Creating a curve through div points on a graph

Hey guys,

I have a bit of an unusual issue with my toddle project. I've created a graph where I'll have 7 dots where the positioning is set to style variables that will come from my db, this functionality is working as intended, but I would like to create a curve that runs through these 7 dots.

So far I've tried to make a custom action where I import my 7 point variables and create a SVG bezier curve that should run through thoose 7 points and then set that as innerHTML of the div, but for some reason it seems like it can't find the div?

I've tried doing it both inside and outside of a component.

Does anyone have an idea where I may be going wrong, or another (easier) solution to this?

What does your action look like?

Okay. And how do you pass the element to the function?

As a variable, where I used a toddle formula to get the element by id, then pass that in as one of the arguments to be used

- Did you set the ID on the div you want to find?
- can you add a console log in the action for the element and see if it is defined
- try not to store it in a variable (I'm not sure this is possible...) and use the formula directly on the input of the action

Yep, I did set the ID.

I looked at the console before, and I keep getting some variations of it not being defined or null.

What would it look like if it wasn't stored as a variable?

You have an fx button at the input of your action, where you attach your variable. Don't attach the variable here, but the get element by ID formula

Seems like it can't find it still

Ah, now you changed your custom action. It will not work that way.
The custom action was fine

Here is a working version: https://toddle.dev/projects/randomtests/branches/svg/components/astropage?leftpanel=design&rightpanel=attributes&canvas-width=800&canvas-height=800&mode=design

The issue is that you call that action on load of the page. That means that it is called once the page is loaded. But that does not mean that all elements have been rendered. This probably works on the live/preview site, but not the editor, as it is slower. Here, I added a 1000ms delay, which is a dirty workaround. What I would do is create a component for your chart and call that action inside that component on load. It does not have to be / should not be on page level

Thanks a lot Max!

So I would trigger the action when the component loads, or on page load?

In the component on load.

Ok, I tried doing this inside a component before, but it still wouldn't render. Wouldn't this suggest that I'd still have to use some delay to get it to render properly?

I am pretty sure this should work within a component, but of course I might be wrong. Test and see 😊
