Highcharts JS VS Chart.js

Highcharts.js

For background, our environment is hosted in AWS and our data warehouse is in redshift. We currently use [High Charts](https://www.highcharts.com/) to render simple, in-app reports. We are pretty happy with High Charts, it is highly preferred over the other solutions by our dev team. We use [SciSense](https://www.sisense.com/) for the more advanced dashboards/reports both in-app and in a reporting app. I will simply say we are not happy with SciSense for a multitude of reasons. Finally for internal facing dashboarding and reporting we use MS Power BI. We will not use this solution for customer facing applications due to it's numerous UX "paper cuts" (a bunch of little things that combined make it a less than ideal UX, in our opinion).

Yep, the JS package is owned and maintained by Highsoft (www.highcharts.com), while the Python package is owned and maintained by one of my companies (HCP LLC). I’ve partnered with Highsoft, which means that you can get both the JS libraries and the Python package (which is a paid add-on for commercial use) from them ( https://shop.highcharts.com ).

My team plans to use High Charts https://www.highcharts.com/ . I don't believe they are Angular native, but easily wrapped with Angular.

Hey u/philthenin, thanks for the reply, yeah highcharts is also a cool library. Seems it is open source: https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts

its not php/composer, but if you can send the data to an html file, you can use HighCharts to turn the json data model into various nifty charts. It's javascript.

I would recommend Highcharts. It can be a bit overwhelming to begin with but it lets you build whatever kind of chart you want.

I am searching this repository

https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts

for Series.drawPoint and expecting a direct hit for

https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts/blob/29d2a83a5a997b...

practically I tried "Series" and "drawPoint" also.

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.

You can see the code that's generating these charts here: https://github.com/jamesbvaughan/jamesbvaughan.com/blob/main...
