I'm drawing several charts on one of my webpage, however I randomly get the following error in the console:
TypeError: google.visualization.DataTable is not a constructor
I've tried to narrow down the issue by displaying one chart only but I still get the error message and no charts are drawn, about 50% of the time. When I don't get the errors the chart(s) is drawn properly.
I've read multiple forums and this documentation but I can't see what is wrong. I have basically the same code as the mentioned documentation, except that my functions are declared BEFORE the setOnLoadCallback, otherwise they get undefined.
Some of my (simplified) code:
MyPage.php :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
// loading CSS
</head>
<body>
<p>My page content...</p>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>
<script src="/js/home.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
// loading more scripts (moment.js, query.countdown.js, bootstrap.js...)
</body>
</html>
In home.js :
$(document).ready(function(){
if (window.location.href == 'XXXXXController') {
// This chart draws a dual axis chart showing revenues and expenses
function drawRevenuesExpenses() {
var jsonData = $.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/draw_dual_lineChart",
data: "someParameters",
dataType:"json"
}).done(function (jsonData) {
// Create our data table out of JSON data loaded from server.
var data_chart = new google.visualization.DataTable(jsonData[0]['data']);
// Set chart's options
var options = jsonData[1]['options'];
// Instantiate and draw the chart
var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('dual_chart_revenues_expenses'));
chart.draw(data_chart, options);
});
}
// This chart draws the resort's affluence (number of tourists per day)
function drawAffluence() {
var jsonData = $.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/draw_single_lineChart",
data: "someParameters",
dataType:"json"
}).done(function (jsonData) {
// Create our data table out of JSON data loaded from server.
var data_chart = new google.visualization.DataTable(jsonData[0]['data']);
// Set chart's options
var options = jsonData[1]['options'];
// Instantiate and draw the chart
var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('single_chart_affluence'));
chart.draw(data_chart, options);
});
}
google.charts.load('current', {'packages':['corechart']});
google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawRevenuesExpenses);
//google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawAffluence);
}
}

the documentation is pretty stale at this point...
don't recommend using more than one setOnLoadCallback statement
actually, you can place the callback directly in the load statement
and you can depend on the callback to know when the page is ready
no need for --> $(document).ready
try following setup, load google before anything else...
google.charts.load('current', {
callback: drawCharts,
packages: ['corechart']
});
function drawCharts() {
if (window.location.href == 'XXXXXController') {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/draw_dual_lineChart",
data: "someParameters",
dataType:"json"
}).done(function (jsonData) {
// Create our data table out of JSON data loaded from server.
var data_chart = new google.visualization.DataTable(jsonData[0]['data']);
// Set chart's options
var options = jsonData[1]['options'];
// Instantiate and draw the chart
var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('dual_chart_revenues_expenses'));
chart.draw(data_chart, options);
});
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/draw_single_lineChart",
data: "someParameters",
dataType:"json"
}).done(function (jsonData) {
// Create our data table out of JSON data loaded from server.
var data_chart = new google.visualization.DataTable(jsonData[0]['data']);
// Set chart's options
var options = jsonData[1]['options'];
// Instantiate and draw the chart
var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('single_chart_affluence'));
chart.draw(data_chart, options);
});
}
}
}
WhiteHat is right about everything, except you need to load the table-chart before using it. Like this:
google.charts.load("current", {
packages : [ "corechart","table" ]
});
