Adds basic "other" bucketing on the x-axis, the same as on the bar chart, grouped bar chart, line chart, etc, to the grouped line chart.

This doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. It just does what the current charts do, for a new chart.


Add x-axis "Other" bucketing to the grouped line chart

Extends the existing xAxisMaxItems/"Other" bucketing behavior (already available on the standard bar and line charts) to LineChartGroupedPro, which previously had no x-axis limiting at all — it rendered one point per distinct x-axis value with no cap.

  • Added groupTailAsOtherPerGroup() (charts.utils.ts) — a grouped-chart-aware version of the existing groupTailAsOther(). Since grouped-chart data has one row per (x-axis value, group) pair rather than one row per x-axis value, it ranks distinct axis values, keeps the head, and aggregates the tail into one synthetic "Other" row per group so every line stays continuous. Extracted the shared sum/avg/min/max aggregation logic into a small aggregateMeasureValues helper, reused by both functions.
  • Wired a new xAxisMaxItems config input through LineChartGroupedPro's definition.tsindex.tsxLineChartGroupedPro.utils.ts, reusing the input already defined for the other charts.
  • getLineChartGroupedProData now pins the "Other" label to the end of the sorted x-axis labels, rather than letting it sort alphabetically wherever it happens to land.
  • No new data queries required — this is purely client-side post-processing on data already returned by the existing query, same cost profile as the standard chart's version.

SonarCloud fixes

  • typescript:S2871 — replaced a bare .sort() in LineChartGroupedPro.utils.ts with an explicit comparator that reproduces JS's default string-coercion sort (display order unchanged).
  • typescript:S1788 — removed default parameter values (= []) that preceded required parameters in groupTailAsOther/groupTailAsOtherPerGroup, handling the nullish case internally instead so no call sites needed to change.

Tests

Added coverage in charts.utils.test.ts for groupTailAsOtherPerGroup (bucketing by distinct axis count rather than row count, per-group "Other" rows, aggType handling, empty-data default) and in LineChartGroupedPro.utils.test.ts for getLineChartGroupedProData (maxItems wiring, alphabetical sort, "Other" pinned last, per-group "Other" values).

Known limitation (not fixed here)

Like the existing bar/line-default bucketing, this operates on data already capped by the generic maxResults query limit, and the underlying query has no orderBy, so the "top N" kept isn't guaranteed to be sorted by value. Out of scope for this PR — flagged for the broader bucketing revamp.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an optional limit for x-axis items in grouped line charts.
    • Excess x-axis values are grouped into an “Other” category for each series.
    • “Other” values are aggregated according to the selected measure, with labels sorted consistently and “Other” shown last.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of empty or undefined chart data.
    • Preserved correct per-group values when applying x-axis limits.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds per-group tail bucketing for grouped charts. It introduces xAxisMaxItems, aggregates overflow measures into group-specific “Other” rows, sorts axis labels explicitly, and adds utility and chart transformation tests.

Changes

Grouped axis bucketing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Per-group bucketing utility
src/components/charts/charts.utils.ts, src/components/charts/charts.utils.test.ts
The utilities aggregate measure values by aggregation type and add groupTailAsOtherPerGroup. Tests cover limits, missing values, averages, unchanged data, and undefined data.
Grouped line chart data transformation
src/components/charts/lines/LineChartGroupedPro/LineChartGroupedPro.utils.ts, src/components/charts/lines/LineChartGroupedPro/LineChartGroupedPro.utils.test.ts
The chart utility applies per-group bucketing, sorts axis labels with string comparison, and places “Other” last. Tests cover parameter forwarding and per-group results.
Axis limit input wiring
src/components/charts/lines/LineChartGroupedPro/definition.ts, src/components/charts/lines/LineChartGroupedPro/index.tsx
The component registers xAxisMaxItems, adds it to its props, and passes it to getLineChartGroupedProData.

Charts with a real “Other” category can silently omit aggregated values from the displayed line. Resolve the collision before merging.

@mad-raccoon - This one's much simpler. It's just adding x-axis bucketing (done in exactly the same way as it is done on the bar charts) to the grouped line chart. Here's an example of it working:
