I am having trouble working with some SVG in React Native. I have a chart that is clickable and works well, I then needed to place another SVG on top of the chart in order to draw a line that would represent a limit score value. The problem that I am now facing is that I cannot click on the chart anymore since the view of the SVG is placed on top of it. I made the background color of the SVG to be transparent so that I can at least see the chart behind it but, I do not know how to make it clickable again.
Is there any work around where I can maybe make the chart clickable trough a transparent view that is place on top?
It might be a stupid question but I am pretty new to both react and JS in general, so I could really use any type of help. :)
Here is the picture of the chart:
And here the same Svg with a non-transparent background that, as you can see, covers almost the hole chart.
Here's the Svg code:
export class NutritionChartSvg extends Component {
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container} >
<Svg height={height * 0.5} width={width * 0.5} viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<Svg.Circle
id="circle"
cx="50"
cy="13"
r="40"
stroke="gray"
strokeWidth="0.6"
fill="none"
/>
<Text fill="black" fontSize="8" dy="-2">
<TextPath href="#circle" startOffset='181'>
100
</TextPath>
</Text>
</Svg>
</View>
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
alignContent: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center' ,
position: 'absolute',
left: '25%',
height: 'auto',
width: 'auto',
},
});'
This is the chart form chartjs:
export const NutritionChart = (props) => {
return (
<Chart
chartConfiguration={
{
type: 'polarArea',
data: {
labels: ['Fiber', 'Protein', 'Healthy Oil', 'Good Energy', 'Immune
Defense'],
datasets: [
{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [
50,
140,
90,
120,
100,
],
backgroundColor: backgroundColor,
borderColor: borderColor,
borderWidth: datasets.border,
hoverBackgroundColor: hoverBackgroundColor,
},
],
},
options: {
layout: {
padding: {
top: options.layout.padding.top,
bottom: options.layout.padding.bottom,
}
},
legend: {
display: false,
fullWidth: false,
labels: {
fontSize: options.legend.labels.fontSize,
boxWidth: options.legend.labels.boxWidth,
padding: options.legend.labels.padding,
}
},
scale: {
display: false,
ticks: {
min:0,
max:200,
}
},
responsive: true,
maintainAspectRatio: false,
},
}
}
defaultFontSize={10}
/>
);
};
and they are together in a view :
<View style={styles.nutritionChart} key={3}>
<NutritionChart/>
<NutritionChartSvg/>
</View>
Either:
pointer-events: none
on the top SVG. This will make clicks pass right through it.
