Chart.js VS recharts

ChartsJS for inspiring me with the pie chart.

Most of frontend libraries are made with Vanilla JS. An example of library that you might frequently use is "Chart.js". But React is not compatible with Chart.js so here it comes "React-chartjs-2" A wrapper library to work with Chart.js in React ecosystem. Oh you want to use "three.js" for some cool 3D? you will need "React-three/fiber". In my case, I need to implement "telegram-web-app", not so fast, I have to create my own wrapper to be able to use it.

Chart.js

Chart.js is a free, open-source JavaScript library for data visualization, which supports eight chart types: bar, line, area, pie, bubble, radar, polar and scatter. It's licensed under the permissive MIT license and is renowned for being flexible, lightweight, easy to use and extendible.

They are images so it could be any number of things, datawrapper, charts.js, d3.js to name a few options.

Charts.js for creating diagrams

Connie Leung wrote a tutorial to demonstrate how these new hooks work, integrating an Angular app with the Chart.js library: "DOM reading and writing with new lifecycle hooks in Angular"

Thanks to all who participated in our 2023 Self-Host User Survey! Below is a link to the results, which we've visualized using Chart.js.

Chart.js

I used chart.js [0], but I don't necessarily endorse it - it's just what I knew how to use quickly. I usually try to keep my posts free from javascript, and could have used a different tool that gives me SVG data or images.

We first build the dashboard page where we present stats for relevant KPIs in cards, charts and a table. We use the React-based Recharts library for plotting our data.

Hi all, I am one of the (few) current maintainers of the relatively popular recharts charting library.

This library has more than 20K stars on GitHub and more than 1.3 million weekly downloads on NPM as of August 2023.

Recharts is another React charting library that simplifies creating charts by providing a wide range of chart components out of the box. It is built on top of D3.js but abstracts away the complexities, making it easier for React developers to create interactive and visually appealing charts and graphs. Recharts leverage the power of SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) for rendering, allowing charts to be scalable and fit on any screen size.

Recharts is a charting library that allows you to create attractive and informative data visualizations.

The next scene I had in mind was an animated pie chart. There are so many charting libraries around that I was sure one of them would fit my needs. The pie chart below was rendered using recharts, utilizing its mount animation. To get the results, I recorded my screen like the first scene.

This is the last integration of this article, and maybe the most fun! A dashboard cannot be considered complete unless we show a chart or diagram to visually display information. For this part of the demo, we’ll use mui for the components and recharts for the graphs.

I built the bot off a typescript discordjs template I found on Replit.com. The Dashboard is built with Wasp (a full-stack React and ExpressJS framework that makes prototyping super quick) and with [recharts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/recharts) (a sexy charts package built on top of D3js). On the backend, I do a lot of work to the data to be able to pass it in different categories to the frontend
