kline_flutter 0.5.0

A Flutter candlestick and K-line financial chart library with technical indicators, OHLCV trading charts, depth charts, and customizable delegates.

ZHKLine Flutter

A Flutter candlestick chart and financial chart library for K-line charts, technical indicators, trading chart interactions, OHLCV data, and cumulative depth charts. It uses CustomPainter and delegate-based rendering, so you can start with the default UI and replace drawing, layout, overlays, or data adapters only where your app needs custom behavior.

Chinese documentation is available in README_CHINESE.md. For custom UI, depth chart integration, external controls, realtime data, and complete examples, see example/use_docs.md.

Why Use It

• Fast setup: pass a List<T> and a KLineDataAdapter<T> to render a ready-to-use Flutter candlestick chart with indicators, sub charts, long-press details, and loading states.
• Clear extension points: customize background, grid, indicator labels, main chart drawing, selected overlays, or depth charts through KLineChartDelegate<T> and DeepChartDelegate<T>.
• Extensible technical indicators: define main-chart and sub-chart indicators with KLineIndicatorSpec<T> and KLineIndicatorSeries<T> instead of editing enums or switch statements.
• Reusable defaults: extend KLineDefaultDelegateImpl<T> and call super to keep the default candles, indicators, grids, overlays, and selected details while adding only your business-specific drawing.
• Optimized for market data: candlesticks, indicators, and sub charts are painted with CustomPainter, reducing widget rebuild pressure for large OHLCV datasets.
• Native-feeling gestures: horizontal scrolling uses Flutter scroll physics and only calls pagination callbacks for user-driven drag gestures.
• Adapter-first data model: backend models, cached models, and calculated indicator models can be used directly through adapters.
• Complete chart features: built-in MA, EMA, BOLL, MACD, KDJ, RSI, WR, VOL, zoom, scroll, selected state control, and cumulative order-book depth charts.

Quick Start

Add the package to your Flutter project:

flutter pub add kline_flutter

Or add it manually:

dependencies:
  kline_flutter: ^0.5.0

Then import it:

import 'package:kline_flutter/kline_flutter.dart';

To run the example app:

git clone https://github.com/911hzh/ZHKLineFlutter.git
cd ZHKLineFlutter
cd example
flutter pub get
flutter run -d macos

Minimal Integration

You usually only need two pieces:

• MyCandle: your business candlestick model from an API, database, or local calculation.
• MyCandleAdapter: an adapter that exposes open, high, low, close, volume, and time labels to the chart.

import 'package:kline_flutter/kline_flutter.dart';

class MyCandle {
  const MyCandle({
    required this.open,
    required this.high,
    required this.low,
    required this.close,
    required this.volume,
    required this.timeLabel,
  });

  final double open;
  final double high;
  final double low;
  final double close;
  final double volume;
  final String timeLabel;
}

class MyCandleAdapter extends KLineDataAdapter<MyCandle> {
  const MyCandleAdapter();

  @override
  double open(MyCandle item) => item.open;

  @override
  double high(MyCandle item) => item.high;

  @override
  double low(MyCandle item) => item.low;

  @override
  double close(MyCandle item) => item.close;

  @override
  double volume(MyCandle item) => item.volume;

  @override
  String dateLabel(MyCandle item) => item.timeLabel;
}

In your UI, pass the data and adapter to KLineWidget:

class MarketPage extends StatelessWidget {
  const MarketPage({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return KLineWidget<MyCandle>(
      dataSource: candles,
      adapter: const MyCandleAdapter(),
      initialIndicators: const [KLineDefaultIndicators.volumeId],
    );
  }
}

More Usage

This README keeps the setup short. For dynamic indicators, realtime data, external controls, custom drawing, custom UI, Loading / Empty / Error states, and depth chart integration, see example/use_docs.md.

Core APIs

K-line Chart

• KLineWidget<T>: default K-line UI for fast integration.
• KLineChart<T>: core chart component for fully custom drawing.
• KLineChartDelegate<T>: rendering protocol for layout nodes, grids, main charts, sub charts, overlays, and selected-state UI.
• KLineDataAdapter<T>: business model adapter.
• KLineController: zoom, scroll, selected item, visible range, and indicator state control.
• KLineIndicatorSpec<T>: dynamic indicator definition for main charts, sub charts, and custom renderers.

Depth Chart

• DeepChart<T>: default depth chart component.
• DeepChartDataAdapter<T>: order-book data adapter.
• DeepChartDelegate<T>: depth chart rendering protocol.
• DeepChartLayoutConfig: layout config for the chart area and bottom price row.
