

The ruby wrapping lib supports AJAX out of the box by passing a URL or route path to the helper and returning JSON from that endpoint.

Well, well, mccolin replying to akane, long live Context Optional. And nice work akane.

[mccolin → proletarian]

Long live Context Optional, indeed!

We are building something similar for Django/Python:

I am going to pick up some ideas from your code.

shabda - this is great. i'm going to try this out and contribute some more graph types over the next few weeks.
