🍩 React Chartlet

A simple and tiny React charting library

Warning This package is unstable and still in active development. You are more than welcome to contribute and make use of it but please note that there will be breaking changes

Installation

yarn add @stevent-team/react-chartlet

Supported Charts

• DonutChart
• BarChart
• LineChart
• ScatterChart
• PercentageChart
• WordCloud
• TimeSeries

Examples

Please note that all charts are responsive by default; they will grow to fill the width of their container, and have height set to 100%. You can set a specific size on them, however if you don't your chart may not show up due to it's height being 0.

TLDR: If your chart doesn't appear, try setting an explicit height for it or its container 😎

LineChart

import { Chartlet, LineChart } from '@stevent-team/react-chartlet'

const series = [[0, 0], [1, 4], [2, 3], [3, 5]]

const MyPage = () => (
  <Chartlet series={[series]} height={300}>
    <LineChart />
  </Chartlet>
)

DonutChart

import { Chartlet, DonutChart } from '@stevent-team/react-chartlet'

const MyPage = () => (
  <Chartlet categories={{ A: 10, B: 20 }} height={300}>
    <DonutChart />
  </Chartlet>
)

Legend

Note Legends are not rendered using SVGs so they are placed outside of the Chartlet component. This allows you to re-style them using flex or grid however you prefer.

import { Chartlet, DonutChart, Legend } from '@stevent-team/react-chartlet'

const categories = { A: 10, B: 20 }

export const MyPage = () =>
  <div style={{ display: 'grid', gridTemplateColumns: '2fr 1fr' }}>
    <Chartlet categories={categories} height={250}>
      <DonutChart />
    </Chartlet>
    <Legend categories={categories} />
  </div>

API Reference

Types

Data Type	Prop Name	Format	Example	Supported Charts
CategoricalData	categories	Record<string, number>	{ a: 1 }	DonutChart, BarChart
GroupedCategoricalData	groups	Record<string, number[]>	{ a: [1, 2] }	BarChart
SeriesData	series	[number, number][][]	[[[0, 0], [1, 1]]]	LineChart

Context

Data props are shared to charts in the <Chartlet/> component using a context. However the <Legend/> should not be placed in a <Chartlet> and so must be explicitly passed data.

Generic Chart

The <GenericChart /> component allows dynamically choosing between different chart components using a type prop.

const DynamicChart = ({ data }) =>
  <Chartlet>
    <GenericChart type={data.isCategorical ? 'bar' : 'line'} />
  </Chartlet>

Docs

Note Coming soon... (in the short term, check out the prop interfaces for each chart)
