Victory Primitives

Victory is built around a set of simple, stateless components. Along with VictoryContainer, VictoryClipContainer, and VictoryLabel, the following list represents every simple element a Victory component might render. These simple components are responsible for supplying props to primitive components. Victory maintains a small subset of primitive components with additional logic in place to prevent unnecessary rendering. Extracting every rendered element into its own component allows Victory to support both web and React Native applications with very little additional code, as only a few components need to be modified to render react-native-svg elements rather than SVG elements. These primitives are also exposed for users to wrap, extend or reference when creating their own custom rendered components.

Primitive Components

Each of these primitive components renders SVG elements. The following components are the only Victory components that render SVG elements with the exception of VictoryContainer and VictoryPortal. These elements are used by other simple components such as Bar and Area.

Circle

Used by Background, VictoryClipContainer, and Voronoi

const Circle = (props) => <circle vectorEffect="non-scaling-stroke" {...props} />;

ClipPath

Used by VictoryClipContainer and Voronoi

const ClipPath = (props) => (
  <defs>
    <clipPath id={props.clipId}>{props.children}</clipPath>
  </defs>
);

Line

Used by Axis, Candle, and ErrorBar

const Line = (props) => <line vectorEffect="non-scaling-stroke" {...props} />;

Path

Used by Arc, Area, Bar, Curve, Flyout, Point, Slice, and Voronoi

const Path = (props) => <path {...props} />;

Rect

Used by VictoryClipPath, Background, Border, and Candle

const Rect = (props) => <rect vectorEffect="non-scaling-stroke" {...props} />;

Text

Used by VictoryLabel

const Text = (props) => {
  const { children, title, desc, ...rest } = props;
  return (
    <text {...rest}>
      {title && <title>{title}</title>}
      {desc && <desc>{desc}</desc>}
      {children}
    </text>
  );
};

TSpan

Used by VictoryLabel

const TSpan = (props) => <tspan {...props} />;
